It seems marquez maybe softening his stance against fighting manny pacquioa for the fifth time.
There are rumours that maybe he will be willing to fight pacquiao again for $30 million, which is a lot, but will it be a good fight, I don't really know as marquez is 40 i think and pacquiao will accept it to get revenge but will it be a good fight for the fans.
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To study physiological changes caused by long term endurance training in a world class female distance runner, and to compare these changes with alterations in 3000 m running performance. METHODS: The subject underwent regular physiological assessment during the period 1991-1995. Physiological measures made included body composition, maximal oxygen uptake (VO2MAX), running economy, and lactate threshold. In addition, the running speed at VO2MAX was estimated. Test protocols, laboratory equipment, and laboratory techniques used were the same for each test session. RESULTS: The 3000 m race performance improved by 8% from 1991 to 1993 after which it stabilised. In contrast, VO2MAX fell from 1991 (73 ml/kg/min) to 1993 (66 ml/kg/min). Submaximal physiological variables such as lactate threshold (from 15.0 to 18.0 km/h) and running economy (from 53 ml/kg/min to 48 ml/kg/min at 16.0 km/h) improved over the course of the study. Despite no increase in VO2MAX, the reduction in the oxygen cost of submaximal running caused the estimated running speed at VO2MAX to increase from 19.0 km/h in 1991 to 20.4 km/h in 1995. CONCLUSIONS: Improvement in 3000 m running performance was not caused by an increase in VO2MAX. Rather, the extensive training programme adopted, together perhaps with physical maturation, resulted in improvements in submaximal fitness factors such as running economy and lactate threshold. These adaptations improved the running speed estimated to be associated with VO2MAX, and resulted in improved 3000 m running performance.
That's a great idea to metronome your cadence.
I've heard cadence is everything when it comes to running.
So over the last month and especially last week I've pretty much reached an all time low regarding poor lifestyle choices. Smoking weed 3x day, eating extremely shitty, working out very little and not lifting at all, spending my time couch-glued to the internet/watching tv series, not progressing on artwork, barely socializing. But I'm turning/gonna turn it all around because I have in the past. This is gonna be my best athletic year ever, by far.
Stay off road
“Pavement damages joints, tendons, ligaments and muscles. The more you can run on grass, woodchips or dirt, the better off you are. My athletes run 90 percent of their workouts on soft surfaces.”
Kit: Compression socks
“My calves get quite tight, so if you’re doing a lot of miles they can help.” According to a 2007 study in the Journal of Sports Sciences, wearing the socks during a 10K road run appeared to reduce delayed-onset muscle soreness
