toe...midfoot...heel

yea, beautiful.

and he's the slowest of the pack.........  :trollface:

other two have different form, which is what makes it an extra cool clip. white shirt is more traditional midfoot, yellow socks/nikes is more heel->toe.

the guy with more forefoot runs most graceful though, that's for sure.. looks amazing.

yeah i meant that one is landing toe-first, one midfoot-first, one heel-first. all clearly elite.

ahhhhh.. nice, my bad. also, funny how the order of toe->midfoot->heel, describes the first runner's strike itself, hah.

exactly.

yup, such a great clip.

word, think i'm gonna get myself a garmin for my birthday. now just need to figure out which one. don't want a smartwatch, do want something that tells me how fast i'm going, has an interval timer/stopwatch, and syncs easily with mapmyrun.

awesome. ya man you will love it. will make you want to run even more too, hehe.

it's cool in a race when everyone's watch beeps at basically the same time.. things are really accurate.

Boston is going to run out of gas midseason without Hayward imo, just puts so much more pressure on tatum, brown and co when he's out. Marcus smart looks so tough this year, might be most improved player of the year.

But boston is still going to be tough, they still have morris that can fill in for hayward, who's prob done for the season tbh.....

Cavs are going to be tough but though people say lebron is still in his prime, i disagree. His skills/experience is at his prime, but his lateral speed is really not there like before.... his explosiveness is still there as well obv..... but lateral speed is so important on defense..... u can't always expect to make up for it with chase down blocks.....

Lebron definitely looked "older" last night, which is still nuts considering how good he played. But, that could be related to his ankle .. he could have been extra cautious. We'll see like 10 games in, but last night had me finally seeing some "aging". I personally hope it's just the ankle.

- run 0.5km in 2:22

- running warm ups/drills x 4 mins
ugly, but that's okay, just wanted to limber up a bit.

- interval run 0.5km x 3 (0.2km walking rest)
1:26, 1:29, 1:59. last one seems like i slowed down before i meant to, which is annoying. still, too hard. need to find the sweet spot at 4:00/km for tempo. try again next week.

yea you were way under 4:00/km with the first two.. those first two were like 3:00/km or less!

so you want to hit those at 2:00 per 500m, to get to 4:00/km pace? seems easily doable given the 3 you just hit, so ya it's mostly about feel. Just hold back way more initially.

when I want to relax more, I get this song in my head and may hum it, not sure why, but it pops into my head alot at the beginning of hard workouts.. it's weird lmfao.. Mercy Me - Marvin Gaye: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WxgeYXCjM8

sometimes before I do harder sprints, I say "jamaica jamaaaicaa", or "blaka!!" lmfao.

again not sure why, I mean I get the association between jamaica and sprinting.. but these "totems" seem to just exist for me, it's kinda odd. lmao.

From what I saw the CLE v BOS game was pretty interesting. I especially loved Rose guarding Irving and going at Irving on the other end. Also D Wade's block in the last few minutes and then his oop to Bron. How many times have we seen that.

Also, does anyone know what was with Horford? He was getting might worked up there and I think got a tech foul for his troubles.

horford seemed extra emotional after the injury to hayward.. think that had something to do with it IMHO.

It was Lebron's fault tbh, he got to the alley oop a bit late even though he read the situation precisely and sorta close lined Gordon against jae crowder

 :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

x2

:o

if anything, hayward was way too over ambitious on that oop.. jumped from way too far out. freak accident though.

yes, this is the problem with my intervals: i'm much less fit than you but running 500s at a slightly harder pace than your 400s. must find chiller pace.

ya if you notice I write "relaxed speed" etc alot now.. because my problem last year, was forcing it. So, i'd be just activating too much fast twitch fiber and basically sprinting, rather than really trying to hit a pace that I can sustain for alot longer, by really relaxing, staying loose, not picking up my stride frequency too much etc.

one of the "tricks" (basics) these Kenyans use, from what i've seen. So much to learn from them, they have mastered running & everything that goes into it.

also I didn't look at my watch during any of those intervals, until the end of each interval. Sometimes I don't even look at the watch at all, not even after the intervals, then I look at it when I get home. This is another great way to not "stress yourself out" and force the speed. By not looking at the watch during the interval, you just focus more internally - which is extremely important. So getting a watch is great but it can also wreck you, if you "use it wrong".

should get watch.

garmin forerunner series is such a great investment. I have one of the older models (forerunner 15), but it's perfect. Joe has one of the newer models, gives him HR via wrist etc.

GPS watches are like power racks for runners.. best running investment ever.

:D

peace!

- avocado toast = epic .. ill IG it tmw maybe
05:00 PM: 1/2 sweet green tea
05:30 PM: workout: track/speed
07:30 PM: 1/2 sweet green tea
08:00 PM: 2 x 2% milk
09:00 PM: 1 x sour dough toasted, dipped in a bunch of olive oil + salt + black pepper, 2% milk, 2 x water w/ lemon



stretch:
- soleus during dishes



workout: morning relaxed speed, drills during full recovery, no looking at watch: 1-mi (very light, 8:00), 1-mi (light, 6:36, surprised me), 3 x ~1km @ {5:31 mm, 5:37 mm, 5:29 mm}, cooldown 5k (fail, stomach cramps, park water = bad?? eek)
nice session. started it too late though.

think the park water is bad, i was wrecked immediately after i drank it.

https://www.strava.com/activities/1234450441







workout: track with GFLRRC: 420m (74.4/4:50mm), 200m (34.2/4:37mm), 400m (71.6/4:48mm), 200m (32.9/4:26mm), 400m (74.9/5:01mm), 200m (34.1/4:42mm), 2 x 400m (72.5/4:53mm, 77.2/5:19mm), 3 x 200m (33.2/4:35mm, 31.8/4:27mm, 31.5/4:24), opened it up, 200m rest
- https://www.strava.com/activities/1235366717

opened it up quite a bit, pushed it nicely. The best thing about this session was the last three 200m's, those really exploded, and my cadence was LESS than any of my previous intervals. All of the previous intervals were ~190 to ~195 SPM... The last three 200's were all < 190 {187, 186, 189}, with really solid stride length {1.88, 1.94, 1.93}..

So those last three 200's felt absolutely ridiculous.. that's the kind of form I need to hold for a mile, only 1409m to go. :D That would be ridiculous.. I just love that rhythm.

solid session!!

tomorrow = very light day.







the sky was kinda ridiculous after the track session..





140.0 after workout... with a bit of extra water in me (drank a glass right when i got home).

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 :/

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMkUHM0eOZA" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMkUHM0eOZA</a>

https://www.runnersworld.com/rt-web-exclusive/doubling-and-tripling-performance-incentives

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.
