“It's a struggle to go out and get that extra 5, 6 miles in,” he says. “But the minute you start cutting it short, then that's the minute where it's going to be easier in a race to give in.”

alot of truth to that. cutting it short can sometimes be good, but can also help you cut it short in a race. have to be careful with it.

true. i remember back in college reading a blog entry from one of the all-time great college ultimate players, josh ziperstein. (he was an elite club player too but then he became a doctor and stopped playing.) it was a list of tips for his teammates and included a lot of good advice (e.g. when flying to a tournament, get up and walk around the cabin at least once an hour and while you're up drink a cup of water.) but the thing that stuck with me the most was, to paraphrase, never give up on a rep. if you're running 40s or cone drills or 400s or whatever, finish hard, because ingraining that mentality in practice makes it easier to run through in games without having to think about it.

yup definitely. i've given up in workouts/finished weak etc, and you can definitely feel the effect it has on you. makes it easier to do when it matters, 100%.

one thing i'm slightly proud about, is how i've finished every race, never once stopped running. i'd stop if i was injured, but i haven't stopped when i've done some pretty epic blow ups. I just keep running, somehow. I make sure to do that though.. I feel like if I stopped to walk etc, that could have some very bad consequences down the line. Though, i'd sometimes like to be able to push myself to the point that I absolutely have to walk - ie if i'm just trying to keep up with much faster people and i want to do it for as long as physically possible. In that scenario, I don't think stopping to walk etc would be much of a problem.

why are you losing that much water weight?

never count water weight loss. stay hydrated as fu*k.

light-ish speed day.

no hard workouts tomorrow, because I might do a 5k on Saturday.
