No more doubles for me, for a while. Time to start reducing run volume. Also going to do more relaxed speed. Probably going to walk tonight, recovery, then some relaxed speed tmw morning. Have a decent speed session on Tuesday which I may cut the volume a bit for. Need to recover more for 12/2, 12/6, 12/13 mile races, and finally a 12/17 5k.

Also i'm 139 right now, which means I must have lost some serious water this morning, because I ate alot after the race. It was weird, 67F or so at 6:30 AM, 77F or so to start the race, and by the end it was 72F lmao. It went up and back down.

moral of the story, don't piss off or doubt lebron. He might have to work harder to play like his old self, but he's damn sure going to try. He's the kind of guy, to me, who really feeds off of the negativity/"haters".

but ya he's looking good again. interesting.

sigh, heats beat my celtics and minnesota lately....

yup.

Heat have a really good squad.. was just flipping thru channels and saw they were "Stephen A Smith's sleeper", lol, whatever that's worth.

To me, they look like a playoff team this year, and a dangerous one at that.. lots of weapons, extremely athletic unit too.

nutritional strategy = mostly failure

good news is I didn't cramp. bad news is, I had no energy. hit a "wall" at like 1 mile, had to fight hard to keep the pace down to 1.5.. after that it was hell.

still got 3rd overall, and hit like 19:20 or something I dno.

lead for 1.5 like I planned though.. 5.30 first mile. Was all by myself so, didn't have a race stimulus until ~1.4.

yeah it wasn't a comment so much about quantity as about content. you're adding and taking away whole categories of food all at once, that alone could be messing with you.

definitely. i figured you meant that as well.

sleep sucked, but feel decent. about to down this coffee drink, which i made differently, similar to my teas yesterday. Instead of drinking it cold, and having it with 3 x grapefruit and avocado, i'm simply having:

Heat up the black coffee drink with some almond milk, pink sea salt (10 twists), black pepper (just 2 twists), and 3 tspn cane sugar. Only problem is it's taking forever to cool down, I boiled it. HEH.

So added a few other ingredients just to get some sugar, fat, protein, and salt in there.

Stomach is flat, feel light, look light, weigh light (137) .. but I do hear some rumblings in my stomach, more so from just being hungry I think. Which was another goal, wanted to be hungry in the morning and then just get the liquids in, not food. Once I down this coffee drink, I don't think it will be rumbling for a while.

might be irrelevant, but how are you doing in terms of 1 foot jumping? seems like specifically 1 foot jumping fits in better with your distance running, rather than 2 foot jumping. just curious too because i'm gonna focus on my 1 foot too now lol

yo!!

Haven't been jumping at all :/

Last year, jumping wasn't too impacted with running, with ~30-50 miles a week. Just had to jumping ~3-5x/wk, ie in between runs, before runs, etc. Then if I took a day or two off, and focused simply on jumping, i'd jump pretty decent.

IIRC, I got my L-SLRVJ up to ~32-33" last year while running? I forget, but I did hit some serious jumps while not doing any lifting, running alot, and jumping alot.

So it's doable, especially if you are "built better for SLRVJ" for example.

peace!!

oh i see. yea that fit in well with your endurance training. dunno how to explain it, but does it ever feel like 1 foot jumping is another thing apart from 2 foot jumping? 2 foot seems so power/strength/muscle oriented sometimes whereas 1 foot is like more bouncy/leverage dominant/whatever you call it lol.

definitely.. SLRVJ and DLRVJ feel like two completely different things to me.

SLRVJ for me is extremely reactive, very dependent on speed.
DLRVJ is very strength dominant to me, though reactivity is obviously important, very dependent on psyche up.

Both of which improved considerably with strength training, when I was lifting. But SLRVJ itself (for me) can improve considerably with no strength training, while DLRVJ is very hard to improve without lifting.

That's my experience with both of them, which is similar to your assessment.

Race strategy!!! yay!!

I'm one for two (1/2) on this so far. Success last week, complete failure yesterday. So let's see how this goes. :ninja:

Last year's race:

https://www.strava.com/activities/779789036/overview
- splits: 5:19, 6:04, 6:19, no sprint finish (5:56 min/mi)
- 4th overall, 1st in 30-34
- 18:22 official, 18:16 watch
- 2 mile: 11:19 (still my best 2 mile!!!)

Ok so I just remembered, this course has a motorcycle cop lead .. which amps me the F up. I run better with that stimulus: it's intense.

I don't see how i'm going to put together anything amazing tomorrow, don't feel too great, though I have improved quite a bit since I drank that first tea around 5 PM ET. Body/stomach felt dead before that, now both feel decent. Might feel good tomorrow.

Going to keep it conservative:
- HARD 1.5 miles out
- moderate 1.25 miles back ~6 min/mi, which would still have me way under 6 min/mi average if I hit the first 1.5 at 5:2X.
- HARD finish - would help me get back under even more, closer to sub 5:50 pace I think

Last year, my first mile was 5:19, so really pushing it. I was dead by then, and was ~5:50-6 min/mi pace for the next 0.5 miles. So at the 1.5 mile point, which is the turn around, I had PR'd my watch based mile and then died for the next 0.5.

So this year i'd like to hit that first mile similarly hard, but just keep it going for the next 0.5, as much as possible. Once I hit that turn around, i'll re-asses and maybe shut it down a bit, but then use that as some "recovery" before trying to hit a really hard quarter to close it out.

I'd like to hit the first 1.5 miles @ 5:2X pace at least. So that's pretty much the goal here.

dno, sounds like a solid goal for tomorrow given how bad Thursday went.

also, I think i'm going to run shirtless.. lmfao.

peace!!!!

Dehydration and GI distress:

The problem with dehydration and GI distress is that it becomes a vicious cycle. In order to hydrate a runner needs to consume, and keep down, fluids. But, without the necessary blood blow, an athlete’s stomach rejects those fluids by sending them up or down.

As for me the other day, not sure how I could have been dehydrated, but it's possible. MAYBE I ate TOO MUCH, and had too little liquid to help process all of the food, causing my stomach to become chaotic.. That's something I was thinking about before even searching.

That could be a very real possibility... Eating TOO much, without enough liquid to help process it. As compared to eating lighter and drinking the same amount of fluids, having more than enough liquid available.

I think that makes some sense..

Testing this out.

In another installment of, "this is why we journal", I show you some "cramping" talk from 2011:

wanted to dunk today but indoor gym wasnt open soo.... maybe tomorrow or tuesday.

early session #1:

5 mile run = fail.. i always run worse earlier on, it'sl ike my body isn't awake.. combine that with the fact that i cramped bad, and it took me 1 hour to go 5 miles.. hah.. pathetic... cramp was major.

~10 mile run, cramped up AGAIN fml.. ran really good though, real fast pace.

tons of milk, all liquids today.. tons of milk/protein drinks.

sleep = 12 hours + 2 hour nap <-- :D

training: 10 mile run (relaxed arms) in 1 hour 10 minutes, a few stops for traffic lights and one quick piss break.. pace was really good & relaxed for 9 of the 10 miles, no cramping.. last mile was very fast.. starting to get happy.



and... I fell off shortly after that & began my long detraining phase :/

Also disregard mileage talk & times, that could be way off.

Anyway, this is something i've always dealt with, with running. So back then, transitioning into running from dunking, I distinctly remember some of these runs and how annoyed I was of getting shut down with cramps/stomach issues. I'm not backing down from it this time around, i'll figure it out. And if I need some professional experience/testing etc, i'll get it done.



Finally, i'm such a way better journaler now than I was back then.. :ninja: :ninja: :ninja:



Also, just for reference regarding eating:

Hey man, you probably mentioned this somewhere in the last few pages, but why the change to long distance running/eating a ton?

because i want to do official races for fun, 5k's, 10k's, half marathons, and eventually marathons... need to eat a ton, cant mess around with light eating when im focusing on conditioning, or else it'll feel like im running on fumes..

from back then.

weird about stomach. have you thought about talking to a dietician? you're freestyling these adjustments. pro might be able to get some explanation for what types of foods make you feel good and bad and give you a little more structure.

Thanks for the suggestion and ya I have been thinking about that actually. I need to pull the trigger on it maybe towards the end of December or in January etc.

I haven't started researching who to talk to, but I need to find someone who has lots of experience with runners.

Definitely weird about the stomach. Yesterday & last night, I felt like I was going to throw up - often. And my stomach was bloated to fu*k.

Today after both meals (light breakfast & moderate lunch), felt "throw up ish" afterwards. The thing that helped the most today, has been that tea concoction I drank a little bit ago. That had a substantial impact on my stomach, it's interesting.

As for today's freestyle, it's more of a "let's just try not eating as much" approach. Man I really do eat alot, even though i'm so light. If you think about what I ate on Wednesday, prior to Thursday's race, it really is a fuckton of food. So today's approach is to do pretty much the opposite of that, hardly any food, so that in the morning my stomach feels very "flat" and basically empty.

I'm lying down right now as I type this. Last night, while lying down, my stomach was very bloated where, you could see it popping through my shirt and just touching it, it felt "hard". Right now, my stomach is flat and mushy. I can just poke it and it's mushy, compared to feeling like a basketball yesterday/last night.

That kind of sh*t is crazy to me.. and it's such a major issue that I need to figure out.

This experiment i'm doing for tomorrow's race, might not end well, because i'm already wrecked from Thursday. So it's not a true experiment because there's definitely some residual damage from Thursday's melt down. However, if my stomach is flat, empty, and 1) doesn't cramp and 2) doesn't sound like it has fluid jiggling around in it when i'm warming up/running, i'll take that as a success for now.

So in a nutshell, experiment = the day before & the morning before a race, very light eating. Let's not have lots of digestive processes going on in there, or lots of food/fluid/stomach acids in there.

peace!!
