as for biggest area of improvement, it's definitely my "long tempo" runs. It's pretty difficult for me in training, to hit a hard tempo 5 miler right now. Most of my training is either short & fast (<= 1mi or repeat strides etc) or slow (>= 8:XX, possibly with a progression going down to 7:XX/6:XX).
so that "long tempo" is just not in my toolbox right now.
overall mileage is there.
speed is there.
vo2max is there (speed/races).
long & slow is there.
proper tempo isn't. not surprisingly, I don't actually enjoy these kinds of runs. the stuff in the middle makes me feel like crap.
hills aren't. i don't do them as often as I should.
so, hills & proper tempo = areas for improvement.
To put it into perspective, this Nacho Hernando guy (rare local elite), often does 1 hour runs with 5 miles tempo in the middle (5:0x-5:1x per mile). He does it 2-3x/wk it seems. I don't do anything like that.

« on: August 05, 2018, 01:42:19 pm »what do you think is your biggest area for improvement right now? if your VO2 max really is up in that range, then why aren't you running faster?
actually come to think of it the conditions probably don't help. 80s and humid ain't optimal.
i dno. was like 85F today with 90+% humidity. conditions are brutal. I think those predictions are "optimal weather conditions". but, that begs the question, how is it calculating such a high vo2 in bad conditions? I definitely think my vo2max is over 60 tho.
my vo2max watch measurement to me, is more about whether or not it increases, than if it's accurate or not. Every time I PR my vo2max on my watch, I run *very* well in races (usually PR's). I almost PR'd my 5k yesterday (official and watch), and almost PR'd two mile, in way worse conditions than my previous PR. It was absolute torture yesterday.
I PR'd my vo2max twice this week, and got two big W's this weekend in back2back rough 5k's. I really trust the "general increase" of this number.
all I know is, elites were complaining about 65 heat index yesterday at beach2beacon. It was like 60F with 90+% humidity. That would be PR whether down here...... lmao. i'd fly in that.
my biggest race so far was that coral springs half marathon, the one where I basically ran my 10k PR and extended it to 10 miles. That was *perfect* weather for down here, like 55-60F or something, no humidity. So out of nowhere, I put on a crazy race. If it was like that all of the time, i'd def be running faster, guaranteed. My 2nd biggest might have actually been that Vista View Ultra Relay, where I ran like 13 x 1.25 mi @ ~6:00 on a hilly trail. People's minds were blown. That was colder than CS half, like mid 40's for the first half, mid 50's second half.
so i imagine alot of it has to do with conditions. it's really brutal out here.
most guys who used to beat me in the fall/winter last year, i'm absolutely crushing now. one guy ran 17:2X last December, can't even get under 18 in this heat. He just folds.
but ya we'll see come fall/winter. that's going to be the big test. kind of exciting
i'm looking to get some huge W's against some of the fastest people in the area.

Okari, who is just over six feet tall, prefers road races to the track. "With my long legs, I don’t like to go around the track for so many laps," he says. "I like to go in one direction. It is easier on the body and on the mind. When the gun goes off, I am already at the finish."
Quote
Yet even if he never runs another race, Okari has already achieved one great victory. About his mother’s advice to get on with his life, he says, "She now knows that she was wrong."

this is a great video about Cha'iel vs Krianne:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxgOEbjuqvI" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxgOEbjuqvI</a>
Cha'iel looks really hard on herself.. but in a good way. Often you see kids like that, and it's destructive. With her, it seems productive. Looks like she takes L's and turns it into pure fire.
