SF, like NYC, is sick if you have a really high-paying job. seriously, average one-BR rent in my best friend's neighborhood is $3,400. not a typo: three thousand four hundred dollars a month for one bedroom. he (a teacher) and his wife (landscape architect) live in an efficiency that they moved into five years ago and was below-market then. his brother lives in the apartment right below theirs, by himself, but he's an engineer at square and makes $200K. oakland/berkeley are a little cheaper but not cheap. actually berkeley would be a tight place to live. you would get diesel from running all the hills.

or austin, my friend's brother is a programmer and super happy there.

or LA, go turn T0ddday into a distance runner, or let him convince you to run the 400/800.  :P
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

Any thoughts of where you'd relocate to if you did end up moving from Florida?

on my short list:

California, Iceland, New Zealand, Norway .. hah.

I'm thinking about leaving the US at some point.. but if I stay, being in California (SF for example) would be fun.

ya that engineer life.. lots of crazy high paying jobs. Must be fun to work at square, they have a really dope github (lots of sick open source software).

i think it'd be easier to turn me into a 400/800 guy than to turn t0ddday into a distance guy.. i'm already skinny af.. he's a beast. lmao.

or maybe he'd just be a really jacked distance guy.. not too many of those around ;f

-- 200m
-- 400m
-- 1 KM

potential run protocols:
- always warmup great

5k:
- make miles 1 & 2 the same, instead of 2 & 3

markers:
- repeatable 1m:15s 400m's with ~1 minute rest in between

Food

9 AM

- beet + tart cherry juice

- 2 oz concentrated coffee



Session: Morning

10 AM
- heat index: 85-90 F
- wet out
- was hoping to actually run in the rain but it stopped

warmup
- felt really good

run: 3.13 mi in 19:20
- 5k: 19:11 (-5s)  :personal-record:
- 5k pace: 6:11 min/mi
- splits: 6:01, 6:16, 6:23, rest: ~5:15
- goal: 6:05 min/mi (FAIL)
- strava: https://www.strava.com/activities/730852426/overview



decent until that first sharp curve (which is what both of those sharp dips in the graph are), then i down-shifted like a bitch.

anyway, happy to start october with a PR .. but I need to hit several 18's in October and somehow be on my way to 17's by November... :D

really should have joined the 18:XX club today .. total fail. bitched out on that third mile... I knew it too. I was telling myself i'm bitching out while running lmao.

looked at my watch a TON .. to try and make sure I was keeping pace.. obviously didn't keep pace but it's just funny how in that first mile I have SOOOO much bounce.. then I can just feel the bounce disappearing.. so I might be going the same effort but all of a sudden i'm 30s per mile slower. I've been thinking of adding more reactive work, ie, high rep MR tuck jumps/DL bounds/pogos etc.. If I could just extend my "bounce" out for three miles instead of ~1.5, i'd feel alot better.



me after the run:

1:30 PM

Food

3 PM

- small piece of a roast beef sandwich

Bio

aches: back achy
- I think that lower back ache from yesterday + that long walk yesterday made my back sore.



TODO:
- speed work (might run on a treadmill at 11-12 mph !!)
- SCRATCH THAT ^^ my friend canceled (so can't get into his gym).



Food

5 PM

- a banana bite
- water



Session: Evening

7 PM

warmup: mixed walk/run

reactive-work & sprints:
- anything that says L- R- L() R() are stiff leg/single leg pogo hops - linear
- also everything that says 0.0 mi is 0.06 mi (~96m)
- the 0.2 mi is 0.28 mi
- the distances on strava always get rounded up/down ... so garmin connect lists it properly

 25   0.1 mi   3:01   22:57 /mi   21:24 /mi          - REST



400m at the end:



so basically..... doing these relaxed stiff leg made me feel RIDICULOUSLY EXPLOSIVE.. I was flying on my sprints/400m test at the end.

I hit my 3rd best 400m sprint (1:08) while not going 100% AND slowing down mid-way for a guy to restrain his dog - so basically dropped me down from 13.5 mph to 13 mph.. anyway.. i might actually experiment with lower volume single leg pogos before my morning run.. it just didn't make sense how easily i could get down to low/mid 4 min/mi pace.

the 400m worth of stiff leg pogos is fucking beast.. :ibrunning:

anyway i've been meaning to start incorporating this stuff for a while.. I need to increase my *reactive strength 1RM*, ie, i need to be able to maintain my bounce longer, use less energy to bounce submaximally etc.. this stuff is aimed at improving running economy. i always need to just make my quads/calves/glutes stronger.

these single leg pogos had my calves/quads (VMO)/glutes pumped up.

I just think I need to incorporate some assistance exercises like this in order to make even more progress.

we'll see how I feel tomorrow but, feel pretty good right now.

warmup: feel wrecked

speed work: ~420m with ~1+ minute standing rest
- 12 x ~420m , rest = ~1+ minute
- apparently I averaged a ~5:30 min/mi pace for my ~420's
- felt decent, but very sore
- what's funny is: I thought I was running 400m, not 420m.. so when I saw my times, I got a little angrier and push it a bit more.. turns out I was running faster than I thought the whole time.. I definitely was surprised at my lap times per 400m (which was really 420m) -> each run seemed faster than the lap time stated.

Session: Stretching

10:50 PM

- hamstrings/quads/upper
- slight hamstring tendon/muscle issue was probably caused from stretching but, literally just stood with legs spread to stretch adductors slightly and that's what did it.. barely stretched them at all.. stretching my adductors seems to be a curse.  :raging: :raging: :raging:



Bio

soreness: + stuff from earlier, biceps, right lat, adductors




I AM FUCKIN SORE.. especially hips/glutes.





emoji testing, cleaning some of them up:

note to self:
- updating through the day.
- consistency consistency .. consistency.
- stop being a pussy.
- forget about what you did earlier, the day before, the week before, the year before .. focus only on the current session

goals:
- wakeup @ 5 AM
- improve:
-- 100m
-- 200m
-- 400m
-- 1 KM
-- 12 minute test
-- 5 KM
-- L-SLRVJ
-- half squat, half RDL, calf raises, BW upper

potential run protocols:
- always warmup great
- very light stretching before
- light stretching after
- paced runs: pick a pace and hold it 100%
- hold-on-for-dear-life: pick a pace, try and maintain pace for as long as possible -> measure distance maintained
- 12-minute test
- 200, 400m, 1km, 1 mile repeats
- from salazar workouts slide:
-- 6 x mile repeats with 400m jog recovery
-- 20 x 200m, with or without jog recovery
-- 8-12 x 400m, with x-second (~60s) standing recovery

training:
- finish 5k sessions with some ~150-200m max sprints

5k:
- make miles 1 & 2 the same, instead of 2 & 3
- maximally sprint (~160m) at the end of every 5k (from 3.0 to 3.1) -> need to teach myself to always tap into every last MU

markers:
- repeatable 1m:15s 400m's with ~1 minute rest in between
- max 400 under 60s

future contests:
- 10/09/2016: would need to run ~18:30 5k to win
- 11/24/2016: would need to run ~16:30 5k to win
- 12/14/2016: would need to run ~4:40 mile (holiday 1-mile race) to win

cues:
- POSTURE! RUN TALL!
- SHORT GCT
- WHEN TIRED, SHORT GCT + GET STRIDE FREQ BACK ON TRACK
- HOLD HANDS PROPERLY - RELAXED
- STAY RELAXED

warning:
- ALWAYS WARMUP PROPERLY
- DO NOT OVERSTRETCH
- GET ENOUGH SLEEP

also deserves its' own post .. something I thought of, seems like a nice quote:

"numbers in training, results in racing."



ie... care about numbers in training.. but just fu*king run hard during a race. fu*k numbers during a race. dno, just makes my mind feel good.

there are so many shoe size conversion I don't know which one is the right size conversion from US to UK.

is it UK:7.5  =>  US:9.5
       UK:7.5 => US 8.5
       UK: 7.5 => US 8

eastbay uses second one on the new balance shoes it says the third one.
I am size 7.5 and some you need half size bigger so do I need size 10, 9, 8.5
Warm up drills
   - a walk, b skip quick powerful switch (heel to hams focus), a runs, dribbles small to big to run, straight leg to runs (force, reflex, go up/forward). force to hit the ground before it hits the ground knee/hip is at 90 degrees.
   - acceleration: low heel recovery, shin angle low, drive legs back before hitting the ground and drive thighs/knee forward not up
-------------------------------------------------------------
Measuring reminder:
5 toe to heel steps = 148cm
------------------------------------------------------------------------

�Strength comes from the legs, Power comes from the torso and Speed comes from the arm.� � Al Vermeil
Arm also aids the legs in driving it down with power - seifullaah73

seems like i got bored of lifting again.. :/

lifting was a tool for vert/dunking ... but for running, it's not nearly as important (at least right now).. so i don't enjoy lifting JUST TO LIFT.

I was enjoying calisthenics by itself.. but that severe elbow tendonitis scared me away. Every time I think about doing some dips/L-sits/calisthenics I start thinking about my elbow.

I'm kind of back into my "boxing mode" -> keep it very simple. When I boxed, I did tons of running, jump rope, heavy bag, shadow boxing, occasional pullups etc.. I barely did anything else and I just kept improving and got into insane shape.

I still have to be careful (hamstrings, calves, achilles) with my current training .. But it seems I can train harder with less issues by simply sticking to running/sprinting/jumping. Adding in lifting causes more soreness and fatigue (mental) and just makes me feel less relaxed.

so dno..

Makes sense! I mean I'm in a similar situation. I tried to incorporate jumps and med ball throws into my routine but at the moment it's just too much on top of the technique work, olylifts and strength work I'm doing. Adding jumps/throws before every workout makes these workouts just drag out too long and it seems that my knees also don't really appreciate the extra pounding.
