some article about Parker Stinson's performance at CIM:
https://ovalsandtrails.com/blog/2017/12/5/parker-stinsons-performance-at-the-us-marathon-championships-was-heroic
in a nutshell, dude gunned it all by himself.. takes guts. would have been amazing if he didn't blow up. missed a fluid station @ mile 20, so might have had something to do with blowing up.
On a side note, i'd love to see elite marathons where fluids/sugars/salts etc, were banned, unless you are carrying them on you. That'd be cool. It would at least have to be in a decent climate (very cool temps).

i wouldn't guess 160, but i'd probably guess 150 or so. he def looks like he has some extra muscle to me.
definitely more of thick build to me, for sure.
160 is hard to believe at 5'10. he's jacked.
Body fat must be close to 5% no?
yup, def looks like it.

What i've noticed with Almond milk: seems to really sooth my stomach & I can't recall ever bloating up from it.

man that sux about the back tweak. how bad is it? Those kinds of tweaks seem much more of a probability when mixing heavy strength reps with explosive jumps/landings from my experience too.. mostly knee/ankle tweaks for me though.
415x1 in there seems pretty intense though, especially after repping 365. pretty big jump in weight.
hope it's nothing.

FWIW I mentioned the PR train in the other thread, b4 seeing you mention it.. lmao!
yup, this is great stuff.
how did those sprints feel a few days ago? you feeling any differences lately, in part due to your PR's?
also, sprints before bench is pretty solid.

Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: ADARQ's journal
« on: December 05, 2017, 01:43:35 am »
btw.. as you can tell from my last few workouts, i'm tired of doing "intervals" and stuff like that.
I want to get back to my "hang on" theories and such .. picking paces, trying to hang on to them for as long as possible. Including variations of that, oscillating paces, drop-set style paces, etc. But the central idea being "keep going until you can't maintain that pace anymore" (within an acceptable range, ie +5s).
I just feel like I quit "too easy" lately. Everyone does intervals, and I feel they improve fitness, but mentally, I think they are a problem for me.. ie, I can hit a solid 4 x 400m with 100m jog rest, but then I worry about running a mile full out.. That is a major problem.
So, no more intervals for me for a while.. Going to do what i've been doing the last few sessions and "pick paces" and hold them for as long as possible.
ie, if I want to hit a mile comfortably, I could pick 5:2X pace, but, I need to keep it going if i'm able, so it's no longer a "mile" effort.. it's simply a 5:2X pace effort and see how long I can hold it. It could become a 1.5 mile effort, or even 2 mile, who knows, but the idea will be to find out. In the same sense, I can pick crazy fast paces, and see how long I can hold those (4:3X etc). Or I can mix things up like I did today.
anyway .. just need to unlearn how to quit.
ok i'm up way too late.
gn!

About to sleep, and just saw this:
FEAR - Forget everything and run.
Don't recall ever seeing that before....... solid.
