3x per day just doesn't seem sane/sustainable to me.. Apparently Cam Levins really broke down too, tons of injuries etc.. He just seems way too addicted to the mileage, this video is disturbing to me :/

man I really hate this video.. it's bothering me alot. dude ate 1 fucking motts applesauce after a 10 mile run, and yet he knows he has like 20+ more miles including a hard workout ahead of him.

what the fuck man.

fuck his coach & any1 around him who didn't smack the shit out of him. he's a damn beast but this video is a great example of training addiction.

that's why i force myself to take rest days... and drink milk (protein/fat) after runs etc.

his style just seems so disordered to me.. ie, maybe he could somehow survive on it when he was younger, but as he is aging, he is falling apart.

KENYAN'S DONT DO THAT SHIT. that's all i know. they eat good, sleep, nap, train 2-3x/day but alternate hard/light days.. And Bernard Lagat takes 1 day off per week, mandatory, with 5-6 weeks off per year after his season.

:pissed: :pissed: :pissed: :pissed:

The thing with Cam Levins is .. he'll probably figure this out a few years from now, when he's "too old", and still make a run at something or make another olympics.. just because he'll reduce the volume a bit and eat better etc.

I saw a quote from some olympic track chick today, forget who, but it said in her bio:

things I hate: junk miles

loved that..

Cam Levins is addicted to junk miles.

Furthermore, towards the end of the vid, interviewer asks him if he'd go harder at night on his ez run because of his bad track session, and he admitted yes.. Again, Kenyan runners wouldn't do that. So much discipline.. so you had a bad session, who gives a fuck.. plus they don't look at their watch on light runs etc.

hold me back. ffs.

since i'm returning my saucony compression shorts (awful), just ordered a pair of saucony carrera xc 3's, 1 oz lighter than my new saucony shay xc4's... my severely broken in saucony shay xc4's are probably just as light though. I absolutely love my saucony shay xc4's but they are becoming harder to find. So just going to try these out for fun, I imagine i'll love them. I actually saw some kid (16:XX'r) in early 2016 race with them, one of the few people doing road races in flats like this. He was really impressive.

Jake and Zane Robertson .. very responsive on IG.

instagram.com/runninelvis/



asked them about Kenyan warmups and such, how often, when, how long:

Quote
jakehtbz @andrewdarqui I sometimes do it after a easy run and it will take about 20mins. When I do it pre workout it's for activation rather then strengthening & it takes 6 to 10 mins. Jogging just dosen't awaken all the muscles.

good stuff.

Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: The Pre-competition Nutrition Thread
« on: October 16, 2017, 11:22:06 am »
For running/racing:

Been experimenting with my nutrition, even my pre-race nutrition, this had me feeling perfect. It's only N=1 but, optimistic about it.

2 hours before the race:
- black coffee
- 1 x avocado
- 1 x grapefruit
- coconut water

Very light meal, and contains all of the macros (except for complete protein actually). Stomach was completely settled, most likely because of the avocado (fat content). Legs/body felt great, sugar/electrolytes from grapefruit & coconuter water had me feeling great. Coffee had me amp'd and also helps with the "emptying out phase" which is really important.

FWIW, the day before, I actually reduced my fluid intake a bit, to try and "not urinate as much" before the race. I didn't want to be full of water when I woke up, peeing non-stop. So, I had some coconut water and such, but, as the day went on, only sipped small amounts of it and got the rest of my water from watermelon & grapefruit. That seemed to be a really good idea: since those fruits contain lots of water, not over saturating myself with extra water (water w/ lemon) seemed to work. I did get thirsty a few times and immediately went and drank small amounts of coconut water, only a cup instead of a glass. Also, got in a good amount of protein on this day via chicken (no eggs), and got in a good amount of carbs via a huge sweet potato and the sugar from fruit.

Here's the day before:

http://www.adarq.org/progress-journals-experimental-routines/adarq's-journal/msg136090/#msg136090

So, goals of this experiment were:
#1 - to prevent cramping during the race: Last race I had tons of watermelon, coffee, and a slice of bread.. Just felt way too much stuff bouncing around in my stomach, cramped up.
#2 - reduce bathroom usage: It's just ridiculous. I go to the bathroom so much and i'm light af.
#3 - feel explosive
#4 - have most of my food digested by the time I wake up, hence no heavy food after 6 PM - though, that was supposed to be 4:30 - 5 PM. I think that would have worked even better.

Nutrition & Supplementation / The Pre-competition Nutrition Thread

FDL's post in the elite athletes nutrition thread, made me think we should also separate it out, because nutrition the day of a competition is extremely important by itself.

ya man, if you've noticed I even break up my longer runs alot lately.. imho, it's safer. So instead of 10 miles non stop, breaking it up various ways gives you the same work but perhaps less overuse, ie: (these don't add up exactly)
- 4 x 2 miles with 0.5 walk in between
- 3 x 3 miles with 0.5 walk in between
- 9 x 1 miles with 0.25 walk in between

so the point here is, even for me 5 miles non-stop can create more fatigue than if I split that up. If i'm feeling a bit wrecked, I definitely feel it takes it's toll. Walking in between sets (diced up) feels really good to me. Also feels more natural tbh.

So for you, cutting it back to 3 seems like a smart move, but you can also experiment with something like this eventually:
- 3 miles run, 1 mile walk, 1 mile run
- 3 x 1.5 mile run, light 0.5 mi walk in between each set

etc.. so if you wanted to get that 5 miles worth of work in on some days, don't be afraid of splitting/dicing it up is all i'm saying.. work is work, it has a slightly different training effect when you slice it up but it could be a little safer by allowing for some recovery etc.

peace!
