dude in white shirt & another in the black shirt (with green socks) stand out, also jake has some lean. that other white dude training with them seems more upright, he's more of a miler i think.
beautiful, to me.

is it just me or in the kenya clips, runners have much better lean than most other clips?

one girl literally leaning back.
it's just something I always notice between Coach Hudson's clips and Jake's clips.
i'm not one for forcing it, but I just feel like I see some incredible lean from kenyan runners in most every clip .. incredible lean for long distance runners. fwiw, when i look at my shadow when i'm running, i seem to have a decent bit of lean. I just need to get used to 200 SPM turnover for endless miles

« on: March 16, 2018, 01:17:59 pm »the garmin wrist HR monitor is useless. just ignore it.
idk if in general they are so bad, some of DCRainmaker's reviews of the newer ones have them holding up pretty well compared to chest straps. Adarq's is clearly totally messed up, unfortunately; his HR on runs on strava also tend to look pretty nonsense.
ya today it had me at like 175+ .. when i was probably like 130's. For my half marathon it had me at like 200's or something, lmao.
i need to contact garmin, maybe mine is just super jacked up.

The Final Girls
I believe it came out in 2015 but I randomly found this gem
So the title final girls means the final girl in a typical slasher movie that kills the killer.
So some chicks mom was an actress and starred in a slasher F13th type of movie in the 70s. On the 3 year anniversary of the chicks moms death a movie theater plays that movie. A fire starts and girl and friends cut through the screen to escape through the back, in doing so they find themselves in the movie. Without getting too much into detail, they try to save everyone and they have to kill the killer to escape the movie.
Rated PG13 and it is listed as a comedy.
I thought it was funny, clever, goofy and nice visuals.
It is worth a watch one night
I suck at reviewing stuff.
nice @ the killer gets killed.
i saw something nutty like that with some deaf/mute woman (author, out in the woods by herself in a small sparse community) when I was at my aunt's... movie was pretty crazy.

my optical HR on my garmin has been so jacked up the last 2 days.
yesterday, my RHR was 120+ on my watch, but 40's manually. So I put my friend's apple watch (?) on my right wrist, and we looked at both:
- garmin 735xt: 120+ BPM
- friend's watch: ~45 BPM
teh fu*k?

Those darn chinups did a number on my abs (100% foreseeable). Bit of a shit squat session as a result. Still, okay all things considering. My lower back not happy from squatting with subopt form with fatigued abs tho.

I've been in AFL since sunday night btw, it's currently tuesday night, so im in AFL for 48hrs and counting. Feel disillusioned with medical field, im going to vent about that if i can be bothered tomorrow.
any update? hope you are doing ok .. i mean I see your latest workout so I assume you're doing ok.

Please do. I'm very confused about the heart situation - I've seen you upload basketball vids to IG, and I thought you weren't supposed to be doing that. Tbh, with the prospect of a cardial ablation on the horizon, I thought you'd be taking it easy, not training as normal?
basically, x2.

Workout
Run -- 8.40mi in 1:13:23
5.25 easy, 2@HM (7:34, 7:33 [7:19, 7:25 GAP]), rest easy/cooldown
Notes
Runs have been a little crummy recently. Hadn't slept well most of this week until last night, so I'll just chalk it up to that.
that'll do it for sure.

I quite like structuring tempo-ish work this way. There's no resting in this workout, it's just run easy for a while, then try to hit that race pace for ~15 mins. Then back to easy running. Feels like a good way to simulate hitting those paces on tired legs (even easy running 5mi is going to tire my legs out a bit).
definitely, i've come to love that as well. feels great to throw in tempo in the middle or at the end, then just finish with more light relaxed miles.
i didn't really enjoy tempo until this year.. just hated it before. i've come to really enjoy it now. Love just working on various paces @ a continued effort. Also, love progression runs even more. Progressions are probably my favorite tool now. Again, great to hit X pace, then X-10s, X-20s, X-30s, X-40s, etc.. just feels really interesting .. reminds me of progressing into max effort jumps, very gradually.. lmao! I used to love doing that. trying to hit dunks/jumps in gear 1, gear 2, ..., gear max.

Ankle feeling decent.

also to what Joe said, I doubt fitness is back sliding, though performance may be .. but that would simply be related to fatigue & adapting to more frequent runs & overall higher intensity etc. that "accumulated fatigue" effect works for running too -> you can run yourself into the ground a bit then rebound out hard by cutting intensity/volume and/or resting more etc.. so in that case, fitness is improving in the face of that decreased performance, just takes some tapering/sharpening/deloading sometimes to express it.
I wouldn't worry about it too much, adapting can be taxing.
and to what you said at the end: I love hardly looking at my watch when i'm running easy. Looking at the watch will almost always make you run faster.. for easy runs, it's great to just look at the duration and/or mileage and just relax. "harder" easy runs may need the watch, but true easy runs, can just go coast and relax.
and ya, hard on hard days! can only do that ~2-3x/wk, leaning more towards 2x .. even 1x is necessary occasionally when you just get run down.
finally, every day is different. I can run great on tuesday of this week, and crap on tuesday of next week. ride teh fluctuation waves!
