race: Parkland Dash 5k Race: 1st overall - "defended my title" (lmfao): 5k @ 20:14, splits: 5:54, 6:19, 7:04 - felt great early on, started abdominal cramping at ~1.3 mi, shut it down completely at mile 2 to avoid death-cramping.

happy with it. first 5k race in like 8 months, first hard 3 mile effort since coming back from injury. First ~5:54 was really comfortable/easy, felt great. Didn't look at my watch at all so, had no idea what my pacing was like, but was in the lead for 5k the entire way - lost the lead at ~1.4 mi to someone running the 5 mile race, but he kept going & we parted ways (change of course) at 1.5 miles anyway.

humidity was insane. some pretty fast kids out there too. great race course, love this one. They also fixed the "turnaround point" for 5k vs 5 miler, it was way better than last year where I got messed up. This time they had a guy on a bike who sorted everyone out.





good cadence early on .. pretty steady. increased it a bit when i felt someone coming up on me. eventually it dropped under 180 when I started shutting it down, as low as 170 or so when i was going my slowest.

included some of my warmup intervals, body felt really good. easily hitting sub 5 pace, so legs felt normal, nice & light/fast.



workout: frequency hopping: (very light 1 mile run, walk ~400m, kinda hard 370m, walk ~400m) x 4 sets: 370's @ {1:11/5:10mm, 1:07/4:57mm, 1:06/4:52mm, 1:04/4:44mm}, road surface sidewalk in park

speed felt very good. loved this workout. love hitting the faster paces.

didn't journal properly today, will do it tomorrow.

but was 142 this morning lmao. "physique update" today, that's 144. ~148 right now with tons of water in me. Crazy though, last night I was 145 or so, then 142 in the morning, with only ~6 hours sleep.

- run 4km in 20:35
walked the first ~150m, then pace was right at 5:00/km despite trying deliberately to take it easy.

- walk 400m

- stretch

nice!! :ibrunning:

Quote
was in the mountains for the last few days, warmed up and stretched a bit in the mornings but otherwise work was flat-out: visiting local community groups all day and catching up on normal stuff all night. really stressed out. also my gf is pissed at me for reasons which she will not elaborate, which ordinarily i would be much better able to deal with but which right now is just making me frustrated. trying to figure out what to do with the frustration, where to channel it. i am, generally speaking, a very emotionally stable and self-contained person. i have deep reserves of patience for myself and for other people. it's weird for them to have been whittled so far down.

damn that's weird as hell about the gf.. :/

kinda related, when I was doing my "recovery" walk yesterday, my mind was thinking about crap I didn't want it to think about, just random political b.s.. probably was walking too slow, when I walk faster it clears more. Anyway, I had on a long sleeve but for some reason after a while I rolled down my sleeve so I could see my forearms, clenched my fist lightly until I could see some veins, and just imagined my thoughts exiting my body. Actually seemed to help.. But I also thought, this is kind of weird, almost feels like a "cutter" thing, but without the cutting.

I guess i've really come to hate stress & all of the ridiculous shit in the world.. Figuring out what helps to tune it out on demand, is becoming more important to me. With running and intense walking etc, I think it helps me tune out, by tuning in to those efforts. I mean initially I could think about garbage, but as time goes on it just all seems to go blank.. That's actually a side effect that I really enjoy. Really helps when you have the time too though I guess, i'm lucky right now with that.

peace dude!@$!@

Good stuff bro! What's your pb and what time did you finish this race in last year?

y0! thanks alot man!!!

here's an actual link to it & the journal entry:

https://www.strava.com/activities/753546579/overview

http://www.adarq.org/progress-journals-experimental-routines/adarq's-journal/msg126171/#msg126171

funny, very similar splits except for the third mile. 2016 vs 2017:
- prep training: "tons of hard 5k's and 2 5k races" vs "no 5k's and no races"
- mile 1: 5:49 vs 5:54 (+6s)
- mile 2: 6:19 vs 6:19 (0s)
- mile 3: 6:04 vs 7:04 (+60s)
- 0.1: sprint vs trot
- LMAO.

Last year I ran like ~19:48 official or something, but I ran 3.3 miles not 3.1, because of a course screw up. So was more like low 19's. This year was 20:14, so WAY slower.

Here's the differences though:
- Last year: it happened on October 23, not Oct 8, and it was apparently very cool and I "didn't sweat at all"

Quote
Also ... I didn't sweat at all. LOLOL. Was nice and cool (sub 70 F).

- This year: I was completely soaked from head to toe, with water coming out of my feet. It was 80+ with ~93+% humidity. Everyone was absolutely drenched.

- Last year: I didn't cramp
- This year: I cramped at ~1.3 miles or so

- Last year: I was in a real race with someone next to me from 1.5 to 3.1 and sprinted at the end.
- This year: I literally didn't see anyone behind me, any time I looked, though they definitely gained on me by the end. I completely shut it down the last 1.1 miles.

This year as I approached the finish line, some guy said, "great job, and yeah just walk it in" LMFAO. Last year it was a race sprint to the finish with everyone cheering/going nuts, haha.

So, a completely different race/situation.



My PB is ~18:12 watch, ~18:22 official.



anyway nice question, lead to some nice "analysis".. This is why journaling is great :D :D :D  :wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf: :ibrunning: :ibrunning:  :ninja: :ninja:

peace!!

i don't think j-kills is into bball like that. I do think he played for his h.s. team and maybe a year at his local college, i forget.. but, I think he's always been just so obsessed with dunking itself, that he doesn't even think about bball. that's the vibe i get.

Thanks Adarq. It wss actually my common practice to do 5 reps of drop and 5 reps depthjump as warm up.
Guess it is doing more harm than good.  Would take ur advice and in my next effort jump session next week.

Mean while a video log.

171007 W2 Plyo
Some of the contact time is way too long.
Coach suggested to focus on low ground contact time while maintaining 90 percent height.
He said try to not lose more than 10 percent of vert while keeping the speed up
Thats the idea, but in no way i can tell if i am jumping my 90 or 80 percent height...
I just know.. I am slow... When i am on the ground too long.

https://youtu.be/Uw6A_zcCVWU
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uw6A_zcCVWU" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uw6A_zcCVWU</a>

again, "i just know, i am slow .. my contact time are way too slow". why? says who? it's not that bad .. the problem I see, is that you are thinking about that landing after the jump, it's obvious that's what's going on in your head.

in a true depth jump: you drop, and jump as high as possible while trying to get off the ground as fast as possible, that's all you think about. That's the cue that the guy who created depth jumps, found to be the best/most effective. He also used an overhead goal (something to hit/touch), which makes them more effective, but not everyone has that kind of setup. If you can implement an overhead goal, I would do it.

there's no 90%, 80%, or thinking about what to do after you jump (ie some kind of landing).

so i'm not trying to go against your coach, but, there's no 90% in a true DJ. If you are doing 90%, that's a submax DJ effort.. which again, could be the purpose, to get more volume in or maybe just as preparation for more intense DJ's, so who knows.

but, the biggest problem is that you are thinking about landing in some "squat form" after your jump.. I don't get that at all. If you jump as high as possible, you will land all kinds of different ways. It'll never be one consistent type of landing: sometimes you'll twist, sometimes you look all funny & be off balanced, sometimes you'll land picture perfect -> NONE OF WHICH IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER. Many of my highest jumps after DJ's had my literally landing facing the other direction, because i'm reaching up as high as possible with my right arm and that causes considerable twisting.

so, to me, the fact that you have added another "link in the chain" to the movement, means you are sacrificing the ability to truly focus on the DJ itself. Someone has told you, or you are trying, to do a "Depth Jump + Depth drop" .. IMHO, those are two different exercises. The Depth Jump itself has a drop, the initial drop off of the box/etc. The next phase is the jump. There's no reason to have yet another depth drop after the jump .. I mean it'll happen naturally, you're landing .. but no reason to actually think about sticking the landing in some kind of specific form.

your DJ's are not as bad as you think they are.. you often think things are worse than they are, I feel that this may cause you to overanalyze in the wrong direction. Since you think you're slow off the ground, or your jump plant isn't low enough, or your runup is too slow etc, you try and manually correct these things, causing more "thought" during the movements.

the more you think during an explosive/dynamic movement, the worse it gets. Just "think" about that, no pun intended. It should be reflexive, free, with as little interference from the brain as possible. By thinking too much & correcting (or what we think is correcting, actually incorrecting) various components of a movement, we actually teach ourselves to be more mechanical. We are not machines.

Clear your mind and just, do - with maximal effort, passion, love, intensity, etc.

my 2 cents.

peace!

Just got home, great race for the men it seems. For the US, Rupp is right there with Kurui.

As for the women, US's Hasay is apparently on US record pace.. and 3rd overall.

beast.
