Pakistan has a small team but already won a medal: bronze in men's 62kg weightlifting. Dude snatched 132kg, which is extremely legit.
Their lone female track athlete's bio blurb includes this: "Selected by her teacher for athletics competitions because of her height. When she told her teacher she did not want to try athletics, she was told that if she did not, she would be kicked out of school." Cool, cool, cool.
Their lone male track athlete is a javelin thrower.
Two athletics competitors from a country of 200+ million is pretty sad. They really only care about cricket here.

- run 7.62 km, strides 6 x 20s w/60s walking rest
first 4 km with gf, faster than the last couple times out and negative splits [5:21, 5:19, 5:17, 5:11]. proud of her, she complained a bit early on that her legs were dead but she stuck it out. picked it up a little for the last 3.6 [4:59, 4:57, 5:00] before starting the strides.
- stretch
total distance 8.91 km, total time 47:04.
focused on relaxing and keeping my hips/COG forward of my feet and relaxing into each stride. calves a little sore but didn't bother me once i started running. no cramps now. yay.
total distance for the last seven days is 44.6, which is a PR.

yeah that resonates. i've been trying a bit to run with center of gravity forward, letting feet cycle with quiet steps, those kinds of cues. trying to run without brakes is a good cue.

- run 8.35 km in 42:30
5:05 pace. takes concentration to run that slow, natural desire is to go faster. calves cramping a little bit now post-run. gonna slow down as it gets hotter.
- stretch
also foam rolled calves a bit.

right, opposite of what joe said. lol. but then i wonder how you'd run if you lived in an actually hilly area. or what your pace actually looks like when you attack hills relative to flat pace. like it may be that attacking the hills still means slowing down below the overall target pace. especially when i'm dealing with hills that are particularly long or steep. well, i'll play around with both and see what feels right.
thanks.
thanks.

« on: April 03, 2018, 10:09:11 am »Matching effort rather than pace for the different graded sections seems like a reasonable thing to do.
well now that you put it that way it seems obvious. good point.

- run 3 km warm up
- intervals 500m x [1:51, 1:55, 1:59, 1:59, 1:58] w/90s rest
supposed to be 8 but i was dying on the last one. shut it down, build fitness patiently, do not injure self.
- run 2.3 km cool down
- stretch
total distance 8.74 km, total time 43:34
hills make it harder. i tried to keep pace even on the ups and downs but beginning to think i should sell out a little more on downhills and be a little more patient on uphills. it's easy to sail downhill in <3:30 but even a moderately steep uphill at <4:00 is taxing. probably better as a race strategy anyway.
adarq, thoughts on that? you live in the flatlands but i'm curious. joe, too.

- run 6.67 km in 36:00
first ~4 km with gf again. a little quicker than yesterday but not much. picked up the pace a bit for the last ~700m, below 4:05, just for funsies.
- a little core and push/pull stuff
just to start doing it again
- stretch
feel nice. hungry now.
