glad you bumped.. this morning, my RHR was ~100+, so I decided to test manually: 42 .. then I click back to the HR monitor on my watch, and it said 40, then 37, etc. lol. so weird.

but ya, when it was ~100+ according to my watch, it was definitely in the low 40's. I checked a few times before saying, ok let me see for sure what it is based on a 60s test.

my watch based HRM hates me.

weird stuff.

also: a few weeks ago, after 21 miles:

Lol, basically the same thing happened to me this morning. My watch said RHR was like 100 and I thought that seemed like bs so took a manual reading and got 48. My watch seems to take a while to settle down, but has recently seemed to be pretty reliable when monitoring actual workouts, I think.

hah. coincidence++. that's funny.

ya i think mine is better during a workout than when i'm at rest, it's really odd though. My RHR was like 148 a few minutes ago.. but was more like 50ish manual testing. lmfao. nuts.

Mo Farah quietly wins a half @ 1:01:40

and another

whoa wtf? anyone see that coming? insane.

faster than zeke elliott, julio jones, richard sherman (who ran a 4.6 (!) at the combine).

ya pretty insane.. even his second 40 which was 4.5x, would be up there in the top times hah.

i didn't really believe the first number, until i saw the 40 overlay with zeke/julio etc. pretty nuts at that position.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqIdr2ZR3FY" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqIdr2ZR3FY</a>

and he's got a belly, too. wonder if any team will take a flyer on him.

ya when I saw him in drills, didn't think he looked good at all .. but he was apparently cramping. Then they mentioned his 40 & bench and I was like, wtf?

someone will take, pretty high up in the draft i imagine. but i'm sure some teams are also a bit more wary after the drills portion of the combine.. but they'll probably just resort to his on-field footage/accolades.

pc!!

Harbour Club Serpentine Last Friday of the Month 5k -> 26th Jan, i.e. next Friday.

If I like it + the organisation, etc., I might try to run it monthly rather than doing Parkruns, since this is more convenient and on a nicer course.

I think that's it for now. Need to build up more fitness before I'll feel like I'm actually racing at 10k or longer.

Unofficial 5k time of 20:46.6. Race recap here: http://www.adarq.org/progress-journals-experimental-routines/warpspeed-to-the-new-scenario/msg138860/#msg138860

Official results: https://www.serpentine.org.uk/rdb/showrace.php?race=12450

Official time is 20:40, sick.

Just signed up for the next iteration of this race on 23/03. Will be aiming for sub 20:00.

oooh nice!!!

adarq.org racing weekend:

- 2018/03/23: joe/5k
- 2018/03/24: adarqui/half

anyone else racing on the 23rd/24th?

03/03/18

Hip stretches, glute bridge, thoracic bridge

5 min
Crow stand - 3 x 10s

15 min
Tuck Pull Through - 5 x 5 (progression for l-sit to handstand)
Deadlift- bar x 5, 60 x 5, 80 x 5, 90 x 5
Thoracic bridge

10 min
Tuck front lever - 2 x 10s
Airborne Squat - 2 x 5 each leg

Have a bit of "golfers elbow" at the moment in the left arm. I'm attributing it to all the pull ups and benching I did late last year and early this year after coming off the hand injury where I wasn't using my right hand for any heavy lifting. Going to rest it a little, avoid movements that hurt it and get some good soft tissue work in there. See how that goes.

ah damn that sucks!

ya def avoid anything that aggravates it .. elbow issues can take forever to heal if we keep aggravating it. My tennis elbow injury sucked so bad, running actually helped it hah.

Arvo Run-

6.55km in in 45:14 @ 6:54/km. Average HR of 136.

Pace getting better at the HR. I also noticed I'm getting better at maintaining a similar pace and not letting the HR jump all over the place. Kept telling myself to be patient and trust the process as I ran.

nice!

ya trying to get yourself to relax is important. it seems i 'laugh' alot now when i'm getting wrecked, or find myself not relaxing .. it's like a 'lol calm the fu*k down' laugh. seems to help. I was laughing up the hill on saturday.. hah.

good stuff tho, progressing.
