Shoes / Re: Misc Running Shoes

needed something for long road training, to protect my feet more, make my legs stronger (heavier shoes), and spare my racing flats the "extra miles".

picked up Brooks these today:

Feel really good.. Tried on some Saucony's and New Balance's, didn't come close to these. The guy at the store (who I met at some races), suggested them to me. He brought me out a few pair, and this was the last one, which he said he thought i'd prefer. cool. went well.

:D

Morning BW: 71.7kg [ :wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf: wut]

Notes

No workout. Calves quite sore. Upper body still pretty sore. Seems like as good a day as any to take a total rest. Surprised by this low weigh in. I ate at least 2400kcal. I did have to do quite a lot of walking, and I guess running is more energy intensive than lifting. Still, probably a bit of an anomaly?

Signed up for a 5k next Friday, the 26th...

^^ :wowthatwasnutswtf: :ibrunning: :ibrunning: :ibrunning: :ibrunning:

awesome!!

South Florida running is getting alot more pro lately.. Look at these two "posters" from this Loco Rio "club/community". They are the ones I ran with for the ultra relay.



^^ those are some solid training sessions.

Loco Rio is proud to announce the launch of the Pronghorn Racing Team.

The pronghorn antelope is the fastest land animal in North America and can run 55 mph for half a mile and 35 mph for 4 miles! We felt "Pronghorns" was the ideal name for our racing team because of their blazing speed and legendary endurance.

The standards are tough (faster than a BQ for the marathon), but we want qualifying for the Pronghorn Racing Team to be a challenge and an achievement.

We will continue our committment to runners of all levels and the racing team will just be an added feature of Loco Rio.

#locorio #pronghornracing #nolimits #trialofmiles


That's impressive... this team is raising the bar. Looks like they are going to compete with "Runner's Depot", who seems to dominate the local running scene around here. RDepot & Loco Rio also work together tho, RDepot sponsors stuff & contributes etc. I like this Loco Rio approach tho, those posters are impressive.

I'm going to their long run this saturday, 10 mile tempo @ ~7 min/mi.

ya that's something that should definitely help alot. the key though is, to make sure you are ALWAYS properly fueled up for important training sessions/races/competitions etc. I mean that was my theory before hand, and what I found in practice. The biggest mistake people make when trying to lean out, is not having enough fuel to train "properly hard". Training itself should not suffer. So that's the delicate balance - finding a way to eat "lighter"  and/or leveraging timing/meal frequency etc, to shed more fat, but also making sure that it isn't tapping into recovery or performance.

I wish it was "easier" for me to get lean. I mean I can put in tons of work and still have significant layers of bodyfat throughout. That body fat is definitely useless, would love if it just disappeared :D Running economy improves considerably the leaner you are, from my experience.

peace!

This is actually where I'm stuck. Still doing IF for the most part but I just don't think it's going to work. Doing it while lifting only is easy AF. I can train on BCAAs and caffeine and then make up everything else at the end of the day.

exactly .. non-stop effort changes the game dramatically.

Quote
Adding in running, swimming, cycling, etc is way harder. Don't know if that and IF is possible but I'd imagine probably not. That's a huge stumbling block for me and I can feel it when I'm training.

yea damn. You are meticulous and good at figuring things out so, I imagine you'll come up with something that works for you.

For me, as long as I eat good the day before, then fuel up "slightly" before a workout, i'm fine.

For me lately, just some oatmeal w/ honey gives me enough to get a workout going. So, when I wakeup, knock out a small breakfast and i'm good for the track etc. Same thing for races as well, but I like my no-sauce pizza slices :D Key being, just has to be something. Definitely can't be just coffee/bcaa's etc -> I tried just coffee before one race and almost died (that's what it felt like, death).

Quote
As far as bodyfat goes I seem to drop it pretty well when I eat relatively clean and don't drink too much. Getting that consistency is hard though but I really want to get to around 10 as like you said pretty much everything improves.

yup! nice. not drinking too much is an easy thing to knock off, or should be at least!

i'm probably back to like 11% or something, it's ridiculous lol. The leanest I got was on 2x/day ~90+ miles per week. Mileage really does matter in my experience. With that mileage, I just couldn't-NOT (lol) drop fat. It's easy to hit that mileage too. It's not as hard as people think. 2x/day running makes it easy. And, if you're in a base phase with no competitions coming up, it's very simple to do IMHO. The problem is when you have races and stuff coming up, that kind of training can make you alot slower, CNS is just poop. You can still knockout some good 5k+ races/times but, mile & below really suffer IMHO.

peace!

Nutrition & Supplementation / The GUILT/SCARE you into going/staying vegan thread
« on: January 18, 2018, 06:34:17 am »
This thread is for occasionally bad images/videos regarding the meat/animal product industry.

Well, it'd be nice not to have extremely crazy videos in here -> that stuff can be very disturbing.

Here's a more acceptable video (go to the IG and swipe right for the other two videos) perhaps, that does a good job at driving home the point:



Anyway.. I post lots of food with animal protein but, I always feel bad eating it. Eating animal products bothers me. When I cut out whey/dairy etc, the only thing I could think of was -> eat more animal protein. But, now i'm going to cut out animal products and eat more whey (+ normal food). So I guess that means i'm going to try and go back to being lacto-vegan but not drinking milk, just supplementing whey. who knows, it's annoying. Wish I could just eat yams all day and recover properly. bleh.
