Today: ankle rehab, trap bar DL, BSS, jump rope, metcon/core Friday: rest Saturday: ankle rehab, bench, BOR, jump rope, metcon/core; practice Sunday: rest Monday: test SVJ, DLRVJ, 20yd and 40yd dash, trap bar DL, bench Tuesday: rest Wednesday: beep test, max pullups, max inv rows in 60s, max pushups in 60s
Between now and then, I need to get my hands on a beep test (someone at my gym has it) and figure out how I'm going to time the dashes. If I can't do the beep test, I'm going to do a 2000m rowing test. Fast as possible. Either way, it will suck.
bw = 160 soreness = none aches/injuries = feel good

"The scientists set up a high speed camera...at the 15km mark of the race, and captured most of the runners coming through. In total, they were able to observe the foot strike of 248 men and 35 women, and characterize them...
...the finding is the following:
* The vast majority (75%) of the elite runners land on the heel"
In short, as many people in the barefooting movement are smug morons as in Paleo or Crossfit. Not to denigrate barefoot running by comparing it to the latter two, and I believe in barefoot running in principle. But the point stands that it's a movement and therefore many of its most enthusiastic supporters are just zealots.
right, well as far as landing on the heel goes, i guess it can be classified a few different ways.. most of those guys who do 'land on heel' aren't applying much force in that position, it seems as if they are just grazing the heel on the ground and impacting more on mid foot.
edit: i can't imagine forefoot running a marathon, thats insane that some people can do that..
