bw = 161
soreness = not much, barely quads/calves.
aches = left calf and right hamstrings were a bit tight before running - weird.. then that disappeared.. during run, left quad got tight early on then disappeared.. right foot a bit during walk/run, also after - stretched it slightly by kneeling down while on my forefoot the day, which seemed to make it achy.
carbed up w/ supplement + english muffin b4 run, watermelon last night
walk/run: at the beach
- no read, too many people & unfamiliar spot. incredible how many people were running, walking, cycling .. hundreds.
- 10.39 mi in 2h48m
- the 0.18 mi @ 4:19 min/mi was pretty fast.. should have kept going a bit but was running from street light to street light. I think that's the fastest i've run since coming back from injury. That's also similar to my ~0.25 mi @ 4:12 min/mi when I burned myself out in that X-mas mile race.
- the 0.34 @ 6:10 min/mi directly after that, felt so easy.. was like a "first gear run". It's interesting how easy running feels after you run a really fast interval.. dat potentiation tho.
pretty fast this session.. speed getting back to normal. once speed is back to normal, the idea is to just keep pushing it. I want my legs to just keep experiencing low to mid 4 min/mi paces.
I feel "big" right now.. doesn't seem like i'm dropping weight too easy right now, seems to come right back on.. anyway, not going to force it. If I can keep more muscle on and still lean up slowly, I think i'd rather do that than get really skinny. When I was hitting all of my PR's in running, I was under 150, mostly around 147-148 or so.. But I was running every day. With this new system, not sure what will happen with my weight.. but my legs feel like they are "getting bigger" instead of getting lighter, so that's interesting. If I lose some upper body mass & fat, and my legs stay the same or get bigger, i'll basically be back to my dunking physique instead of my running physique ..... i'll take it.
goals:
- fast mile
- rvj / dunk
pretty "simple"
just a photo from this morning, the beach b&w.
found a hoop I want to dunk on eventually, as part of the 1-800-air-jesus series.
really nice hoop..
some decent meal from the other day:
7 PM
light workout:
- ng pullups: BW x 8
- full dips: BW x 10
- paused reverse fly: no weight x 20
- standing straight leg lift: x 20
- standing straight leg abduction: x 20
- calf raises: BW x 25
i'll start bringing back these light workouts throughout the day.- restrictions: just 1 set per exercise, per session
- no weights
- just using this to get in a little extra muscle stimulation going on .. slow strength gains
- not going to go crazy with these sessions like I was a few months ago .. going to take it easy
