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

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

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.

Believe in yourself even when no one else does. ▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️
Today I tested my limits in my marathon debut. Today I found out my limits were 22 miles at 2:09:55 pace before some severe abdominal cramps and a right calve strain had me walking to the finish line. Next time I'm hoping to make it farther as there are no awards handed out to people for winning 90% of a race. However, I stand by what I said before the race...and I wouldn't change a thing. #YOLO

171201 W10 Max effort Jump Session before weekend
Simply said, all fail. BW as low as 173lbs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atZoGRyX8qk
Coach suggest me to use a better ball with less bounce. (i got this rubber ball with more bounce since it was suggested by a few other dunker on fb.... now i am suppose to use less bouncy ball?)

171203 W10 Weight Session at Sunday Morning

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSGMyvBonUs

I want to squeeze in a session in my busy Sunday
Alarm clock at 730
Body woke at 630
Gym open at 8
Arrive 805 and it is all empty.
Working slow with no pressure.. sept 1.25 hrs at the rack.. Stretch and Steam room..

Using Barbell to do calf raise is new to me.. .so dam hard to balance.. lucky coach tell me to use lighter weight..

My heel have to touch the floor to make it work.. when i set it too high.. i just fall all over the place.
After 1 weekend of normal eating with family... well not very normal.. i ate extra with BBQ buffet and stuff.
BW back to 180.2 lbs (Measured Monday morning after woke up)

a more bouncy ball means you have more control, if you don't want a crazy bouncy ball to bounce as high, you just lob it lower.. not sure why anyone would suggest a less bouncy ball, unless they were talking about dribbling up dunks & trying to palm it.. flatter ball = easier to palm.

i'd stick with the bouncier ball personally.

alot of those from 2:51 and onward were GREAT, extremely aggressive.. keep approaching them like that. those will drop soon, surprised a few didn't go down in that session.
