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.



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.

this thread is turning out to be all dexton.. the passion for jumping is just so respectable though.

he can talk impressively though while running & holding that cam, seems so awkward.

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:

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.

are you getting enough sleep btw? i mean you seem down lately but are putting in some good training, had some good jumps recently etc.

pretty major ROM on those SL calf raises.

TIME TO PULL MY HEAD IN AND START EATING/TRAINING/ABSTAINING FROM ALCOHOL!!!

DO IT.

This week was a waste training wise. I'm fkn sick of drinking alcohol and feeling like shit the next morning as well. I'm thinking of deactivating my social media (facebook) as well because I just waste too much time on it. As dumb as it sounds I think it also gives me a bit of anxiety. I just want to start living a simpler life free of drama and just get back to the essentials.

so from your latest replies, it seems like you drank some form of alcohol every day? I know you love drinking but, didn't know you drank THAT often, if that's the case.

+1 for deactivating facebook, +100 for not deactivating it and just logging out & rarely logging back in .. I choose the latter, because to me it's more rewarding to exert discipline over something.

+100000 for the simpler life.

looking forward to seeing you conquer these things and step your training, diet, performance, & life to new levels. It all comes from within, and sometimes getting to these "breaking points" is necessary. Now just leverage it.

good stuff already, cept for the KFC lulz.

peace!!
