Spence vs Ocampo, everyone knew how it would turn out and that's how it did turn out. Calls himself the body snatcher lol.

Canelo vs GGG officially set for september 15th. It was almost cancelled after canelo's side refused 50-50 and being a diva.

glad ggg gave them what they wanted just to give the fans the fight we wanted.

now go and smash canelo's face, drop him on his ass.

I give it to ggg for unanimous decision.

nice!! ya, hoping GGG takes him out now.

King Ches

this is such a great series. great videos. really shows a ton of the workout. They show his full 2 x 1 mile at the end.. 4:29,

I love (jk) how he doesn't acknowledge the other runner coming at him, at like 4:25.. sigh. :/

nice!!!

Running helps to reduce smoking, haha. Lungs/heart are now tools, to which you want to make stronger, not weaker. Good stuff :D

With lifting + occasional basketball, it's "not as important". But now with running, lungs/heart are now performance engines, so you naturally begin to think about them from a new perspective. :ibrunning: :ibrunning: :ibrunning: :highfive:

Nailed it. This, combined with the existing will to cut it ( or drastically reduce it to keep it real ) might make it happen.
As for overspeed, fuck it, i wasn't into it anyway. Was convenient as i already said, plus I got tempted from the speed PRs id hit. But i don't really care, better safe than sorry, AELS FTW!!!

yup. nice.

AELS ftw for sure. it's really helped me alot over the years.. when I remember it. When I forget it, I pay the price. :ninja:

damn, now that is what i want to look like at 50. def need to get a bit of lifting back in the program.

ikr.. dude is a monster. lmao.

- run 8 km in 41:00, cool down jog/walk 500m (treadmill)

nice!

no idea but, avoid movements that cause pain, that's probably the most effective/important advice we can give, other than getting it checked out.

when I was squatting deep way back, my hip was getting worse, knees more inflamed etc, so i moved to half squat -> that fixed it.

if I had to move from half squat to something else (like lunges/stepups or rdl/back extension), I would have.

avoiding pain is a good strategy/approach.

but knee cap issues can get pretty bad, you need to be very careful.

Yeah, im on the same wagon here, but with different (aka MUCH worse ) numbers, for me it would be perfect to be at 25m 5K and 1.5BW squat.
So I need/want to toss some needless weight, but i don't want to waste away, i like the strength and muscle mass levels that i am now. So i was thinking some diet modifications together with increasing running mileage would help me do a nice decomposition. Enough spamming, will take it to my journal. Good to see you lift LBSS!

If you keep lifting, you won't waste away. your fat will waste away though :D

Tons of muscular runners around here. A few of them are very fast. Most aren't, but still drop some decent numbers - so they have really good fitness, but aren't specializing in running.

If you want to "waste" away however, like me - Kenyan style, don't lift :ninja: You will only maintain the mass you need to perform, so you will get very light. People who continue to lift, while putting in significant mileage per week, look way different. Here's an example:

This is a photo (from our race Saturday) of my 800m friend (50 y/o, 2:07 800m). He lifts, sprints, and runs:



Not the best photo, but he is huge (compared to me) in person. Very muscular, huge legs etc. That's an example of someone with solid physique development and near-elite age-graded 800m ability, and solid mile/5k ability.

He mentioned several times, "I (him) need to squat more", so he's big on leg development for 800m. He's asked me several times why i'm not lifting etc.. I say I don't lift because the Kenyans don't. That's it. If the Kenyans lifted, i'd lift. So since executing their blueprint, it means no lifting. For running, the Kenyans are my Verkhoshansky. They've got it figured out, all I need to do really, is just emulate.

Here's an elite woman runner in the area too, she lifts 5x/wk and has insane running stats, American Records etc:



(obviously a fake weight lul)

Look at her next to other masters women:



Huge.

I talked to her a few weeks ago. She said specifically, she has to lift 5x/wk now just to maintain her LBM, because of her age. She said she used to get away with 3x/wk, but now she needs 5x/wk. So, very relevant to this discussion.

She's huge for a female runner, in person. I mean she probably has more LBM than me........ lmao.

EDIT: both of these runners I posted are members of "The Atlanta Track Club", they usually represent them at races/meets. He has their red jersey on. Sonja is a pro/pro-masters.

-Bored of half squats, decided to bring back o-lifts.
Sooooo much more fun, love them. Tempted to ditch normal squats too, or skip volume, i am tired of legs being stressed from weights all the time.
This ++ denotes that at the same rep i am cleaning and then i am pushpressing it, not 5 cleans and then 5 presses.

Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : lats mostly, some deltoids and traps too but minor
Injuries/aches : none

RUN 5km @ 29'41''

Second time in my life going under 30'. Actually just 50'' away from my PR , yet it was not a max effort 5K, I didn't even warmup. I was going uptempo, but actively buffering a bit. Only pushed it maximally at the last 750m as you can see on the graph too because i saw i was able to break 30' so i went for it. Not bad at all. Now gotta reduce smoking, i have relaxed a bit too much with it.





In other news, as I mentioned in LBSS's journal earlier, i intend to run a re-composition for a while. Nothing too fancy or obsessed. So for diet I will be reducing carbs, except from the weight days post-workout. I will be trying to break even ( TDEE-vs-food ) or even on a surplus on weight days but with most of the calories and carbs post-workout, while being on a deficit all other days. Training wise i will try to have as less missed running days as possible. Must change my mindset to make running days more important than lifting days, but i am finding difficulties to do that, i want my 3 gym days per week. Summer is also an enemy, increased social life, less free time, more alcohol and cigar smoke in my system. Oh well, ill keep grinding.

nice!!!

i always run the hill up. The thing is, the 'hill' is 500m long. So when i was doing 500m sprints, i would run it up and then walk back down to start point (bottom ) for recovery, i never sprinted downhill.
Now that i am doing 300m, it is very convenient ( there are roads at exactly 300m up AND down, plus the times are great , ~1 min run - 2 mins walk ) to go like:
-Run 300m uphill
-Walk the remaining 200m uphill
-Reached top
-Run 300m downhill.
-Walk the remaining 20mm downhill
-Reached bottom.
-Repeat.
Of course i can just use the first 300m section and walk it back down and repeat forever. But i also like that now every iteration is a square number ( 500m ). but that's just my stats&maths OCD...

makes sense but, don't let your stats/maths OCD result in tendinitis... :D

Quote
oh well , let's sum it up: i asked advice for downhill sprints, you guys jumped in to go against them so it is pretty clear that i should just shut up and ditch them, end of story. :D :D :D

hah.

well, it's worth debating/discussing, BUT there's a reason you don't usually hear about elites doing downhill speed work. It's pretty much entirely uphill. Downhill speed is just too risky. You mentioned "buffering it" etc, but that would change mechanics and might cause you to "break" more each stride. So even though you are going down "fast", those breaking mechanics are triggered each stride, and the knee extensor tendons can become over stressed.

Think about "buffering" uphill. Just the thought of it, you can feel the difference, to me at least. Buffering uphill = toning down the acceleration, Buffering downhill = breaking the speed - since you are falling.

It'd be something you'd consider if you were just looking at the sports science of it, ie some kind of "super method" in a Verkhoshansky protocol etc. I'd have considered it back then @ a very small grade, that's for sure.

But in practice, uphill is safer + more effective. In a weightlifting analogy, uphill is like adding concentric resistance. It's easier on the joints, and harder on the muscles concentrically. Downhill is harder on the joints, changes mechanics from accelerating to breaking, and harder on the muscles eccentrically.

Regarding overspeed:

The best "overspeed" is using the wind.. That's what i've found in practice. If you want to maintain mechanics and experience forces greater than you can generate on your own, the wind takes care of that. Nature FTW. Nature ftw with hills as well :F

You're not doing overspeed but just throwing that out there.

Anecdotal but, I remember after the coral springs half marathon, my right knee had healed from tendonitis/ITBS, I went fast on a small downhill and it reinjured *instantly*.

Now when I do hills, I basically "walk down", but using a slow-af jog form.

my 2cents on it!
