03/20/2019

good sign that my hamstring held up. felt it barely a few times throughout the day afterwards. hopefully this just triggers some extra strength/healing for saturday. still have no idea how i'm going to run a hard half on saturday.. i mean if it doesnt bug me i should be able to. if it bugs me i'll have to trot it out.

03/18/2018
- morning: felt great
- evening: DOMS / calves (gastrocs) very sore

09:00 AM: very light progression: 30min ::: (dirt, felt great, hamstring improving)

- soreness: calves improving but still sore
- rained all day too. made it easy to rest.

rest

feel so good today.. no sign of injury. that's most likely not the case, but the illusion of feeling healthy, is great.

turn sound on if you want to hear how fast my speed rope spins.. it's crazy.



after my 2 hour jump rope session, other than right ankle being a little achy felt amazing all day. got sunburned tho.

03/17/2018
- lots of icing, hamstring/glute and back.


diet:
- ate light but good
- a whole half gallon of grape fruit juice after the jump rope session....... HEH

10:55 AM: speed rope: 2hr ::: 120 min x ~140 SPM = ~17,000 turns /// last 20 minutes was brutal

- longest i've ever jump roped! (+30min?)

zion is nuts to be playing right now IMHO. and i say that as a duke fan.

ya. he's just a competitor. nothing going to stop him from playing. not even the idea of risking serious knee injury without making his 20+ million yet. kid is a monster.

what's more interesting is how Coach K is playing him all of those minutes... kid just came off a serious MCL sprain and he's playing every minute in the ACC tournament...... college sports is a wreck.

IMHO, it's up to Duke & Coach K to be the smart people here, and potentially risk losing the ACC title in order to get Zion even healthier. That's where is breaks down to me. It's like boxers and their trainers. Trainers have to know when to throw in the towel, real boxers are going to fight to the death. Zion is worried about letting his teammates/fans down etc. Duke/Coach K needs to override that if there's any signs of him being less than 100%.

Zion looked great but sometimes he did look like his knee was aching him.

pc!

Not sure what happened but my knee has felt off yesterday and today. I dont know the language to describe it exactly but if i do the following:

1 stand up straight
2. raise my knee slightly
3. raise my foot up towards my butt
4. straighten my leg

and something gets stuck in the knee

damn dude. hope it's nothing.

such a horrible missed call to end the Florida/Auburn game..

6s left - UF down 3. missed freethrow by UAB, UAB wants to foul. UF gets it passed half court. UAB *rakes* the UF guy as he's chucking up a three.. DELIBERATE FOUL. Trying to foul him on the floor but he got the shot up with someone raking his arms. No whistle at all.

that's some bad reffing.

diamond league drops 5k & 10k from their comps.. :/

i imagine i'll figure out how to overdo it tho.

no doubt. why do we do that? i figured out how to overdo carefully and gradually adding weekly mileage: go for a hike! smh.

a few theories:
1. we get obsessed with things that aren't "natural" (like most athletic obsessed humans)
2. our bodies are more brittle than our brains
3. regardless of what it is, we slowly drift towards "excess"

tbh i think it has to do more with #1.

humans do weird stuff.

i mean training for vert is pretty ridiculous.. what we want, we cannot have, unless we work really hard/smart for it - for a very long time, then we can potentially get a small taste of victory.. then it could be gone in an instant. and throughout that process, there's a high probability of substantial ups & downs, especially due to injury. i think that's just "normal" when things don't make sense. lots of people don't get hurt who just train very "gentle" lol. but they also don't usually make massive transformations in performance - but they are fine with that. so that's cool.

that's one of the problems of having "lofty" athleticism goals.

tbh i'm fine with just running to enjoy it. it'd suck if i couldn't race, but i'd hate to not be able to run slow. this is a major shift from how my basketball/boxing/dunk obsessed days were. i think that's mental progress finally.

it's why i can back off much more easily now when i tweak shit/feel stuff coming on etc. but even with that, racing makes me run harder than i should, which can lead to breakdown.

and now i'm doing crazy high volume lunge shit again, wrecking my glutes/ischial tuberosity's. lmfao.
