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. :ibrunning: :ibrunning: :ibrunning: :headbang: :wowthatwasnutswtf:

not so much for photos, but for links to photographers.

hope you get that run in! some solid progress/sessions lately.

it's been hard for me to get to sleep early lately too .. cutting out those 2x/day sessions seems to be the culprit. Had lots of incentive to wakeup early and get some light running in.. now without it, just staying up late computering. Need to fix it somewhat, asap. :uhhhfacepalm:

didn't journal the last few days because, mostly just race results & a TON of eating afterwards.. ate healthy, but alot. healthy pizza, lentils, 2 x chicken sandwich, almond milk, coconut water, green/black tea etc.

was so heavy this morning that it was surprising (143), but within an hour I was 139 (even after drinking fluids), just shed a ton of extra water I was holding.

also i'm really annoyed .. feel like i'm scared to push my speed .. reminiscent of trying to hit 11' when verting .. making me angry and more aggressive.

bw = 143 (139 an hour or so later)
bw before bed last night = 146
soreness = quads slightly (left moderate), hamstrings slightly (left moderate)
aches/injuries = none
cramping = none
morning quad flexibility = loose
morning hamstring flexibility = loose
morning calf flexibility = loose
feel = good

wakeup = 7 AM

log:
07:15 AM: food: 2 x almond milk, water
12:30 PM: food: bagel joint: sausage egg and cheese on pumpernickel, chocolate muffin, orange juice
01:00 PM: food: whole foods: berry smoothie, mac & cheese, orange chicken
- ate dirty as fuck, felt like crap afterwards
03:00 PM: nap: 2.5 hours
05:30 PM: food: tall glass of coconut water
- bloated me up
- going to decrease coconut water intake as well
- more water .. pure, f'n, water.
08:00 PM: workout: better numbers than saturday's race - lol: 5:11 mixed effort mile (moderate into hard), 3:04 mixed effort km (hard into moderate into hard). FASTEST MILE & 1KM BY MYSELF (nice). also used my lap key to break each effort into stages, will analyze later...
10:00 PM: food: 2 x almond milk, tons of water, basically a half a loaf of sourdough rye (so ridiculous, couldn't stop eating it.. got it today, so fresh & crunchy).

- also hit some ~15s 100's and some ~500m @ < 4:30 min/mi etc.
- but need to stop caring as much about all that stuff, and just keep trying to get PR's

left quad/ham sore.

just need to stop being "afraid" of running fast. I can run kinda fast. I just need to man the F up. then i'll run alot faster :D









pretty solid.

simple explanation: your arms have mass. holding them in front of yourself shifts your center of gravity forward, which makes it easier to balance as you squat. the more mobile your hips and ankles, the easier it is to squat without sitting back.

I can also do the same thing with my arms crossed with each hand touching the opposite shoulder. But with each hand above my shoulder just makes it awkward.

it's mobility + COM (like LBSS) said.. to maintain your COM, body shifts into positions where mobility becomes an issue.

you can try and "feel" what's tight in those positions, and then try and loosen them up & try again, and see if there's any improvement.. ie, if soleus/gastrocs feel tight when descending, static stretching + mobility can improve subsequent attempts etc.

but ya, it's a combo of things going on.

for me, i can stretch my soleus/gastrocs like crazy, then hit some nicer "deep squat" reps.

Classic Muhammad Ali vs Chuck Wepner

Ali get's knocked down and comes back harder and just unleashes hell on this guy lol.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_c2c5AgdbI" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_c2c5AgdbI</a>

great clip, and ya Ali unleashed hell on him that was nuts. I just hate how Ali absorbed punishment, so brutal to watch considering we know how it turned out for him. Just lying against the ropes getting pummeled, even if it was through his gloves, it still rattles the brain. I hate rope-a-dope.

also incredible how differently people respond to head trauma, Wepner looks really sharp in his older age, narrating the clip.

thankd Adarq, i read the whole thing :)

This got my attention:

Not a  rec coaches, or even some of the weak high school coaches...

now i guess i need to find someone qualify for a short session just to get us in the right direction avoiding common false.

Thanks again for taking ur time to reply. both adarq and LBSS.

nice! np!

and yes, when trying to teach kids the right thing when it comes to the technical side of things, qualified/skilled/experienced coaches are essential.

My favorite conversion , once again:
2:05 marathon = 420 consecutive no rest 100m runs, 17.85 seconds each.

:motherofgod: :motherofgod: :motherofgod:

yup.. it's absolutely incredible.

and the improvement of Moen is incredible. If you get bored, wonder what his 100m's improved to, going from 2:12:47 to 2:05:48 :D :ninja: :highfive: :ibrunning:



I was putting it into perspective for my Aunt yesterday .. I was telling her that the guy who won yesterday's 1 mile race @ 4:33, well, the best marathoner in the world (Kipchoge) runs 26.2 miles at basically that pace (4:35) (2:00:32 for breaking2).

she wuz like. wot.
