i am, to be perfectly blunt, worried you're going to hurt yourself with the amount of volume you're doing.

ya i'm keeping my eyes on it closely.. the only real issues i have from it so far, is calf tightness.. but i've had that with speed oriented training too.

things that are always on my mind: hip, achilles, calves, feet, hip flexor.

so as long as I kill the ego, I should be good.. if I experience any weird sensations/pain when running, i'll stop. Pushing through it is the recipe for disaster.

one thing I have working in my favor, is my 'every other day' running .. so, it's not like im running 17 monday, 15 tuesday, 10 wednesday, 17 thursday etc.. i'm purposefully avoiding that for health reasons etc.

so ya hoping this style of high volume is at least safer.

peace!

158, damn that's a lot for you! but if it comes with strenf that you can maintain to an extent while getting back toward 150, worth it.

ya definitely. i'm already starting to focus on getting back down under 150 (as of tonight) .. hehe. I definitely 'feel heavy' when i'm running, I don't like the feeling. I'm also going to keep my routine mostly the same; I might cut down some volume on lifting but that's about it. I like my alternating schedule of lifting/running.

I definitely need to get alot stronger. So i'll continue on this path for 3-6 months I think. I know I can get my speed back by reducing volume considerably and focusing more on low/fast mileage, so i'm not worried about that. One of the things i'd like to figure out though, is how to get faster putting in this longer distance runs/higher volume sessions. It seems alot harder to me as of the last ~1.5 years .. but, I think I just need to really gut it out and slowly chip away at improving my pace over these distances. Say for example I could improve my old half marathon from 7:20's min/mi to 6:30's min/mi ... That'd be an enormous 'base improvement' for when I start focusing on speed. So i'm going to keep focusing on improving this base for a while. I want my legs to 'feel completely fine' after a 20 miler.  :ninja:

One of my main markers is to get back to sub 5min/mi pace for my 400m repeats that I do on my track days.. right now i'm mid to upper 5's mostly.. need to be under 5 min/mi on speed days, that'll make me very confident about my speed at any point in time; ie could easily just do a 5k or 1-miler and expect to bang out a decent time.

peace!

- half marathon: 1h:38m:08s @ 7:29 min/mi (8.01 mph)

Got some new (cheap) long distance running shoes.. ~7.9 oz NB 790v6's. Actually really liked them - much more than those adidas adios boost 3's, which I sent back.

I tried on a bunch of shoes today at several outlet stores.. absolutely none of them felt good except for these NB's. So just decided to go with these for my 'experiment' (heavier shoe training on my long moderate/slow runs).

so i went to a bunch of outlet stores today at the sawgrass mills mall, looking for some beast "long distance" running shoes.. unreal, couldn't find anything except for these:



I tried on like 6 different pair of running shoes, they all felt horrible except for these New Balance 790v6 Speed Ride's.

They are decently light (7.9 oz), feel great/comfortable, feel 'hard' not mushy etc.. Ran 17 miles with them tonight, pretty much exactly what I wanted in a long distance training shoe.

FWIW, they felt 100x better than the adios's.. Also I feel better after running in them, other than my calves, but those have been acting up lately. Feet/quads/knees felt great running in them. Obviously not apples to apples (i've got in several long runs since running in the Adidas), but you know a shoe is 'better' immediately, once you put it on.. at least I do anyway.

Finished round of 10 at like 12:01 so I'm done

Form was definitely killing me the first few rounds but when I warmed up more it got better.  One round I broke them up and kept the bar on to air for some reason to rest and it killed me.


95lbs definitely isn't heavy but my quads are on fire.  Going to go home, finish my meal and get some sleep

On the bike, looked up porn on accident at the gym lol

On the med ball I used a 20lber and my back was so sore I ended up getting mashed potatoes around round 8

and you x'd out immediately or watched it? lmao

ACHES/INJURIES: right ring finger
SORENESS: none
MENTAL STATE: kind of tired

- warm up

- pistol x 5,5/leg

- shrimp squat x 10,10/leg
focus on sitting back

- SL SVJ x 5,5/leg

- AMRAP double unders x 20 mins
got to 474
. lots of mistakes at the beginning but settled down eventually. this was a nice little workout, not too challenging cardiovascularly but got HR up a little and easy to measure.

damn sick.

9683
surprised/confused about that db ohp, 20's x 6 wtf?

cool @ the schedule. swole up.

running before work (programming) has the opposite effect for me compared to most people, i'm more tired/mine wanders. maybe just takes longer to get used to, especially for 'night owls'. dno.

to clarify: all weights in kg. still 44lbs x 6 ain't great.

funny how i always read your weights in kg .. but for that I read it in lb.

weird.

20 kg obviously makes more sense.

might go look at some running shoes in person tomorrow.. still want some heavier shoes for some really long runs, but definitely not like those adios's.. thinking about trying on the Nike Zoom Streaks and some longer distance new balance shoes.

I have to try them on though, can't order from the inet.. no idea what I want in a "heavier" shoe. It just can't feel "soft". i'd like a thicker/hard sole with the rest of the shoe being more minimal.

dno.

tmw i'd like to get in a long mostly paced run road run.

Not hating, that was my initial thought when I saw it as well. Hes got bounce for sure....but seems to me the gym he usually dunks at in S FL may be a little shy of 10 foot. Especially given comparable camera angles.

Cool ya. It's just such a different experience when you watch it. Even though he's doing crazy shit on that NBA hoop, he looks human to me in that clip. Also I guess i'm just pointing it out more for Dupuy because he's always talking about like a 60+" vertical lmao.


Just got me thinking of some old t-dub clips on nba hoops:

dupuy is obviously a beast.. but, looks so much different when he jumps on legit 10'



or am I just "hating", and letting that blind me?

dno, looks way different.

Did the workout

Rounds 4/6/8/10 - 135lbs
Rounds 12/14 - 95lbs

I stopped cuz i either tore open my hand and it was bleeding or I had like a blood blister or whatever it is and popped a i bled all over.  Either way I stopped to clean myself up and the bar.

Rough workout, thing that sucked was my forearms Supa pump which made the workout worse at the round of 10.

hah nice! good w/o.

also, poo poo powder wtf?
