Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: ADARQ's journal
« on: June 12, 2018, 12:10:02 am »
Think im going to signup for a 5k on Saturday. One of my friends (that older beast 800m guy) wants to try and go sub17.. wants me to tag along with him.
He found this "unlisted" 5k. That's the course I did the Taravella 5k at, solo 17:35 watch.
Anyway, this guy has beaten me in every race so far (2 x 5k, 2 x mile). He beat me on this same course once. I might be able get him on Saturday but who knows with this high mileage. I'll probably run decent though if I take Friday "easy" (light/grass).
Not sure how he's gotten himself into sub17 shape given how he trains, but he did do a 5x1km repeat session last week that looked pretty solid, sub17-ish. He's a beast though, he steps up in races.
word.

maybe.. lol
people do stuff like that on strava, or any of these social running sites. it's funny/lame.
maybe not though.. some people do some crazy shit. the ultra people put in some insane mileage. some people also run across countries and stuff, and end up at the top of these distance challenges. hah.

yeah man.
watched it live, then a few more times.
it really is one of the best comebacks i've ever seen. still blows my mind thinking about it.
feel for the girl who got caught in that last lap, once she realizes it she drops that sad F bomb.
~50s last lap I think? absolutely flying.

#74 out of 149,000 people for the Strava distance challenge (June). lool.
I just joined because I saw someone I know join it, figured i'd see where I stack up. Almost on the first page! hah. 
#16 in the US! lool
ok .. leaving the challenge for now. Don't want to know where I stack up. Maybe i'll rejoin at the end of the month. I don't like the idea of competing for miles.

went from like 9+ min/mi to almost sub6 in an instant, once that lightning struck. HEH!
running while holding that bag of dog treats/honey in one arm, was surprisingly comfortable. became even more comfortable once the lightning hit, then all i could think about was hauling a$$.

That flooded grass mile was ROUGH! Brought my spikes with the 3/8th inch needle spikes in them, to see if I could run fast in that flooded field. Decent, but was really tough. Splashing around non-stop haha. Fun but had to be careful.
feet/big toe beat up from that session ^^
been feeling big toe off and on barely for a few days now.. i think running in spikes in that mushy grass could have stretched it a bit too much. dno yet.
feet are just crushed from running so much distance in spikes. i guess they'll make my feet stronger if i run in them more often. now i know i can run in them on grass.. they perform well! if it's dry they will be fast.

« on: June 10, 2018, 02:22:36 pm »- ultimate frisbee x ~75 mins
- stretch
not as beastly hot as it's been but still humid. i'm rusty, played like dogshit. and, once again, have lost some fitness. last time i played it was amazing how much more quickly i recovered between points than usual.
running tomorrow early morning with fast christian. still not 100% over my cold. but tomorrow beginneth the build back to 50+ km per week. will go at least once to the gym this week as well. probably later given that i played ultimate today.
One thing i've found interesting is how alot of the "older folks" train, compared to the young ones. These old veterans just go out for consistent runs, often very easy, turning it up when they feel good etc, or just turning it up in races. Young folks hit the track 1-2x/wk and do all kinds of crazy stuff. Meanwhile, some of these old dudes are dropping crazy times when you consider the "age grade" etc.. even beating most young folks. The frequency of their running is what stands out to me. They just get a run in every day no matter what, it seems -> even if it's just a few easy miles.
Niice get back on that 50+km/wk.

your squat didn't vanish, your confidence did. don't let these little oscillations (from things like illness) fu*k you up mentally.
fwiw, drugs would just make all of this 1000x worse. imagine your squat vanishing on drugs? which it could.. especially if you've been sick etc. Sounds like a complete train wreck mentally.
also you don't look alien thin.. lol.
if you're feeling weak alot lately, might need to switch up the program slightly & also check diet, ie have some goto strength foods (for me that's steak or lots of chicken wings etc).

ya crawford is the real deal. can hurt you from any stance, excellent counters, excellent D. he's lethal.
