meant to comment on this a few days ago:

great work! interesting how you basically decided to quit @ 7.5 km then somehow at 7 km everything clicked, especially with the fastest km being the final one. wonder if that becomes a lesson learned, ie if your brain will handle those moments differently next time. i mean you went out at a pace you can definitely handle, but your mind knows how long you'll be running, so it starts trying to make "deals" with you to cut it early etc. i laugh sometimes at that (when i'm running), no deal making hah .. (unless there's an issue)

pc!

Yes, it is a lot about mind game. So for this session, i was going comfortable but for 10K, not for whatever. Mind knew i was out for 10K so it kept buffering. And then when i felt like quitting ( around 6km ) , i knew i had 3-4km more, if i was out for 8km i wouldn't want to quit. Funny.

7 October 2018

Went out for a run. Plan was 2km easy hog warmup - 2km time trial - 2km easy jog cooldown.
However my timing went wrong, it was just 2 hours after a massive consumption of  foold alcohol and cigar smoke.
Super fail. The easy warmup jog first 2km were at 7'10'' km pace and they were somewhat tiring too. 2km time trial started fast but i went too fast, almost tied my 1km PR ( 4'57'' vs 4'55'' ) , gassed out at around 1200m , quit at 1500m. Walked a bit to catch my breath and not puke, then light-jogged the rest till 5K and called it a day.
Total : 5km @ 33'05''

My get-ready plan for the saturday race is this:

Sunday : 2km time trial
Monday : weights ( but deloaded, no high rep squat finisher )
Tueday : 3km time trial
Wednesday : 4km time trial
Thursday : full court bball
Friday : rest

Does this sound good? Maybe skip the 4km time trial and do it a long LISS/recovery run on Wednesday since Thursday's bball is also high intensity?

### end of multi-post ###

^^ turned out good with the 3km. I personally don't like to do near-race-distance time trials before a race, unless it's a mile or below. 5km and above is just so long to be time trialing close to the race. so what you did turned out pretty good.

also, always good to tie a shorter distance PR as part of a much larger distance.

great work!

and ya, just try and not crush yourself tomorrow during basketball. fuel up good after basketball on thursday (post activity carb up here IMHO), then eat normal on friday.

then for saturday, get there 45-60 minutes early at least .. enjoy the atmosphere while warming up light (for 15-20 minutes or so (stay really loose), finishing with a few strides at goal pace), then relax (walking/calming down) for ~10 minutes before the race. I personally like to relax for 10 minutes, but i often get to races too late and relax for 5 minutes instead. I always relax for at least 5 minutes before a race (ideal = 10). my warmups are very slow (9-10 min/mi for me). i just throw in progressively more intense strides until i'm at goal pace or faster. strides being just ~15s of effort. i get lots of rest in between each stride. goal is to just progressively wake up the aerobic system/cns etc, without causing any fatigue. one funny thing is, no matter how "slow" you feel during warmups, it all changes once the race starts. i've gone into races barely getting under 6 min/mi for strides, feeling so crappy, then the race starts and I hit 5:4X avg for 5k etc. just nutty what the race itself can do for performance.

(edit: i don't get to evening races late.. love evening races, those are my favorite)

you'll probably feel alot faster than normal, especially when the race starts. try to stick to the plan instead of going with it - you can go with it in other races. if you still feel faster/strong, maybe push the last 1km harder than you planned. get another 1km pr

peace!!

speed day.

right soleus felt great after that deep tissue work with the iron duck. who knows, could just be a fluke.

Quick update

Regionals went fine we broke seed by 1. I played pretty average.

2nd week of hypertrophy atm. All my muscle is slooow twitch af, so athletic qualities are low. Moving up, currently at a comfy 195lbs. Gonna try to ease into strength in week 4, then triphasic and conditioning cycles.

Hit 335 *5 on my quad day, pr tie. Amazing given how slow everything is. The glutes are a lot more slow twitch oriented i believe so glute dominant squatting is better for grinding reps.

nice @ update.

not sure how you are slow twitch af tho.. hit a solid RVJ PR not too long ago & have some solid speed.

and ya iirc glute maximus is ~70% "slow", ~30% fast. they grow pretty quick though with fast twitch work / hypertrophy TUT.

Hmm yeah maybe glutes will be more responsive to higher volume. I also realized i bounce the weight sometimes for stuff like bench, pullups and deads so i should focus on hitting that eccentric.

i loved the super slow work, pin stuff, controlled eccentrics etc. fast EIC is ok but we get enough of that with jumping/sprinting/sport etc. controlled eccentric, fast iso/concentric is alot more beneficial imho. controlled lifting seemed more beneficial to me in general, I got off the REA squat bandwagon pretty quick, also don't like jump squats etc. i'd personally rather push the volume (heavy high rep or clusters of low rep etc): heavy high rep to target the muscle itself, clusters of heavy singles (relaxed/full recovery) to improve the cns work capacity (ability for the cns to recover and produce another max-s/explosive-s effort).

My rvj is like 33-34 at best right now lol. Can barely dunk. Can still svj dunk tho

lool. nice.
