glutes/adductors so sore.

happy with the buildup, felt good. was hard to see so had to be careful.

dno if this is new or not, but it's on TV.

watched some good matches so far, though they are so short.

didn't know Kenya had a competitive rugby team.

right. guys running sub5 for 26.2 miles haven't maximized their potential. lmfao.

I want to do an OCR next year, but just to try and beat everyone. While I respect people who train hard for OCR's, they don't personally appeal to me, lots of useless stuff. The badmouthing of marathons is funny.. I don't know alot about OCR, but I don't know of any that approach 3 hours in duration etc.

Triathlons/ironman triathlon/marathons etc are fucking nuts & extremely difficult, that's a damn fact. heh.

i bet a dollar that guy was/is into crossfit.

i wouldn't bet against it.

cool thread, on what's harder: sub3 1km vs sub3 marathon

http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=8181524

for me, i'd say sub3 marathon is harder.. but i think it's because i'm more explosive. my mile time vs 2 mile, 5k, 10k, half, full etc is way off .. mile is much faster, so is 1km. however, my 800m sucks. My 200m/400m is ok, but 800m is pretty awful.

so I seem to be right around 1200m to 1 mile, everything else in each direction starts to get slower (other than sprint speed: 400m = ~60, 200m = ~28).

my 1200m (watch split) is like 4:39 pace, mile is 4:49/4:50 (watch split).

my 800m is (2:19) ~4:38 pace, 2 mile is ~11:06 (5:33min/mi).

when i'm running a mile, i can feel a different level of power & comfort, vs say a 5k at a slower pace. My 5k's usually feel way off. My mile efforts seem like what i'm "meant to do". It just clicks. I could be in 4:5X mile shape and find myself struggling with 5:5X min/mi 5k pace. But then I could also potentially feel "the same struggle" at 5:4X. Bottom line, it's a struggle for 3.1 miles. Even the first mile feels like a struggle many times, and it could be anywhere from 5:2X to 5:5X .... but, i'm im 4:5X mile shape so how could 5:2X-5:5X be a struggle? There's something about "letting go" in a mile that makes me feel "proper". It's something I keep trying to figure out, because it doesn't make much sense to me. How can you crank out 4:5X for one hard mile, then hurt at 5:4X-5:5X mile in a 5k race? It's like the "holding back" changes up things considerably, form or energy system wise etc, and that leads to more fatigue. I've mentioned it before, when I feel more free out there, really letting go and letting my speed come out, letting the hips open up, I feel better. But I have to really stay loose. If I don't stay loose, I can tank hard. It's as if i'm running by pressing the gas pedal & brakes simultaneously.

this running stuff is nuts, really love it.
