you gonna join the team?

nah probably not. who knows tho.

I don't like the idea of tying myself down to one team. I don't respond well to stuff like that. So I need to be careful committing to people/teams, instead of just being a lone wolf competitor - which I feel more comfortable with. Just typing that out, the idea of being on a team stresses me out a bit. The idea of being a lone wolf competitor, makes me feel great. Just how i'm wired I guess.

Also one thing that I forgot to mention, is simply TEAM. You train alone primarily afaik - would be nice to find some more people to train with. Doing starts with a few other people or a group is much different than doing them loner-style. So beyond all of the specific training concepts, simply having people out there to push yourself against could quite possibly be the best training method. :ninja: :ibrunning:

Together Everyone Achieves More is no joke. Training with a pack, especially w/ running/sprinting, is extremely effective.

pc!


 :P. You should do it for the free gear if nothing else. I like the sound of 'swag items'.

dno .. says it has a yearly fee etc. sooo, not free :ninja:

i don't mind paying the fee for something, just don't think i'm a team person. i like doing my own thing. ;d

- VO2MAX: 64 - cool sign considering my previous high was 65 on saturday for the half

left ankle (medial/instep side) has a few things going on: a bunch of cuts/bruises from clipping myself with my RC5000v2's (sharp tread), some aches from that lame jump rope session two weeks ago, etc.

Badass runner I found on strava who seems to just rock up to marathons and try to hold on to the Olympic Trial qualifying pace (<2:19 or ~5:18/mile) for as long as he can.


First half in 1:05:55, finish in 2:38 lol:

Held it for like 20.5 miles here before starting to fall apart:

And here for like a bit more:
https://www.strava.com/activities/1357335017/overview

Under a minute away from qualifying! What a badass approach

incredible find. this is my kind of dude. that's basically what I plan on doing.. amazing.

Workout

SS1A NG Chins [top set = 11]
SS1B Pushups [top set = 17]

SS2A: kb ohp @ 16kg [3 x 6]
SS2B: kb row @ 24kg [3 x 6]

Notes

Blisters seem like they'd still flip out if I ran today, but also like they might be better by tomorrow, so I'm resisting the urge to run and taking today off. Will do my calisthenics routine later, though.

Signed up for that 5k on the 30th to run w/ LBSS. Will be interesting to see how that goes since it's just a few days after my half. I assume I'll basically still be dead, but if I take those two recovery days seriously on the 28th/29th maybe I'll be recovered enough to put in a good effort.

I was absolutely fine after my first half - did a solid track session 2 days after - but I wasn't capable of pushing it "properly hard". For that reason, I think you'll be fine.

I think it's hard to push it properly if you haven't ever done one. So, simply based on no half marathon experience, I don't think you'll be able to destroy yourself in that race. I learned *alot* during my first half. I tried to address much of what I learned in that race, to my training etc, and towards my mental preparation for my recent half. So I was able to really push the pace considerably harder & more consistent for much longer, based on what I learned & how that helped me prepare.

so ya, if you get in "recovery fuel" very soon after the race, eat good, rest up, hydrate well, maybe some light walking and/or super light + short recovery runs. I think you'll probably be fine for that 5k.

after your second half you'll probably be wrecked. hah.

peace!!

signed up for another race.. 10k on 04/08/2018. Don't really "care" about it. Signed up because of this thread tho:

<go away>

haha.

I'm not going to go nuts with it, because of the mile race 2 days later.. But I just couldn't NOT sign up after that exchange. :D

this thread kept going .. i dropped a few more gems on people. but, the cool thing was, the lady organizing the event (i think she is the one who manages the sea turtle relief stuff), contacted me and thanked me for my "kind words, rational responses, and courtesy". we had a nice chat, good person.

dno just cool.

Aided by a tailwind, Kamworor split a 13:01 5k for the final 3.1 miles of the race. He probably wouldn’t have been able to go that fast without the help of the wind and the strategic start, but those are minor quibbles when you consider he cranked out a time which would have won gold at the 2016 Olympics at the end of a half marathon.

ya man that's SO INSANE!@)$(!@)$(!@)$(@!)$(!@)$(!@)$(!@

and he finished it with his trademark enormous smile, lmfao:

toe is being annoying.

if it feels ok tmw morning, might do a light "below tweak threshold" easy run. Already canceled out of track tmw.

if it's bugging, won't do anything. will at least walk to the field first .. if it's bad, will just keep walking.

need to heel this "turf toe" up.

FUCKING JUMP ROPE.

other than zion's first dunk, the rest have been fairly simple .. but with near perfect execution/power/vert etc.. other kids trying so much crazy stuff with no chance of landing it. zion just doing what he knows 100% he can do and making it look brutal. smart dewd.

nico christie is judging in the McDonalds 2018 dunk contest........ HAHA!!

this is a pretty bad contest.. but Zion is in it.

plus a girl landed a hard dunk.

it's interesting how women dunkers don't do self lobs.....................



when zion went to do his first dunk, EVERYONE stood up.. no one stayed seated. pretty awesome sight.

man he's a monster.
