So I'm coming to realize that the quad-dominant running I naturally gravitate to is much faster than the "perfect top speed mechanics" I try to force myself to do. It's mostly just a matter of stride frequency, I feel like when I have a strong forward lean I can move my legs so much faster and still get decent stride length. Will shoot video at some point comparing the two.
What's your goal?
Nice idea. My goal is to run 1 mile as fast as kipchoge can average for 26.2.. at 5.06 currently, lmao
@andrewdarqui ha good idea. Then move to 5k...
andrewdarquiYa @kenya_experience_iten hah thanks! Ya you nailed it. My approach is short to long. Figure out how to really run beautifully for 1, a relaxed, fast, sub 5 mile. then figure out how to stack them consecutively. "Becoming Kipchoge" for 1 is the first step for me. To me this is so important, because until I can do that, I just feel like I don't truly understand running. So if i literally have to put in 100 miles a week to run one beautiful mile, ill do that. Hah. Peace!
@andrewdarqui that's basically the Kenyan way. Just hit it hard at the front until you can't hold on any longer
andrewdarqui flip flops = "nonsense", now it makes sense. lmao.
nonsense_sportstraining @andrewdarqui yes the flip flops. But you have no clue why he is wearing nor do you care to understand which is cool but it worked for @justflysports and that is all that matters.
andrewdarqui @nonsense_sportstraining if you you assume I don't care to know, that's on you, and you'd be wrong. However, if you assume that I think it's useless, you'd be correct. Feel free to explain it and educate me, or not - and keep it magical. Im glad it "works" for joel. Bye.

Quick story.. #tldr, this is Gene #Witkowski.. if you do #running races in #florida, this is the guy who most likely certified that course for #usatf... 💪 saw the bumper stickers on this van, made me lol, snapped a few #photos, then I hear this voice say "that's my car you're taking photos of", so i start cracking up and ask him about some of them.. so we started talking #politics, lots of head shaking on both our parts, basically we agreed that everything is a mess... 😎 anyway he told me all about the usatf certification process and a little about his time in the #military #okinawa #veteran #war #marines #ww2. If you see a van driving around at 4am on the wrong side of the road, that's probably Gene... lmfao. #gooddude #runningstories

Track-
Need to stop being soo fkn lazy and get out and put in some fitness.
maybe do some really early morning workouts on the track? just nice and light tempo sprints, while the sun is coming up? Just wakeup early, get some fluids in, get out there, and enjoy the fresh air. there is just something about being out there so early as the current section of "earth" is "booting up".
to me, there's something very powerful in that setting.. feels very "clean" and "pure". LBSS kind of mentioned something about that too recently in his journal. I think just beyond the symbolism of it, there's also the (circadian) rhythm / human evolution side of it.
dno just a thought!
fwiw, training as the sun is setting feels great also.. those two opposite ends of the spectrum feel amazing to me.
peace!
I know exactly what you mean! There's a great quote from Maurice Greene talking about waking up early to run.
I love running in the evenings though especially in summer here where the days are 100+ degrees Fahrenheit. Having the motivation to wake up early is what separates the best from the rest. I've got to stop being a night owl and get to bed earlier so I can get the sleep in.
I finally made it to the track!!!
7x100m with 2 minutes rest between each 100m.
The times ranged between 14.4 to 13.1 for each set except for the last set. On the 7th 100m I was feeling good so I decided to push the pace and ran 12.4. There was no way I would have been able to recover in 2 minutes to do an 8th repeat 100m after the last 100m. The 12.4 definitely wasn't 100% though probably more like low 90% effort in terms of pushing it.

regarding the race tomorrow, whether should be rainy, humid, not too hot, and crazy windy - but the initial ~1.5 mi might be a tail wind
some stuff from last year's race:

very similar to my last race actually ... except 9 seconds slower for the first mile.
feel pretty good right now, calf feels fine unless i manually stretch it .. so tomorrow it'll probably be good. if it gives me any signs of not being good, will just trot it out.
it's funny, if I were to hit these splits:
1. 5:00
2. 6:30
3. 6:30
that'd be 18 over 3, plus ~30-40s over 0.1 .. so an 18:30-18:40 5k, if I run a 5k like a "1 mile test" + "2 mile cooldown".. lmfao.
if I hit these splits:
1. 5:00
2. 6:15
3. 6:15
that's 17:30 over 3, close to sub 18.
if I hit these splits:
1. 5:00
2. 6:00
3. 6:00
that's 17:00 over 3...
that's pretty funny..
imagine hitting like:
1. 4:30
2. 6:00
3. 6:00
16:30 over 3, probably sub 17 for 5k.
hah.
1 mile hard, 2 mile cooldown could be a winning strategy locally. that's hilarious.
I'm excited to see how you go!
PR NATION!!!
