that is all super helpful, yes. thank you.

cool np!

when you say "controlled tempo" do you mean like on a count? for example 2:1:2 eccentric:bottom:concentric? or do you just mean under control and for volume. i remember you doing hundreds of lunges in a row back in the day, do you think that built strength?

ya just under control for volume. I definitely think those lunges were capable of putting some mass on & improving strength, my legs were ridiculously swole after every session. I remember them being particularly snappy after I recovered from those sessions. AND I remember just out of nowhere, wanting to jump off one leg. I remember attributing that sensation of wanting to SLRVJ at the time, to those high volume walking lunges.

I started to get into them again a few months ago but they made me sore for 7+ days... hehe. My body just hates sustained tension right now and I don't even feel like doing it. I do think about incorporating them eventually but, i'll wait a little longer before I re-consider experimenting with that.

so ya I definitely found them very effective at giving my legs alot of "pop" and making them feel crazy strong.

one thing i love about the rower is that it's so easily measurable. still kind of not sure what kind of goals i could set for calisthenics. although i just remembered that gymnastics are a thing, so i could have goals be around doing a handstand, doing a planche, doing flat-footed pistols, etc. jump rope goals are easy: build up to 10 minutes continuous, then 20, then 30. build up to 50 double unders, then 100, then 200. learn criss-cross double unders, then create a jump rope kata and improve time (e.g. 100 skips, 20 double unders, 100 skips, 20 criss-cross single-unders, 100 skips, 20 double unders, 100 skips, 10 criss-cross double-unders, 100 skips).

ya the jump rope stuff is easy and very fun.. for calisthenics I think the measureables are like you said -> mastering new/more difficult positions and sets/reps. I personally don't like turning that stuff into a "cardio style workout" like I mentioned above.. If we are able to focus more on each movement and recover properly, calisthenics can be a great strength training tool.

gonna go do warm up + reactive + strength now.

kewl!

crazy for ~13:00 5k.. look how fast those predictions are for the shorter distances too. flying. 

Yup, we don't realize how fast those guys are. Not endurance fast, fucking short distance sprint fast.
13m 5k  is 50 consecutive 15.5s 100m.

50.
consecutive.
15.5s.
100m.
sprints.
no.rest.
not.a.breath.
just.run.them
consecutive.
50.
fifty.

ya man.. it's absolutely mind blowing, that kind of speed at so many different distances.

i'm in awe of these dudes.. insane athleticism.

ya that trophy is dope.. still happy about it :F

Bio: Morning

last night's sleep: ~9 hours
last night fell asleep: ~11 PM
wakeup = 8 AM
bw = 149 lb.
morning resting heart rate = didn't measure
soreness = none
aches = none
injuries = 2 toenails black
standing desk (when on computer): not much
feel = decent
water = alot
mosquito bites: 0



Food

8 AM

- banana
- plain english muffin



Session: Morning

9 AM
- shoes: nb 5000v2
- didn't push it HARD

warmup: felt pretty good
- easily hitting 5:30-5:45 min/mi pace

run: 2.01 mi in 12:09
- splits: 5:49, 6:11
- should have been to sub 6's, know where i messed up in the 2nd mile, feh.
- tried to stay relaxed and still get two sub 6's

I love the speed breakdown graph from stravistix:




finisher: 4 x ~210m
- only the last one was ~80% or so of a sprint:
- last one: 33s
- max speed: 15.7 mph
- going to extend out my speed work finishers to ~210m instead of ~100m.. This way I can keep pushing my finishing speed work until I can hit "easy 60s 400's" .. need to get back over 16 mph next time though .. i don't care if i build up or what, but need to keep getting over 16 mph and eventually hitting "easy 17 mph".. etc.

a ~60s 400 needs to be easy for me.. Right now, it definitely isn't. BUT IT NEEDS TO BE. 






Food

10 AM

- 2% milk
- banana



Food

12 PM

- 6 x eggs + english muffin + asiago cheese
- lots of watermelon
- sweet green tea



Food

2 PM

- 4 x bananas
- 2% milk



Session: Stretching

4:30 PM

- stretched quads while at the grocery store (waiting for a sub, waiting in line to check out, etc) .. actually got a bunch of stretching in.. haha



Food

5 PM

- watermelon juice



Session: Evening

7 PM

speed work: fartlek style with jog back recovery
- I tried to PR 800m & 1KM while running my ~1170m distance.. fail by ~1-2s
- ^^ if I try to PR 800m and 1KM separately, which I will try to do soon, I will definitely get it (if I feel like I did tonight)
- i'm just holding back too much because of the extra distance, which adds time.. if I sprinted 800m/1km out at the end, i'd get it.
- most notable: 0.73 mi (1174m) => 3:42 (5:05 min/mi pace)
- also had a ~400m in 1:10



good stuff ^^



Food

8 PM

- 2% milk
- banana



Food

- huge spinach salad: 9 oz spinach, lemon, olive oil, mixed nuts, asiago cheese, stacy's pita chips, 1 avacado
- soooo good.



Session: Stretching

10:30 PM

- hips were feeling very tight.. stretched quads hard, and they feel alot better now
- also stretched hamstrings

---

note to self:
- updating through the day.
- consistency consistency .. consistency.
- stop being a pussy.
- forget about what you did earlier, the day before, the week before, the year before .. focus only on the current session

goals:
- wakeup @ 5 AM
- improve:
-- 100m
-- 200m
-- 400m
-- 1 KM
-- 12 minute test
-- 5 KM
-- L-SLRVJ
-- half squat, half RDL, calf raises, BW upper

potential run protocols:
- always warmup great
- very light stretching before
- light stretching after
- paced runs: pick a pace and hold it 100%
- hold-on-for-dear-life: pick a pace, try and maintain pace for as long as possible -> measure distance maintained
- 12-minute test
- 200, 400m, 1km, 1 mile repeats
- from salazar workouts slide:
-- 6 x mile repeats with 400m jog recovery
-- 20 x 200m, with or without jog recovery
-- 8-12 x 400m, with x-second (~60s) standing recovery

training:
- finish 5k sessions with some ~150-200m max sprints

5k:
- make miles 1 & 2 the same, instead of 2 & 3
- maximally sprint (~160m) at the end of every 5k (from 3.0 to 3.1) -> need to teach myself to always tap into every last MU

markers:
- repeatable 1m:15s 400m's with ~1 minute rest in between
- max 400 under 60s

future contests:
- 10/09/2016: would need to run ~18:30 5k to win
- 11/24/2016: would need to run ~16:30 5k to win
- 12/14/2016: would need to run ~4:40 mile (holiday 1-mile race) to win

cues:
- POSTURE! RUN TALL!
- SHORT GCT
- WHEN TIRED, SHORT GCT + GET STRIDE FREQ BACK ON TRACK
- HOLD HANDS PROPERLY - RELAXED
- STAY RELAXED

warning:
- ALWAYS WARMUP PROPERLY
- DO NOT OVERSTRETCH
- GET ENOUGH SLEEP

weird:
- CREATE IMAGINARY RUNNING FRIENDS & RUN WITH THEM

how come?
- HOW COME I CAN'T ADD ~20m A WEEK TO MY ~13+ MPH PACE?? :f

pre-run meals:
-
theories:
- Think "run beautiful" not "run hard"
-- ^^ has alot to do with how I strike the ground, breathe, don't tighten up, etc
- Really big gulping inhalations through the mouth, prior to a run, could help to get the lungs to wake up.
- Static (short-holds - 5-10s) stretching before running to help me relax, feel loose
- Less (good) fat / More carb = winning
