he squats 2.67x his bodyweight if those numbers are accurate. that's a big squat. but squatting /= speed.

- run 8.72 9.5 km in 48:24
weirdly, google maps calculates the distance as more like 9.5 km. i actually do think the watch is goofy sometimes, my pace was pretty consistent throughout but it booked me at 6:51 and 7:08 pace for the third and fourth kilometer, which is slower than i ever ran even when i was first starting out. rest ranged from 4:48-5:14, and a distance of 9.5 would put average pace at around 5:04, which makes much more sense.

oh. gosh forkin' darn it.

EDIT 2: put estimated actual distance in. gonna start verifying runs against google maps when they feel off.

My waking HR was 109. It's been high since weds night. Im going to go see a doctor

Good idea mate. Best to get it checked. What's your resting HR?

it's between 50 and 70 now. but long story short i had to go to hospital (gp send me there) b/c there was a problem with my heart shown on the ECG, showed a flutter pattern. GP called me an ambulance and i spent a night at the hospital. Magically my heart went into sinus in the morning and they discharged me that day. Im on beta blockers and blood thinners now so i cant play contact sport anymore. No basketball for 5 months. Cardiologist wants to do an ablation. Im not sure i want that but he knows better i guess. so idk. never had surgery before.. bit scary.

glad you went to the doctor, man. my uncle died suddenly of an undiagnosed heart condition at 31-32 years old, when i was a baby. scary shit. take care.

yeah the elbow has to be straight by rule. but man they still manage to get into some weird positions. for example:

Yeah he's a very impressive athlete. I find it interesting how much of the shot performance correlates with lower body jumping power.  I know a guy that trains cricket bowlers in pretty much the same fashion with great success.

oh interesting, i'm actually curious to hear more about that. the motion for bowlers seems even more unnatural than for baseball pitchers, especially spin bowlers who sometimes contort their shoulders in super goofy-looking ways.

incidentally, the fastest bowler ever lives near me. i've met him, he's a hilarious character. lotta 'roids in his training history.

^^^ sage words.

- run 7.36 km in 36:26
felt glacial but actually pace was 4:56, so at least i was under 5:00. knees a little achey for the first km but i think that's just because it's morning. soleus a little tight at the end.

- stretch

much gold in there.

incidentally, i remember watching some of the videos of werner gunthor's training years ago. just went back and found them again. they're fun to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4e5cuyqjqw

agreed on all points.

legs still killing me last night, took it as a sign that i should rest. so i did. slept well, too: first time waking before alarm in a while. good.
