i wish i could afford personal chef that cook me good stuff.

ya a personal chef could be cool.

though, the way i'm eating now (99% of the time), I don't think i'd even have a use for one.

in a month i'll probably only be eating avocados, grapefruit, bananas, watermelon, coconut water, eggs, bread, and milk .. lmfao.

legs felt so heavy & tight this morning, calves especially (left more so). not enough sleep didn't help, but i also think alot of it has to do with how I ate yesterday .. though I felt fine, the food I ate was likewise heavy .. nothing like the way I feel when eating fruit and maybe some eggs etc. Also, my left calf got alot tighter mid-day towards the evening.

love my short shorts!!! LMAAFOFO!!



09/30/2017

bw = 147
- alot of food in me
soreness = calfs slightly - left more so
aches/injuries = right hip iliac crest slightly, left calf tight
morning quad flexibility = loose
morning hamstring flexibility = loose
feel = ok

wakeup = 5:30 AM
- forced wakeup

diet:
- 05:30 AM: 3carb pre-workout drink, banana
-- going to stop drinking the pre-workout drink and see how I feel
- 07:00 AM: workout: morning speed test
- 09:00 AM: 2 x grapefruit, 2 x coconut water
-- made me feel alot better.....
- 12:00 PM: workout: bw
- 01:00 PM: whole foods: peanut butter bar, watermelon juice
- 03:00 PM: workout: bw
- 03:30 PM: 2 x avocados, 2 x sourdough bread slices, banana, sweetened green tea
- 05:15 PM: quarter watermelon
-- so good
- 06:00 PM: workout: bw
- 07:00 PM: workout: speed
- 09:00 PM: 4 x eggs (sunny side up), 2 x hearth bread (put two eggs as a sandwich), 2 x banana, 2% milk, coconut water



stretch:
- 08:45 AM: soleus stretch
- 09:30 AM: soleus stretch
- 05:30 PM: soleus, alot, some good work during dishes :D
- 10:00 PM: soleus during dishes
- 10:15 PM: everything before bed



workout: morning speed test
- long warmup to try and get my legs loose, fail
- warmup runs were 5:20-5:30 pace, not snappy
- 1 km @ 3:15 (~11.5 mph)
-- not so bad considering .. PR is 3:03
-- will try and PR my 1k soon, sub 3 son.
- finished with an easy 1.5 miles at ~7:30 min/mi pace





feel really tired.. probably going to take a nap. would like to do another session tonight.. i'll probably feel alot better, as long as my left calf isn't freaking out. if it's freaking out i'll just walk or something.

hit 4:4x at some point, for every split.. could barely hit it in the morning................................ less effort in the evening too, just much more snappy/explosive.. morning effort = tight, evening effort = loose. :o :ninja: :ibrunning:




workout: bw
- 12 PM
- 5+ sec dead hang ng pullups: BW x 8
- full dips: BW x 8



workout: bw
- 3 PM
- 5+ sec dead hang ng pullups: BW x 8
- full dips: BW x 10



workout: bw
- 6 PM
- 10+ sec dead hang pullups: BW x 5
- ~3 sec pause at the bottom full dips: BW x 5



workout: speed
- sidewalk speed: "zigzags": 3x ~{420m,355m,193m,225m,112m,180m,100m} + short walking rest -> everything low 5's to high 4's
- https://www.strava.com/activities/1209458607

like a different person compared to this morning.. felt so good. it rained before my session too so, sidewalk *slightly* slippery, had to be a little careful like usual when it rains, but it's not risky slippery.

ate light today, all fruit.. really think that helps me feel significantly faster when i'm running. about to get the protein in now, eggs + fruit.

tomorrow = 2 very light run/stroll sessions, early morning & early evening.







WTF :pissed: :pissed: :pissed:
- im feeding my dogs some bread, and james runs up and slams his claw into my knee.. hasn't stopped hurting since. he hit it right on the VL tendon insertion.
- insanity




Monthly Tracker: October 2017

Going to try a new style of progress tracker: monthly, embedded into my journal posts. Obviously this should be something fancy/amazing by now but, will make do with this. Also, going to go "across" rather than down, so it all fits into one small block.

TBH, I really like this so far.. even though I only have a few data points thus far. :D

I don't understand your journal, all that quotations and brackets.

it's programming lingo.

[x,y,z] is a list consisting of x, y, and z

[(x,a),(y,b),(z,c)] is a list consisting of (x,a), (y,b), (z,c)

I included FORMAT: after each list, so you can see the format of the tuples (blah,blah,blahs) .. ie:
- FORMAT: (day, weight in lbs)

Would look like: (30, 147) for today, since today is the 30th of october and 147 was my weight in lbs this morning.


Quote
Also if you get any lighter, I will be about 5 inches shorter than you and 100 lb heavier than you heheh

nice. hopefully by the end of november i'm 110 lb lighter than you :D

think about it though.. when you're ~165 & flying, you'll only be ~30 lb heavier than me. So I think that's a good way of looking at it.

Since I have been trying out things such as the progressive depth squats, which has gone well to a certain depth then when it get's lower the progress slows down but probably progress is being made.

So I was thinking of another idea combined with this method, using the cable pulley machine, where most have 2 close by, so using a bar attachment at a low depth and then just building hip strength so basically doing concentric squats with pulley machine and progress the depth and then transfer that strength on to the actual squats.

What do you think, feasible or does it have more disadvantages to it?
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

dno, not sure I like it. It sounds like you would lose alot of specificity doing that, so I don't see much carry over.

To improve depth more, i'd focus on:
1. lighter but more volume at depth, using partials at the bottom, could be off pins or free, sets of 10-20 reps.
2. getting stronger above depth - which will carry over to deeper ROM
3. getting stronger at depth - heavy but relaxed singles to become more comfortable in that ROM

So, #1 targets time under tension for the glutes especially, at those joint angles. You'd start off really light and make sure everything feels fine doing that exercise, for several (3-4 sessions) before bumping it up more. The idea is to just hit depth nice and controlled, then go up a bit but not fully completing the rep, just mid-way, then go right back down. Keeping the tension on the glutes. It could even be less than midway, idea is to just keep the glutes shoulders the load for the entire set. This can be a finisher, after your (#2/main movement).

#2 is basically what you're doing already .. if you go from say, 2xBW half squat, with 1.5xBW full squat .. to 3xBW half squat, then full squat will surely increase as well. Just using some hypothetical numbers.

#3 is just actually performing the exact GOAL movement, whether that's pin squatting or free squatting at depth. The idea here is just to become more comfortable, confident, and stronger 1 rep at a time.. Hit a single, walk back out relax, reset, refocus, hit another. Something like this can be a finisher as well.

my 2 cents on it.

peace!!

i love my compression shorts so much .. wore them today for my 8 ez miles. I'm going to go get compression pants soon :D

Btw I have the normal kind, not the 2xu kind with all of the extra bulk in them, those are a bit weird to me. I just have the tights. Going to get the pants/slacks tights in a bit, plan to run with them tonight.

Also love my short shorts..

Finally, I absolutely love my saucony shay xc4's .. my red ones have nearly 1,400 miles on them and I ran with them this morning just fine, they feel incredible. Bottoms are completely worn out, a few holes in em, but you can barely notice it.. Incredible shoes.

Also love my garmin forerunner. Don't love my chest strap HR that much. Footpod is cool but mostly just to confirm my stride freq, don't need to wear it all the time.

funny.. i'm running-gear'd up at this point.

Wow, great advice thanks, especially the way you put it into a schedule layout.

My current layout routine is:
   Jump Squats
   Half Squats
   Progressive depth squats
   Calf Raises
   RDL

So number 2 is the current half squats I am doing and to continue doing, then #1 will replace progressive depth squats and #3 as a finisher at the end of the workout?

well, might be best to split them into two sessions:

A
   Jump Squats
   Half Squats
   Partials at the bottom: 3-5 x 15 (very controlled)
   Calf Raises
   RDL

B
   Jump Squats
   Half Squats
   Squat singles x 10, reset between reps, just working on hitting depth comfortably with moderate loads
   Calf Raises
   RDL

You might want to also warm up a little deeper for your half squat sets also. A good way to get some extra volume in, nice and light.. So, you'd just do a few extra warmup sets during your work up, before you transition to half.

Occasionally you might also want to throw in your progressive depth squats too though, i dno .. you may still like those more than these exercises.

All of that being said, hip safety is #1. Don't tweak it. Light/moderate intensity loads should be ok, don't load up the bar too early with heavier loads.

Felt great. First walking mile was very fast and I was trying to go slow, so I knew my legs were going to feel good. The run was very light, couldn't really go slower than 9 min/mi without forcing it, so just coasted at ~8-30-8:50. Also wokeup early again (6:30 AM). Tonight will be some more light volume, but I plan on mixing walking & easy running (n x 1:3). Monday = rest.

my saucony shay xc4's are just amazing.. nearly 1500 miles on these red ones, completely worn out on the bottom, a few rips, but they still feel incredibly good.. lmao!

Since I have been trying out things such as the progressive depth squats, which has gone well to a certain depth then when it get's lower the progress slows down but probably progress is being made.

So I was thinking of another idea combined with this method, using the cable pulley machine, where most have 2 close by, so using a bar attachment at a low depth and then just building hip strength so basically doing concentric squats with pulley machine and progress the depth and then transfer that strength on to the actual squats.

What do you think, feasible or does it have more disadvantages to it?

dno, not sure I like it. It sounds like you would lose alot of specificity doing that, so I don't see much carry over.

To improve depth more, i'd focus on:
1. lighter but more volume at depth, using partials at the bottom, could be off pins or free, sets of 10-20 reps.
2. getting stronger above depth - which will carry over to deeper ROM
3. getting stronger at depth - heavy but relaxed singles to become more comfortable in that ROM

So, #1 targets time under tension for the glutes especially, at those joint angles. You'd start off really light and make sure everything feels fine doing that exercise, for several (3-4 sessions) before bumping it up more. The idea is to just hit depth nice and controlled, then go up a bit but not fully completing the rep, just mid-way, then go right back down. Keeping the tension on the glutes. It could even be less than midway, idea is to just keep the glutes shoulders the load for the entire set. This can be a finisher, after your (#2/main movement).

#2 is basically what you're doing already .. if you go from say, 2xBW half squat, with 1.5xBW full squat .. to 3xBW half squat, then full squat will surely increase as well. Just using some hypothetical numbers.

#3 is just actually performing the exact GOAL movement, whether that's pin squatting or free squatting at depth. The idea here is just to become more comfortable, confident, and stronger 1 rep at a time.. Hit a single, walk back out relax, reset, refocus, hit another. Something like this can be a finisher as well.

my 2 cents on it.

peace!!

Wow, great advice thanks, especially the way you put it into a schedule layout.

np!

Quote
My current layout routine is:
   Jump Squats
   Half Squats
   Progressive depth squats
   Calf Raises
   RDL

So number 2 is the current half squats I am doing and to continue doing, then #1 will replace progressive depth squats and #3 as a finisher at the end of the workout?

well, might be best to split them into two sessions:

A
   Jump Squats
   Half Squats
   Partials at the bottom: 3-5 x 15 (very controlled)
   Calf Raises
   RDL

B
   Jump Squats
   Half Squats
   Squat singles x 10, reset between reps, just working on hitting depth comfortably with moderate loads
   Calf Raises
   RDL

You might want to also warm up a little deeper for your half squat sets also. A good way to get some extra volume in, nice and light.. So, you'd just do a few extra warmup sets during your work up, before you transition to half.

Occasionally you might also want to throw in your progressive depth squats too though, i dno .. you may still like those more than these exercises.

All of that being said, hip safety is #1. Don't tweak it. Light/moderate intensity loads should be ok, don't load up the bar too early with heavier loads.

pc!

Ok I see. I do love the progressive squats so I may do them too. I'll talk to my coach and see what's the best way to do it.

pc and thanks
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

rest day.

10/02/2017

bw = 146
soreness = calfs moderate, quads slightly
aches/injuries = none
morning quad flexibility = loose
morning hamstring flexibility = loose
feel = great

wakeup = 10:00 AM
- slept in, needed it

diet:
- 10:30 AM: RXBAR, 2% milk
- 12:00 PM: 2 x banana, 1/2 black tea
- 04:30 PM: resting HR measurement
- 05:00 PM: recovery walk
- 06:45 PM: 2 x banana, 3 x eggs sunny side up, 2 x hearth bread, water
- 08:00 PM: banana, avocado, 2% milk

stretch:
- 09:00 PM: soleus during dishes

resting HR measurement:

damn.. caffeine in me, food in me, taken at 4:30 PM, had to poop for the second half of the test, replying to forum posts, etc..

20 minutes:
- average = 40
- low = 35





just letting the mileage "sculpt" me. :ninja:

 :ibrunning: :ibrunning: :ibrunning:

recovery: very light walk: easy 15:XX pace, perhaps my fastest light walk
- 5.4 mi @ 15:48 min/mi pace
- https://www.strava.com/activities/1212491369

some recovery. hitting 15:XX paces so easily while just gently walking, felt really nuts. body just feels really good, very light & strong. actually ventured off into a supermarket just to check the avocado prices, and I had to intentionally slow down like crazy because each stride I was just flying by people, lmfao. felt weird..

09:00 PM: 2% milk, 2 x toasted spent grain heart bread, water w/ lemon, 3 x banana
- feel good!!



stretch:
- 09:20 PM: soleus during dishes

workout: morning speed: fasted+coffee, tail wind, no looking at watch, progressively faster, 4 x 1050m walk back recovery: {4:15/6:34mm, 3:34/5:31mm, 3:31/5:26mm, 3:21.9/5:10mm}
- https://www.strava.com/activities/1213173131

felt really good. perhaps my fastest ever running while "fasted". Didn't look at my watch, just went by feel. getting better in the morning, still need to get out earlier .. started this session around 7:30 AM. Need to be fully warmed up/ready to go by 6:45/7 AM.

my fastest 1 KM split at the end was 3:12 .. pretty cool. 9 seconds off PR pace and it came in my 4th KM while fasted. i'll take it.







workout: track with GFLRRC: decreasing short standing rest: 4 x 800m {3:04/6:04mm, 3:14/6:13mm, 2:52/5:42mm, 3:12/6:19mm}, 400m {1:16/5:11mm}, 800m {3:06/6:17mm}, 2 x 200m {37.8/5:08mm, 33.6/4:40mm}
- https://www.strava.com/activities/1214122673

rain + wind, but fun session. did their paces for the 800's (they were hitting different paces per 800 - 10k, 5k, tempo, etc). I pushed it for the 400 & 200's.

tomorrow = light day, morning/night light runs (hopefully). weather is REALLY bad around here right now, but shouldn't affect light recovery runs.

-- could have something to do with how ridiculous I felt in workout #2
- everything before bed



workout: fasted morning stroll: walk 0.5 mi, very light run: 9 miles @ ~8:45mm
- 6:30 AM

garmin wouldn't sync, so i turned it off then plugged it back in, history gone. wtf.

very light run in some nutty weather.. was fun.

workout: very light recovery #2: evening: 2 x 3 miles: first 3 (~7:49 min/mi), 2nd 3 (~8:05 min/mi)
- 8 PM
- https://www.strava.com/activities/1215718615

didn't look at watch, just ran nice and relaxed.. very happy about that first 3 miles, had no idea how fast i was running.. it felt really good, so i'm happy to see it was 7:48/7:48/7:53.

also lots of running in the rain, felt great. i clipped my shoelace though on that 3rd mile in the first set, almost ate it, but caught myself... was a really close call.. had them double knotted but, really with the water/soaked shoes, should have tripled them up.. quadrupled them up after that, no problems. scary though.



i remember when 7:40's used to be "moderate" .. lmao. kinda nuts how easy I hit those.. that's must be what it's like to be elite, hitting < 6 at that effort.. similar feeling though.. just barely pushing and going fast, nice and relaxed/ez.

bw = 146
bw before bed = ?
soreness = none
aches/injuries = none, toe blister
morning quad flexibility = loose
morning hamstring flexibility = loose
feel = great

wakeup = 9 AM
- slept in, so much rain etc, felt good.

diet:
wakeup 9:30
09:30 AM: quarter watermelon, 1/2 black coffee drink
10:15 AM: relax speed + bw
- 3-sec dead hang ng pullups: BW x 9

12:00 AM: 2% milk, coconut water
01:00 PM: 2% milk, 2 x banana
04:00 PM: 3 x grape fruit, 2 x avocado, banana
06:00 PM: peanut butter bar from whole foods, 1/2 watermelon juice
07:15 PM: workout: high volume, relaxed speed
09:00 PM: 2% milk, coconut water
10:00 PM: 3 x banana, chicken skewer, avocao, 2 x san fran sour dough, 2% milk, water w/ lemon



stretch:
- 09:30 AM: quads
- 1 PM - 6 PM: quad stretches throughout the day



workout: morning relaxed speed: 5 x 800m @ {2:57/5:55mm, 2:44/5:31mm, 2:46/5:33mm, 2:44/5:29mm, 2:38.8/5:17mm} ::: wet/rainy sidewalk, light walk back recovery, no looking at watch
- 10 AM
- https://www.strava.com/activities/1216451463

felt really good!! again really wet so had to be a little careful, but everything felt good. Weather is going to be really bad for the rest of the week, so can't really work around it. Really happy with the first split, that was just a warmup lap, but still sub 6 nice and easy. Last 800m was the hardest obviously, pushed it more, it being the last lap.

This workout felt really good & legs feel fresh, so tonight's workout (400m repeats hopefully) shouldn't suffer at all.

Hoping to one day knock out these intervals at sub 5 pace at the same effort level .. relaxed sub 5's would be awesome.





best one is definitely the third 800m, very even pace.



workout: evening relaxed speed, 5k race prep: 21 x 400m with 80m light walking rest @ mostly 5:3X/5:4X, with some 5:2X & 5:5X ::: reps #19 & #20 @ 82/81 ::: wet sidewalk
- https://www.strava.com/activities/1217124765

wanted to hit 25 but only got to 21 (work capacity issues), including the first 2 warmups. was more focused on trying to maintain ~85s pace or so, just by feel/not pushing it. A few hours later, legs feel amazingly good. Have a 5k race on sunday, first one in like 8 months or so.. no idea how i'll do, but should do ok, feel like i'm in ok shape. Last workout is tomorrow (bunch of long slow recovery), then saturday = complete rest, sunday = race.







friday = morning/night - light recovery
saturday = rest
sunday = morning race, evening = light recovery

stretch:
- 06:30 AM: everything (except hips), very light
- 10:30 AM: soleus during dishes
- 11:30 AM: lots of calf, some quad
-- need to be careful with the calf stuff but they were very tight, so tried loosening them up, hope I don't regret it.
- 05:00 PM: hamstring walks, these felt amazing .. just staying bent over touching fingers/knuckles to ground, feet at various angles, and only stretching for one second, then walking forward a step and going into another stretch. might do this more often, felt amazing afterwards. so probably got in like, 50 or so little mini stretches.
:wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf:
- 06:30 PM: some quad stretches while walking dogs
- 11:20 PM: soleus during dishes
- 11:30 PM: everything before bed


workout: fasted+coffee: very light recovery run, same effort, run until drop off: ~4 miles @ ~8:45 mm, 2 miles @ 9+ (drop off)
- 7 AM

just ran until my "same effort" dropped off considerably, that happened to be mile 6 basically. Couldn't even go slower than ~8:4X early on, then that same effort became 9:05 and finally 9:1X, so enough of a drop to quit.

going to do the same thing again tonight. interested to see how having food in me affects it.

141 after run... lmao



workout: light recovery #2: 1 mile walk, 3.5 mile light run @ {7:27,7:23,7:39,7:44}, *stopped because stomach went nuts*, 0.5 mi walk, 3 mile light run @ {7:24,7:55,8:05}, 0.5 mi walk, 2 mile cool down

damn my stomach went nuts.. i think i know what did it. anyway, wanted to actually hit ~10 miles or so at < 8 min/mi, which seemed like it was possible if my stomach didn't go crazy - by mile 3 I could hear it while running. eek.





right ankle bugging a little, probably from the calf stretching earlier.. lame.. not messing with it though, hopefully tomorrow it's gone.
