well this sucks..

wanted to PR my 5k tonight.. so, everything starts out great, really breathing hard but also running fast.

around mile 2, I start feeling a cramp. boom hunched over dead @ 2.5 mi .. look at my watch, 15min.

first mile was 5:55 min/mi  :personal-record:, second was 6:24, third was 6:25 (couldn't push the second half mile) .. PR'd 5k (19:18) but, after that 2.5 I stopped/paused watch 3 times while I stopped, trying to get the cramp to subside.. so doesn't really count.

bleh!

adarq if you run 1:05 half then you qualify for the next olympic trials. just sayin.

http://fittish.deadspin.com/olympic-marathon-trials-the-victory-lap-for-pretty-dar-1755043759

nice :F

I have to shave 30 minutes off of my hard-training run pace in order to qualify, sounds hard. :) That means i'd have to bring my 7:15 min/mi pace for 13 miles down to 4:57 min/mi.  :o

http://www.walkjogrun.net/training/marathon-pace-calculator.cfm?distance=13.1&distanceunit=m&duration=1%3A05%3A00

I could go transgender and try to qualify for the women's with sub 1:15.



My big goal for half-marathon distance is sub 1:20:00 .. 1:19:59.

I'm definitely excited to see where I am ~6 months from now.. my weekly mileage is finally going up to something reasonable.. getting close to ~70 mi/wk.

January basically looks like this:
- wk1: 36 mi
- wk2: 48 mi
- wk3: 54 mi
- wk4: 65 mi

^^ also not measured, progressively getting my guts back. Each week i've had more guts than the previous, good sign.



I definitely need to keep the mileage up near 70. Also need to make sure I push myself somewhat on all of those runs, even if it's a short sprint mixed in. My power sucks right now.

pc man!

Boxing / Re: 01/30/2016: Kovalev vs Pascal II
« on: January 31, 2016, 06:44:14 pm »
kovalev has a very effective jab he is able to get through his guard just good and they are powerful as well, jean tried to time it and sometimes he was in countering good but kovalev changed his gameplan and avoided the counter's and just too much damage for pascal to take.

ya, kovalev even knocked him down with a jab.



Quote
i don't know why they did rematch

because pascal won that BAD DECISION over Yunieski Gonzalez. It was a robbery. If Gonzalez had won that fight, he would have been the one fighting Kovalev. He needs a shot at Kovalev regardless, he's a decent LHW. I remember someone on his team put their life savings on the line for that fight (for Gonzalez) vs Pascal... so when the robbery happened, Gonzalez was so shocked and crying (I think). There was so much more on the line for him than just the win or loss. A few people who had been backing him put their life savings behind him.

total destruction.. pascal was trying to box and move, but got caught somewhere in the early rounds that looked to break his nose. kovalev just punished him for fun, he's a psycho in the ring.

Boxing / 01/30/2016: Kovalev vs Pascal II
« on: January 30, 2016, 06:26:23 pm »
hbo, 9:45 PM ET!

first fight was very good.. don't see how it'll be any different. hope pascal can make it just as entertaining, if not more. pascal is kind of pissed, he's playing a racism angle.. calls kovalev a racist etc.. don't see how that is going to help pascal though, if anything it'll make him too emotional and he'll get caught easier.. he doesn't have the chin to take kovalev's shots. he needs to not get hit, hehe.

quick journaling

01/29/2016

sleep = 9 hr
wakeup = 10 AM
bw = 156 lb.
morning resting heart rate = didn't measure
soreness = calves slightly
aches = right knee slightly, right hip slightly (or more) when I stretch, left first metatarsal achy/painful at times (where i felt the tight shoe lace yesterday)

feel = good



Food

10:30 AM

- 1 x grape fruit juice
- 1 x greek yogurt
- 1/2 bagel with peanut butter



Session: Mobility

12:30 - 1:30 PM

lower body stretching & mobility
- lots of stuff
- right hip hurts, especially when i do split stretch or hip/glute stretches, bleh.. hate this feeling



Food

2 PM

- 1 x beet berry juice
- 1 x greek yogurt



Session: Evening

6:30 PM - 8 PM
- cold

run:
- 13.25 mi in 1h:36m:39s
- pace: 7:18 min/mi
- speed: 8.2 mph
- calories: 1624
- ipod: crypto-gram

splits:
- half marathon: 1h:36:something
- miles 1,2,3: 6:47, 6:47, 6:55
- miles 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,rest: 7:19, 7:21, 7:01, 7:39, 7:20, 7:47, 7:36, 7:25, 7:30, 7:23, ~7:19
- pretty consistent.. felt like I held the same exact pace for the majority of the run, that's why it's interesting how my 6+'s feel the same (or slower) than some of my 7+'s.
- at least I didn't have an 8 min/mi split.. was aiming for that.

felt some pain on occasion in that 1st metatarsal area on my left foot.

picked two areas out of the ~3 mi laps, ~200m and ~400m to run fast.. so 4 laps, with 2 sections per.. so 8 bits of speed work mixed in.

felt good, pushed it but could have pushed more.. actually wanted to PR might half marathon running at this pace but turned out I was 1 minute too slow. I didn't look at my watch any, which felt good.

form felt better than some of my recent runs.

« on: January 29, 2016, 01:18:45 pm »
just a thought, maybe he had a fluke moment..I had some insane jumps when i am super relaxed, like 5-10inches more than normal jump due to being unnaturally calm for no cause

5-10 inches???  :o

I've had that with ~2-3 inches but a 10 inch increase out of the blue from being relaxed.



I'm not attcking you BMully, everyone is different and i just felt like posting the pic  :P

i don't lie, i got super relaxed in a game and almost dunked with 2 hands, head was heigh as hell, this was 8th grade

Yes yes. And I won Mr Olympia. It was just a fluke. Im back to fat now again.

that is a physical change, not possible to do just like that..in times of extreme pressure or extreme relaxation, people can get super human abilities..that is how i grabbed rim as 13year old who could only normally get half way up, this one jump i got rim, then it took a while before i got it legit everytime...the cns is responsible for strength and power, we develope it to allow more, but it is always capable of that power

ya bmully is definitely right about a substantial performance increase, verkhoshansky referred to it as the 'innate (protected) reserves'.. in which access to that strength/force output is restricted, but through years of proper/aggressive training, athletes can keep improving how much they can tap into it at their own will.. i mean, i remember i was jumping shitty say 5 months ago, then that cop pulls me over, and i jumped like 3" higher after alot of fatigue, that wasn't even life or death, but that small adrenaline response/heightened cns arousal lead to some gains..

level-7 = PR city.


True. But claiming a 10" sudden increase is idiotic. Thats like when Rip claimed that crazy crazy sprint time because he saw a spider or something like that. Actually I dont remember if it was Rip, but someone did claim to run a crazy time, faster than world record speed.


btw yes, that was rip that ran a WR after having a spider on him :D

Hehe. I thought I remembered it. :highfive:

Yes, athletic improvement can increase during certain circumstances we all know (Lev 7 MANG). Yes 10 inch vert increase suddenly is about as likely a sudden 100lbs improvement in the bench. And yes this is a long quote, quote, quote, quote, quote. And we all know that rip pr'd becuase that spider was a super duper mega jumping spider, and when in landed on rip, some of the exlposive and elastic qualities of its legs were temporarily fused with rip's Bi-legged frame.



show me the video of ripp doing a wr in 100m after a spider jumped on him

No vid. Only story.

correction, "No vid. Only true story."

Can I quote again? Looks like fun.

Was it fun?

It definitely was, it's like the LEVEL-7 quote training.

This thread is epic. I only pr when running after the bus

I PR when on massive amounts of caffeine & when my legs feel light.

I tend to jump best when a smoking hot bitch will give me something as a result of great dunking ability.

I know, but doesn't that apply to anybody that's heterosexual?

i jump REALLY good when hot chix are around.. i say to myself, "land this dunk and they will leave their pathetic boyfriends for me".

Why would you want a girl that has pathetic boyfriends? Or is this the kind of girl that looks the best?

well, their boyfriends might not actually be pathetic, that's just my perception of them because the sexy female is not with me. They are probably very successful, nice, charitable, respectful human beings, what do i kno.



I doubt they are. From what I know about women, which is very little, they all like guys who beat them and love other women, so these women can cry and think about how great it would be if the guys wouldn't do all these things. :(

possibly, but that illustrates our differing views, you, the pessimist, me, the optimist.

:P

So you're optimistic about your chances to :P a woman?

17 DOLLARS !!!

( only www.verydemotivational.com followers will get this joke but it's 1000% relevant! )


this is my favorite

Hence we can now conclude that the conservation of angular momentum and its vector quantities contribute to the degree of arousal in the average athlete in regards to vertical displacement when performing a veritcal jump, off the running or counter-movement sort.



I thought that was obvious? clearly this convo has all that crap you made up





hahaha! nice pic

Can we continue this thread? #pls



yup.
