For some people in this world, nobody is gonna give you anything. Nobody is gonna “bat” for you. No support...they will just ignore you, hoping you go away. No matter how “good” you are. So, you have to make things happen yourself. Put in that work. Keep being successful. Make your own party, they will eventually come begging to be let in. #Contodo #cabadats #hardworkpaysoff #successisthebestrevenge

I opened up a can of worms in the local running group.. I made a history post, talking about some of the past results & the fastest people, and now there's tons of posts, mentioning so many other people who were incredibly fast.

One new name I learned of which hadn't seen before: Paul Mwangi

Tons of people are commenting on it.. pretty cool. I love history of "scenes", so i'm always digging through past results, looking for names & seeing who they were etc.

Just for clarification: I wouldn't recommend you go out HARD in your first race (in a very long time) hah. That strategy works when you are in "race shape" (lots of racing).

With experience, for tune-ups to racing new distances, going out hard @ goal pace for a while and then shutting it down can be a decent strategy. Turning it into an experiment run. ie, like I did with my half. And like i'll do with a full at some point this year. Then, you go hard as hell the next time you do it, with lessons learned in that experiment run.

man what happened to SFL running? insane!

I actually won this race a few years ago, with like 18:4X or something? I forget.. That WOULDN'T even get me top 40 in 2000. WTF?

https://www.athlinks.com/event/1712/results/Event/13717/Course/20205/Results



sonja got 23rd that year, which is insane considering she's so damn fast.

GLOBAL WARMING or something wtf?

some other oldschool names i'm still seeing today:

Chris Miller

Eddie Ernest-Jones

Both guys seem crazy fast.. 14:XX-15:XX 5k's back then (late 90's/early 2000's), still 15:XX 5k's today.

one of the fastest guys in all of FL.

Days before his high school graduation, Jon Mott sneaked off to a dugout in the baseball stadium. There, he stripped down to a pair of track flats, pulled a ski mask over his face, and dashed to the nearby football stadium, where a Vikings intrasquad game was being held before the entire student body.

"I can't believe how well it worked," Jon recalled. "I literally hopped the fence, (ran) clear straight through the middle of a play, and the fans were going crazy."

With football players in pursuit, Jon scaled a fence — naked, mind you — and made it to his buddy's getaway car in an adjacent neighborhood. They got about two blocks before four cop cars surrounded them. Jon was banned from the prom and Northeast's graduation ceremony. His twin brother picked up his diploma.

"After I graduated with my undergrad and I was done running for college, that's when I decided I was healthy," he said. "And I started running as much as my body could handle."

As part of the general movement assessment the physio asked me to jump. I thwacked my head hard on the ceiling. He was like "Oh shit, no one's ever done that before! Epic jump!"

Been feeling somewhat down for the last couple weeks and not being able to run has been a contributing factor for sure. Feeling a lot better after last couple of days and have managed to change my mindset, for now at least, in a positive way.

Saw physio today, discussed whether a scan would be useful and he thinks not. Took recordings of me running short distances (mild pain gone shortly after from this) and that made fairly clear the issue. Left leg moves great, straight forward, sturdy landing, but right leg is just super floppy and lands terribly. He thinks the way to fix that is strengthening, esp glutes. Seems reasonable to me. Right leg seemed to be moving more "correctly" the faster I ran.

Makes me think that just doing regular strides/hill running without any "easy running" for a while might actually be sensible? These things cause minimal pain because they're either low impact or just involve fewer impacts than a proper run, and they seem like the most specific way to improve strength for running. Thoughts? I guess running drills would also be useful?

ya relaxed speed seems to fix lots of issues that we see in slower running. then eventually slower running improves.

like you said the other day too, you can always throw strides into your light runs to get those better movement patterns firing. hit a stride, then try and lock into that "better form" and incorporate into the slower paced running.

as for the floppiness, i think it'll improve. if you just keep focusing on staying healthy and keep getting the miles in (mix of speed & light), it should improve. but ya, speed will teach it better how not to be floppy.

:highfive: :ibjumping:

i didn't mention it in my journal the other day but, i also did a nice jump hah. after the tgi5k, nice little run-up into a single leg jumped onto probably some ~24" concrete structure (to get onto a bridge) and just floated up there mad ez, very bouncy, felt good. :ibrunning: :ibjumping:

peace!

damn! so you definitely broke it?

i got punched in the nose with the palm once, bled like crazy too but luckily it didn't break.

#contactSports :ninja:

also that really sucks about the elbow tendinitis. that made me stop playing tennis. it got so bad i just stopped completely and never went back. took forever to heal. running actually helped it alot i think. tennis really f'd me up come to think of it: hip reinjured, hand/knuckle tendinitis, elbow tendinitis.

damn heal up man!!
