Interview with Abdi Abdirahman

Quote
Q: Your laid-back attitude, not obsessing about mileage or diet, is unusual among competitive runners. If you were part of an organized training group, do you think it would be harder to take a day off, or go out for drinks of an evening?

A: Yeah definitely. For me, a lot of people say, if he would have done this or that, he'd be better. He's not dedicated. He doesn't train hard enough: He doesn't even do 100 miles. If he did 140 miles/week, he'd be better. One time, I tried that. I did 130, 140 miles for two or three weeks. I came out injured. It doesn't work for me. Less miles, high intensity, like Bernard. He only does 70 miles/week, but so fast, all fast. And you know, I made four Olympic teams. That's not easy.

this is my argument with people who say bolt could have been faster with better training or more dedication, or that randy moss would have been a better WR if he'd smoked less weed, or whatever. everyone is different, and when someone is the best ever at what they do -- or even very elite -- it's hard to believe that doing things differently would have improved their results. usain bolt is the fastest 100m runner of all time by more than a tenth of a second! randy moss was completely uncoverable for years!

if this dude can make four olympic teams with 70 miles a week, and when he tried to run more got hurt, then who's to say that if he'd had more driven coaching he wouldn't have broken down in his early 20s and never competed at an international level? counterfactuals are all problematic; counterfactuals second-guessing success more so than most.

For each performance level the speed decrease associated with temperature increase and decrease is presented in supplementary data (Table S3).

For example the optimal temperature at which women's P1 maximal running speed was attained was 9.9°C, and an increase of 1°C from this optimal temperature will result in a speed loss of 0.03%. The optimal temperatures to run at maximal speed for men and women, varied from 3.8°C to 9.9°C according to each level of performance (Table S3).

Warmer air temperatures were associated with higher percentages of runners' withdrawal during a race (Figure 4). After testing linear, quadratic, exponential and logarithmic fits, the quadratic equation was the best fit (r2 = 0.36; p<0.0001) for modelling the percentage of runners withdrawals associated with air temperature

Putting it all together

Taken as a whole, the above information suggests that interval workouts at vVO2max and tempo runs at the lactate threshold are both key ingredients in the training programs of competitive distance runners. In designing a training schedule for a particular individual or team, however, the specificity-of-training principle must again be considered. In short, one's key workouts should be tailored somewhat to the pace, distance, and terrain of the race one is training for. For example, workouts at race pace are almost always a good idea regardless of what that pace happens to be, and long runs may be much more important for marathoners than for 5K specialists. Nevertheless, when pondering these important issues, we should not forget what the data tell us: "long" intervals and tempo runs are probably our best training tools for maximizing VO2max, lactate threshold, running economy, and overall fitness.

Quote
t's easier to see how negative feedback can make you worse: "Information indicating that one’s performance is less-than-perfect, or even uncertainty about how one is performing (relative to others) due to lack of information, presumably activates self-regulatory processes in attempts to manage thoughts and affective responses." In other words, you start to overthink things, which gets in the way of smooth motor functioning. But to some extent, these "self-regulatory processes" are always present, so the benefit of positive feedback may be that it allows you turn those processes down a bit. In the context of running (and other physical tasks), the result may be greater motor efficiency: "Changes in energy expenditure are presumably a function of increased movement efficiency associated with greater movement stability, minimized co-contractions, and generally more economical muscle activation patterns."

good stuff!!

http://www.runnersworld.com/marathon/nikes-audacious-plan-break-the-2-hour-marathon-barrier-in-2017

that was a great read! thanks!

If I had to pick someone to do it, it would be Bekele.. The current WR 5k & WR 10k holder, also second fastest marathon ever.. He's probably sponsored by someone else. Of everyone we can think of, I think he is the most capable.

As for those picks, Kipchoge is a beast and Tadesse (like they said) is one of the most beautiful runners i've seen.. similar to Bekele. I watched his half marathon WR, it's insanely fast and he looks like he should be able to put together something much better than 2:10 ... if any1 has the talent of those 3, it's probably Tadesse.. but Kipchoge has the experience/grit it seems. I dno, I don't expect any of those 3 to go sub 2 .. but i'd love to be wrong. Regardless, an interesting project.. It definitely seems like it's on the level of sub-4 minute mile (initially) and sub-10 100m.. it has to be achievable.

Bekele tho...... He might make another crack at it in the next Berlin Marathon.

The pace for sub-2 is unreal. I can't fathom that pace for 26.2 miles.

The adaptation described by this research changes the story significantly, to something more like: "in response to a long-running barrage of unserviceable 'beat faster' signals on the vagus nerve, an insensitivity to these signals developed, resulting in a cardiac system that may respond poorly to requests for increased blood volumes". That's a pretty major shift!

great quick read .. TLDR, no back to back hard days, and on the light day after a hard day, recovery runs are crazy slow ~5 min/km... 20km total that day, 2 x 10 km.

also, kipchoge usually rests 5 days before a marathon.

"slowly by slowly"

Quote
A good day of training was worth little on its own, but a good month was worth plenty. Slowly by slowly, the athlete’s shape came. “Every session is a building block,” Sang said.

Quote
Valentijn Trouw, Kipchoge’s Dutch manager, told me something else interesting: He thought Kipchoge never killed himself in training. The only day on which he would drain every resource he possessed was on race day. “Never 100 percent in any session,”

Quote
“Work hard,” he said. “But not every day.”



the first article, also nice:

https://www.wired.com/2017/01/think-exercise-hard-try-training-like-nike-super-athlete/

Quote
Before a few months ago, Kipchoge had never run on a treadmill, had never undertaken a VO2 max, lactate threshold, or running economy test, and had rarely worn a heart-rate monitor. Kipchoge’s technology-light approach is the norm among East African marathoners, in my experience. When I stayed in Kapng’tuny, where Geoffrey Mutai and the marathon world-record holder Dennis Kimetto trained in a large group without a coach, the program was set by senior athletes, and workouts were meticulously recorded, by hand, in exercise books. Indeed, Kipchoge has a book containing 14 years’ worth of workouts stored this way.

in a nutshell, dude gunned it all by himself.. takes guts. would have been amazing if he didn't blow up. missed a fluid station @ mile 20, so might have had something to do with blowing up.



On a side note, i'd love to see elite marathons where fluids/sugars/salts etc, were banned, unless you are carrying them on you. That'd be cool. It would at least have to be in a decent climate (very cool temps).

https://medium.com/alberto-stretti/coach-canova-my-opinion-about-sondre-moen-in-fukuoka-d4625cfeafa

45km long run, greater than marathon distance. That's not very popular to do among coaches, but to me it makes sense. Get to know the distance first hand, don't run only 20 and hope to put it together for 26.2 on race day, I don't get that approach. I wonder if Parker Stinson ran any long runs at ~26 or more, doubt it. His coach is pretty good too (Hudson), but they seem to stay short of Marathon distance, as most coaches do.

Canova wants to shave off ~2sec per km by next year, that'd put Moen close to 2:04:5X, right up there near the very top, which is 2:03:XX.

Moen has everyone's attention right now, his progress is mind blowing.

Quote
Jordan Hasay Makes a Bold Decision: Be Brave and Race

Defying her coach’s advice, Jordan Hasay made a midrace decision to stay with the leaders at the 2017 Chicago Marathon. And her instincts to do so paid off.

In her second attempt at 26.2, she finished third overall in 2:20:57. She had a two-minute PR, and her time vaulted her to second on the all-time list of American marathon performances.

Early on, she faced a quandary. She could either stick with Tirunesh Dibaba, who has won three Olympic gold medals on the track and has a marathon best of 2:17:56, which is five minutes faster than Hasay’s previous best of 2:23:00.

Or she could hang back off the lead pack, tuck in behind a male runner going at about 2:22 pace, and try running a PR.

Hasay chose the former.

“I think it’s more important to compete,” she said. “I’ve studied the different marathons, and it’s easier, mentally and physically, to be sitting in a pack than it is to run by yourself. I just kept looking at the lead car, and our kilometers were anywhere from 3:15 to 3:20. Our projected time was 2:17 to 2:18, so I just thought, ‘Well, okay!’ ”

She wasn’t scared, even when she went through 10 kilometers in 32:29—faster than she ran the 10,000 meters on the track in 2016 at the Olympic Trials—and halfway in 1:08:50.

Biya Simbassa graduated from the University of Oklahoma before he’d come close to his potential at 10,000 meters. His modest best of 28:42 limited his post-collegiate choices, and the quality of races he could gain entry to. Simbassa joined Team USA Minnesota where he started building his mileage and fitness. Seeking altitude and more training partners, he joined ADP in November 2016. Within seven months, he’d improved by over a minute to 27:45.

Simbassa’s experience highlights a key ingredient in ADP/WCAP’s training success: critical mass. One of the hallmarks of Kenya’s running culture, and a factor in its success, is the sheer number of hopefuls taking part in the Thursday tempo run or Tuesday track session. On any given day on the dirt roads of Kenya, 40, 50, 60 runners show up for workouts. Big names and no names—there’s always someone who will push the pace, always someone faster to chase. There’s motivation to show up and keep up, lots of brethren to share the pain and the victories. At any given time, some will be injured or traveling or taking a break, but there are plenty to take their place.

Quote
He (Paul Chelimo) bristled at the suggestion he was not fully American: “I could have gone to any other country and been rich, but I love America. When I put on that [Army] uniform, I’m ready to die for this country. Many people here are not ready to do that.” He said winning medals for the U.S. motivated his 110-percent effort.

Quote
For example, Simmons pointed out, white South African runners Mark Plaatjes and Colleen De Reuck, who became U.S. citizens, weren’t subjected to the African-born prefix, nor was Alberto Salazar referred to as Cuban-born during his competitive days. But ADP/WCAPers are often qualified in the media as Kenyan-born or African-born.

“I have friends who call it the African Distance Project,” Michael Jordan said. “No one calls Kyle Merber Irish-American but they call me African-American, and my teammates Kenyan-American. You’re in this weird place with this label in front of American, like a subcategory of American. Not fully American.” Jordan said the naturalized Americans in the group feel some pressure to prove their American-ness, and have been criticized, usually anonymously, for speaking Swahili.

^^ yup

Quote
Simmons is a purist. He looks for people who want to run for the love of running, just as he wants to coach for the love of seeing people improve. He said he’s never recruited in his entire career. “If you do a good job, athletes will want to be part of the program. With this group, the opportunity to train with the best is motivation; there’s no need to recruit.”

marathon simulation:

https://blog.fitbit.com/this-marathon-training-workout-gets-you-ready-for-the-full-26-2/

TLDR: 7-12 miles moderate (1 min slower than marathon pace), and then equal that distance at marathon pace. so 7+7, 10+10, or 12+12 etc. Hitting marathon pace on "dead legs".

Quote
You’ve been open about your struggles with weight and the insecurities that come with lining up against women who are often much smaller than yourself. How has this shaped you as a person and a runner? For a long time I was really down on myself and felt insecure for being a ‘bigger runner’. In one race in particular, the winning team won the heaviest person’s weight in beer. I had won the race and set the course record, but was humiliated by having to go on stage and be weighed in cases of beer. A few days later I met with a nutritionist to figure out how I could lose weight.

Hmm.. Just ordered this. Whether it was jumping, running, boxing, lifting, or octet warfare -> I often end up focusing on mental components. This seems like my kind of book :D

"""
A suitably versatile definition that I like, borrowing from researcher Samuele Marcora, is that endurance is “the struggle to continue against a mounting desire to stop.” That’s actually Marcora’s description of “effort” rather than endurance, but it captures both the physical and mental aspects of endurance. What’s crucial is the need to override what your instincts are telling you to do (slow down, back off, give up) and the sense of elapsed time. Taking a punch without flinching requires self-control, but endurance implies something more sustained: holding your finger in the flame long enough to feel the heat; filling the unforgiving minute with 60 seconds’ worth of distance run.

+1 for the importance of the mental part. definitely been feeling that internal dialogue of "well, you know, 11 km is still pretty good, you don't need to go the full 13 km, you're so tired...shut up, just get to 11 and keep going...but like, 12 km would be as long as you ran last weekend...shut up, stay committed to what you set out to do" on the longer runs. intervals and tempo are good for that too but in a different, more aggressive way.

ya. also it's incredible when you notice a "new technique" that your brain tries to deploy in order to get you to quit/ease up. i'm trying to think of one i had fairly recently that was "brand new", remember laughing once I realized it was basically a new attempt at trying to get me to ease up. sh*t can't remember.

I think it's also one of the many reasons we can experience a dip after a major performance/PR/accomplishment. That feeling of accomplishment can make it easier to back off for a while. Sometimes it's needed, but other times it's just another "way out".

One thing I loved saying to myself was "welcome to the party" once I got those quit voices. I haven't been doing it as much lately because i've been mostly running "slower". But when trying to PR <= 5k, especially mile & such, those quit voices become very loud. I picture this little gnome in my head waking up and telling me to stop, so i'd say "welcome to the party" to let myself know, ok now we're just getting started. lol. it helped quite a bit when I was trying to PR my 800m, 1k, and mile last year (~December).

also ya, i literally verbally say "shut up", or "shut the fuck up", or "fuck off" when my brain is annoying me sometimes. it can help. hah.

Nate Jenkins' general fitness/half-marathon plan. Must follow suit in adding more "muscle work" again. Can only help form and hopefully reduce injury proneness. Lessons to be learned even if it takes way more fitness than I have to be able to sustain this much work overall.

damn that's a serious schedule, elite volume/frequency, but ya he is a beast so..

as for the "muscle work", I love getting my bodyweight stuff in. it's definitely not as muscly as we're used to, but I do feel it helps (the single leg abductions/flexions/extensions especially). I'd like to do lunges again but i'd have to do them in a separate session I think. Doing them after I run seemed to inflame my knee & just make me too prone to soreness.

so ya just phase some of that stuff back in slowly if you do, or time it intelligently, ie when you're about to have 2 full days off from running because of schedule etc, then eventually on days where you're going to have one full day of rest before running again etc.

pc!!

kewl. sounds like something one would do naturally if pushing the on paces. ie, i'm sure i've done this exact fartlek before, naturally. seems very natural to me.

Knowing what a Moneghetti is pretty much makes you a hard core running fan, so that just happened.

First in a series of blog posts BY YUKI. The links to the other parts are in the above.

"I’ve always done 4 to 6-hour trail runs, but last summer I started doing a lot more of them. Using the Shin-Etsu Trail I ran longer than 45 km two days in a row and jogged more than 40 km three times in a single week. In the fall I even started doing ultra long-distance jogs on flat ground. In October I ran 100 km mostly along the Tone River from Shibukawa, Gunma to my house in about 7 1/2 hours. Leading up to Fukuoka I did a lot of 50 km jogs which I hadn’t usually done in the past."

oof! And his jogs aren't so slow. 100km in 7.5 hours is 4:30/km or 7:15/mile. I mean slow for him, of course, but I had got the impression from how others were talking about it that these jogs were like 10+/mile

I love how he talks about how he's good in the bad elements (rain/cold etc). I can identify with that. I love rain races. Hopefully if i'm healthy this summer (wasn't last summer), i'll get get some rainy 5k's in. :D

Also:

Quote
There are those who look at that kind of ultra long-distance jogging and say, “Running slowly is meaningless no matter how much you do,” but I think the people who make that kind of criticism have probably never done it themselves. If you actually experience the feeling you get after about three hours, the “I can endure this fatigue in my legs, but if I lose it mentally I’ll immediately want to quit” one that’s similar to the light-headed sensation at the end of the marathon, the numbness of hands and feet and loss of concentration that come after that, the feeling that your stamina is evaporating from the core of your body, and the overpowering sense of euphoria you get after going over the wall, I don’t think you can call it “meaningless.”

The confidence that is built by doing ultra long-distance jogging, the knowledge in the second half when things are getting tough that “I’ve run 50 km and 100 km so I know for sure that my stamina isn’t going to break in the second half. The internationals running next to me haven’t done 100 km so I know that my legs are the ones that are still going to keep moving when things get down and dirty,” has really helped a person like me who tends to get discouraged easily.



This video is great (linked in one of the articles). Look at how bad Yuki is hurting. RUGGED. Matsumura is a beast too, i linked a few of his results in this subforum. Also, 4:38 in, a great lesson in running the tangents (following the shortest path line on the course). Yuki went way off of it, was in the lead, and then 2nd place guy simply saw the line and went to it, and instantly became the leader. If you watch probably ~4:20ish in, it happens around 4:38.

I'm surprised he uses the phrase "armchair theorizing" .. seems like Yuki researches things deeply online..  :ninja:



Quote
Times are something that are dependent on variables like race day weather and the way the race plays out. By doing dozens of marathons I’ve come to understand what those who came before me meant when they said, “More than time, the marathon is about competition.” So when the people backing these fast young guys tell them, “You have to run a good time in your debut,” the runners may be saying “sub-2:10 at a minimum” to try to live up to those expectations, but I think that in saying that they are probably stringing themselves up by the neck. If the goal is ultimately to run 2:05 or 2:06, I think that instead of saying, “Let’s rock the marathon right from the first time,” and jumping in only to die and taste the torments of hell, to suffer injury and trauma that will destroy your self-confidence, saying “Who cares what time you run in your debut? I want to be able to achieve my goal in the end,” and holding back to run at a pace that suits you will let you finish thinking, “Marathons are fun!” and let you run later marathons in a positive state of mind.

Quote
think it’s also important to learn from the Japanese marathoners of the past. It seems like a lot of athletes these days believe too much in the way that the Africans and the Americans do things, but I don’t think that modern athletes who can’t better the times run by past Japanese athletes can rightfully call those past athletes’ training methodologies “outdated.” Needless to say not everything about the way that Japanese athletes trained in the past was correct, but I think there are more hints about how to get better to be found there than by looking at how Africans train.

Quote
Every time I read them I found a number of things that could be helpful, but what I began to feel most strongly was that compared to the greats of the past the amount of “ultra long-distance training” I was doing seemed overwhelmingly insufficient.

Quote
I began to feel that even if I were doing something similar to what Africans do, it would just be a lesser imitation of their approach.

Quote
The surprise I felt at seeing the pre-race breakfast of a Kenyan Olympic medalist in New York and thinking, “They can run 42.195 km on such a small amount [of food]?”

Post by: adarqui on April 21, 2018, 02:01:41 pm
I think there's definitely something to the "slow long jogging" approach. I've benefited from it several times, plus, it helps you stay healthier perhaps. I mean as an example, the tweaks i've had recently, I was able to jog below "tweak threshold" and still maintain/gain fitness. My ULTRA SLOW long running seems to have some serious potential, 15-20 min/mi pace but feeling like you're really running hard/fast -> short GCT, stiff but relaxed contacts, basically hours of single leg alternating pogos.

but ya, i've been slowly trying to bump up my long easy jogs. after my Coral Springs half, I wanted to make all of my easy runs ~1.5 hours. I've basically done that since, and it seems to be creeping up towards 2 hours. I've had thoughts recently of trying to get to 4 hours. I mean, if I can walk for 4-6 hours, I should be able to slow jog just the same.. maybe not the intense pogo style, but something similar to it (just less intense).

ALSO, it must be stated!! This stuff most likely has to happen on soft surfaces, not roads. It has to be dirt/grass/rocks/mulch etc, not concrete/asphalt. This is what allows you to maintain bounce, rather than having the hard surfaces "sap it out of you". Extremely important IMHO.

damn forgot to check that ^^ will do now.

also, crazy stuff with Ryan Shay's death, myocarditis, caused by a virus: (happened in like 2008)

"When you look at those muscle cells, you don't see normal, neatly stacked cells like the bricks in a brick wall. Instead, you see swirling, disoriented cells. This sounds more like viral myocarditis resulting from scars that were left by a virus. What happens is, the heart sends out a typical electrical impulse, but it hits scar tissue and then circles around or bounces back through the heart, which we call 'circus arrhythmia.' If this develops into a ventricular arrhythmia, it's very dangerous, and can cause sudden death."

true. i remember back in college reading a blog entry from one of the all-time great college ultimate players, josh ziperstein. (he was an elite club player too but then he became a doctor and stopped playing.) it was a list of tips for his teammates and included a lot of good advice (e.g. when flying to a tournament, get up and walk around the cabin at least once an hour and while you're up drink a cup of water.) but the thing that stuck with me the most was, to paraphrase, never give up on a rep. if you're running 40s or cone drills or 400s or whatever, finish hard, because ingraining that mentality in practice makes it easier to run through in games without having to think about it.

yup definitely. i've given up in workouts/finished weak etc, and you can definitely feel the effect it has on you. makes it easier to do when it matters, 100%.

one thing i'm slightly proud about, is how i've finished every race, never once stopped running. i'd stop if i was injured, but i haven't stopped when i've done some pretty epic blow ups. I just keep running, somehow. I make sure to do that though.. I feel like if I stopped to walk etc, that could have some very bad consequences down the line. Though, i'd sometimes like to be able to push myself to the point that I absolutely have to walk - ie if i'm just trying to keep up with much faster people and i want to do it for as long as physically possible. In that scenario, I don't think stopping to walk etc would be much of a problem.

The pre-race meal

Most Kenyan athletes choose to race and train on a fairly empty stomach. Often first thing in the morning with just a few sips of water. Mary Keitany told us her go to breakfast the morning of a marathon is a cup of chai tea and a chapatti – nothing complicated. It’s what her body is used to and she knows it works, so why change it on race day? This is the same for most of the runners in Iten; a simple breakfast, nothing that will upset the stomach or feel too heavy. With a good meal of ugali and beans the night before they will have plenty of fuel for the race ahead.

interesting what Stinson says about Brad.. that's actually why i stopped following Brad on IG etc. he went from being someone who coached a large group, to just Allie's coach.. seemed to just ditch his group that he'd been coaching for so long. seemed foul.

Quote
Stinson, 26, had been working with Hudson in Boulder since 2016, but heading into Chicago, he felt it might be time for a change as Hudson increasingly shifted his focus toward Allie Kieffer, the 2:28 marathoner who has finished 5th and 7th at the last two New York City Marathons.

“It was just a small group and I thought it was great and I thought everything was going well,” Stinson says. “But at some point, Brad, he just wasn’t excited about our group anymore and he was really excited about Allie. And if that’s what he wants to do, if that’s what makes him excited, I can’t blame him. But basically when I moved out there, it was to create a group, it was to be part of a group. And then in the last six months, four months, that’s not where his focus was.”
