interesting .. started reading another Brad Hudson book I got recently:

https://www.amazon.com/Run-Faster-5K-Marathon-Coach/dp/0767928229

It basically looks like it's going to be AREG style, or what he terms "adaptive running". Pretty cool.






Also, "Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance" should be coming soon! Joe is reading it now too, which I learned the other day. Going to finish this Coaching book first, then can't wait to dive into this other one.

Felt good. Humid af, drench after 2 mile warmup .. hah. Feels good to sweat like that tho.

nice.

glutes/quads really felt it on those paused BW lunges. good stuff.




runlikeagirl update: she hit 2 5:58 miles but, took a quick break after the first, so not technically 2 miles under 12. then tied her 400/200 efforts of last week, after much more work. nice.

humid af.. we were both drenched after the warmup.. hah.

another track girl (masters sprinter, 100m/200m/400m) loved our workout/intensity and asked when we come etc, wants to tag along next Thursday .. she said she's ~62-63s for 400m @ ~47 or so IIRC? I forget. She was just getting back into shape.. she wanted to do 8 x 150m with full recovery but only got 3, so definitely fitness issues.. i'm like, why didn't you just finish with 5 tempo nice and relaxed? she agreed, derp. lul.







going to sleep later than i intended................. but my nose is stuffed to fuck. going to be hard getting to sleep i think.

ok trying :/

also.. can't believe MIA got WADE back.

that's awesome and weird.

Holy sheet!

I did not see that coming.

CLE out- Wade, Thomas, Crowder, Frye, Rose, Shumpert

CLE in- 2nd Rd DP, Hood, Hill, Clarkson, Nance Jr,

I wonder how many of these guys had any idea or it's just a case of "the tribe has spoken"

the Tribe aka Lebron ... eek. definitely the latter.

insane.

LMFAO.. such an insane trade(s)

Hmm.. Just ordered this. Whether it was jumping, running, boxing, lifting, or octet warfare -> I often end up focusing on mental components. This seems like my kind of book

"""
A suitably versatile definition that I like, borrowing from researcher Samuele Marcora, is that endurance is “the struggle to continue against a mounting desire to stop.” That’s actually Marcora’s description of “effort” rather than endurance, but it captures both the physical and mental aspects of endurance. What’s crucial is the need to override what your instincts are telling you to do (slow down, back off, give up) and the sense of elapsed time. Taking a punch without flinching requires self-control, but endurance implies something more sustained: holding your finger in the flame long enough to feel the heat; filling the unforgiving minute with 60 seconds’ worth of distance run.
"""

Also, regardless of whether or not you are a Malcolm Gladwell fan, he wrote the Foreword, and he's also surprisingly fast: 4:54 mile @ 51 years old in 2014.🏃‍♂️/tangent.
