400m Sprinting or Shorter / Re: The Sprinting News Thread
« on: July 06, 2018, 01:14:16 pm »Yeah Lyle's is doing awesome. Norman is killing the 400 but pure speed Lyle's is a fraction faster. It's great to see the rising talent.
ya. i don't think anyone is going to touch Noah in 200m in the future.. and if he can become 100/200, man o man, serious stuff. Apparently he's "better than Bolt" at this point (age-wise), but doesn't mean a whole lot given maturity etc, plus Bolt had to learn how to "start".
Noah just gives off next-level vibes to me.. something about him, beyond just his numbers, that makes me think he will be phenomenal for his whole career. Absolutely love his attitude as well.. Just seems to be having so much fun out there, always a huge smile on his face. And he's a moma's boy... lol.
something very refreshing about him.

btw, don't be afraid to bump when you have more races, that's the idea of this thread. I usually add a bunch, do them, then bump when I add a bunch more. ;f
currently finding more potential races.. but XC races!!! grass/dirt etc. I feel like I need to do more XC. I think it agrees with me, especially since I prefer running on such uneven/soft/"hilly" terrain when I train. Need to "take my talents to XC" ;d

Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: The Upcoming Competitions Thread
« on: July 06, 2018, 10:45:29 am »I dont have an elaborate list or plan like you folks but I just found this thread and would like to add that I plan on doing the Lunar Rendezvous (dubbed the Space Force run on IRC) https://runningalliancesport.org/lunar-rendezvous/
will be running in more shortly after so will update with schedule and results!
very excited for your space force audition. I feel like you were born to be a space force cadet
btw i don't have a plan either (for the most part). i just find races & race. lool. it's fun ;d
by the end of 2018 I should have like 40 races in 1 year, hopefully. I have 20 total right now: https://www.athlinks.com/athletes/245984762/results
One thing I know, from looking at people who have made the most improvement, they tend to have the most races. Racing alot gets you in really great shape by itself, because you can take advantage of that competitive spirit and push your limits/fitness more effectively.
I want to be in absolutely insane shape come 2019 .. One of my main goals for then is to win back2back half marathons, which happen on Saturday & Sunday. They are two fast/popular half marathons that i'm pretty sure no one has ever even thought of "doubling". I'd love to win both.
Stuff like that motivates me more than just winning a race itself.. the idea of being able to pull something like that off, really amps me up. Makes it feel more like a "mission impossible operation" than just preparing for a race, which I like. hah.

took a screenshot of KENYA vs USA (marathon 2018) a few days ago:

kinda nuts, no?
I imagine half marathon would be even more nuts.

Been seeing my fellow #teamusa athletes posting pictures with them in their 🇺🇸 uniforms so I’m joining in 😛. Seriously though, this country is not perfect, I am not so proud of some actions. I’ve gotten to see the world and it made me think more of where I live. There are places in this world where people feel like they don’t exist. There are no opportunities, no hope. As racist and unfair this country could seem to be and I have shared these very thoughts, these photos i am positing remind me that it’s not just that. I came from the bottom, grew up my whole childhood life 0-17 years old on welfare as my mother was a single parent “no education” and father in prison. My whole family roots are from Mexico. I certainly didn’t have positive role models growing up to make me wanna be successful, it was actually the opposite. I come from a certain area where the a good majority of Hispanic males will be gang bangers...in prison, dead, or end up homeless on the streets from drug addiction. Now where I am getting at is, this country still gave me....ME....opportunities to be somebody, to travel the world, to follow my dreams. I am still following my dreams at 36 years old. This country has not stopped me because of my background, or stopped me because I have had family members in trouble with the law. There are opportunities for all of us, I am proof. Today, of all days made it more clear. I am proud to be an American! I will continue to be positive and keep working hard, showing that hard work does pay off. Doesn’t matter where you come from, what you look like...it might not be easy, but you can achieve anything. Happy 4th of July. #contodo #cabadats #hardworkpaysoff
