those are random-looking distances. how did you settle on 1.67 as a target? or 0.71?

ya. my new training ideology (I experimented with this last year, but I have a better idea of how to do it now). trying to remove distance & interval-like quit signals from my brain, and think instead of holding various paces.

for the 1.67, I started in a weird spot on the track and tried really hard not to count laps or think about the accumulated distance. Just tried to hold 5:2X for as long as possible.

for the 0.71, just tried to hold 4:5X pace for as long as possible and when that became hard, burn it out with 4:4X or lower.

i'm trying to "deprogram" the quit signals out of my brain. I'm also trying to conquer that initial fear of getting started on a long, hard effort. My brain/body wants me to hold back, need to kill that inhibition.

So no more intervals .. just pick paces (lots of different variations), and hold on for as long as possible. This reminds me more of going out and trying to land hard dunks & PR jumps every session.

bw- 91ish

Had nothing planned for today but had some spare time so decided to get something in.

KB swings- 16kgs x 100
Bottoms up KB press- 3 x 10 @ 6kgs
KB Swings- 16kgs x 100

Bike Trainer- 30 mins at easy/moderate pace

Bike was interesting. Quads hated me for the first 5 mins and it was pretty easy after that. Did a sprint for the last 20 seconds which was great and awful at the same time.

Goals-
Have a mini tri locked in for Feb 4 (exactly 8 weeks). Only 250m swim, 10k ride and 3k run so the distances aren't great. I want to smash it though and not just finish to say I did one. Training is largely going to remain the same with the exception of adding in some swimming and biking on top of the already planned running.

By the numbers-
bw- 86 (4kgs in 8 weeks seems reasonable)
Everything else will be business as usual

whooa nice @ mini tri!!

get it!

btw some woman i saw comment on my ironman friends FB, i looked up her ironman stats, something like a full in 9h4m .. all I know is that is insanely good. Full ironman people are nuts. :ninja:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironman_Triathlon

Damn this Chrissie Wellington woman dominates the WR's for female ironman.

Can't believe the marathon times for both the men and women, in that event. mind blowing.

- run 6.0 km in 29:43
struggle bus

- stretch

whacked the hell out of my knee on the corner of the bed last night. hurt a bit starting out this morning. shoulder is also on a downswing.

lmao stuff like that is the worst.. sometimes (rarely) I whack my knee getting into my car, knee hits something below the dash and just wrecks it. have actually had it swell up before (way back).

things i do on occasion: stub my toe, bang my head, bang my shoulder, bang my elbow, bang my knee, step on a rock outside barefoot and experience neural shutdown (the worst) lmao, bite my lip really bad (actually this is the worst - because once you do it, it'll happen several more times in the near future).

1/09 French contrast sprints

French contrast set A *2:

-SS1a :DL off 3" blocks:
365*3
365*1+1+1+1+1
-SS1b: sprint treadmill 2*3 6-8 sec intervals
-SS1c: alt step up jumps 2*10
-SS1d: overspeed band assisted sprints 2*6*10Y
-ME 15Y Sprints 2x4

French contrast set B:

-SS2a: hip flexor ISO with 50 lbs *10
-SS2b: RFD hanging leg raises *25
-SS2c: RFD cable knee drives 30lbs*10 ea side
-SS2d: overspeed sprints 15Y *6
ME sprints 40y x4

Sprints felt very fast after the last FC set, I especially feel that this might be helpful for top speed. My turnover felt faster than usual. Do not recommend using DL with French contrast, will do trap bar next time.

Calves are RIDICULOUSLY sore from those myo sets yesterday.

interesting session. seems intense as fu*k!

Sonja Friend-Uhl - elite masters female, also a masters WR holder:

https://www.athlinks.com/athletes/138920302/results

246 races, but 2017 isn't filled out at all.. probably 260 races lool.


Spencer West

https://www.athlinks.com/athletes/50969959/results

~190 races.



Just two people in the local scene who are high level masters runners. So much experience. It's not rare for them to beat everyone either. They've beat me in every race too :D though the gap is closing lately.. :ninja:



Also, boca mile was 4:17 / 4:18 for top 2 in 2013, crazy:

good session. ~0.71 mi was really good, watch lied to me though, told me ~4:40 pace through the first 100m, turns out it was ~5:05, so that screwed me up a bit. Regardless i'm in the overall ballpark with these ~km efforts. Need to get them consistently under 3min though.

previous PR for ~1.5 mi was ~1.45 mi @ 5:40 pace I think. would have to look it up. so decent PR (more distance, faster pace).

expecting a video of scoob trying RL takeoff and not being able to touch the rim.. that's just what he needs though, switch it up right at the very moment he's about to crush one. :uhhhfacepalm:

tons of elite dunkers do LR-R.

just one, to motivate scoob not to care about changing to RL-R right now.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHwmgmgwf8k" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHwmgmgwf8k</a>

or how about KWE:

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

or how about Porter:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWjOhVw7WD8" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWjOhVw7WD8</a>

or how about Dexton:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kke7diy6i5w" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kke7diy6i5w</a>

I could probably drop like 100 dunkers in here who are LR-R........

After he starts landing some, then it will be more acceptable for him to try RL-R, but until then, makes no sense to me to switch it up right now. I'm sure he's actually tried some RL jumps and they probably feel horrible, that's why he does LR's.

By telling someone to try RL at this stage, it's like asking them to move away from their strength. There's a reason he jumps LR, left leg is probably his strongest leg.

Also, even in basketball philosophy, LR makes more sense for a righty. If someone is a righty, they do layups off of their left leg. So generally the left leg going into the plant should be the strongest leg. It's like you're telling someone to try a right handed layup by jumping off of their right leg, that's how awkward trying to switch from LR to RL is (or visa versa) for someone who is a natural LR planter.

ps: I understand that RL-R theoretically gives you more time/room to land a dunk, but not if you get up way lower in the jump itself or lack the coordination. So it's just not a theory i'd mess with until LR-R land often. Look at Isaaih Rivera, spent so much time trying to master RL-R, still hasn't. But he did that after he already reached near-elite dunker status. It's the same story for alot of dunkers who try acquiring RL-R and LR-L.
