edited a video of all the clips together for YT, and video editor crashed on export & lost it.. will re-do it later. tons of software issues getting these clips up, the state of software is just a complete train wreck.

here's some stuff:

love how this photo came out:

10/28/2017

diet:
06:00 AM: quarter watermelon, black coffee, tea + 3 tspn cane sugar
08:00 AM: workout: track
08:00 AM: sipped some sweetened tea on and off
10:00 AM: finished sweetened tea, rxbar
11:00 AM: 2% milk, coconut water, grapefruit, tea + 5 tspn cane sugar
12:00 PM: saute'd huge yam in olive oil/salt/pepper, chicken skewer, coconut water
05:00 PM: water w/ 2 lemon, siggis, 2 x sourdough bread
08:00 PM: 2% milk + protein, water w/ 1 lemon, tea + 3 tspn cane sugar

not journaling today .. videos/photos wrecked me, due to the time wasted. also, out of nowhere sick af. been raining like crazy around here, and just felt ultra amp'd today and now coming off of it. after the amp'd feeling finally disappeared, noise won't stop running.

whatever.

right ear was clogged like crazy too, but interesting how some hot tea with sugar opened it up instantly.

141 this morning.

4 x 400m with 100m jog rest went well (mostly sub 5 effort it seems), cramped up afterwards during a very slow 1 mile, which was supposed to just be a chill segment before 8 x 200m with 100m jog rest.

so lame.

https://www.strava.com/activities/1250760845



the thing that throws everything a little off is the slow/careful accelerations, which is deliberate.. the "avg moving pace" is more accurate:





good effort.

edit: my rest is solid, two of those rest periods are under 60s !

44.6, 50.8, 66.2 !!! good stuff.

workout: light long run, was going great, until i got derailed by my arch nemesis at mile 8. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
- https://www.strava.com/activities/1252241555

instead of quitting, i just kept trying to relax and walk it out .. then try to run again. Took until mile ~13 or so before I could keep running, and finished with like 4 slow miles. really sucks but whatever. It was a sharp stomach cramp on my right side like usual.

wanted ~15 miles @ ~7:50 (<8:XX).

oh well, still got some decent work in.





was going good.. good HR, good pace :/

Well, my high volume week is done: put in 91.8 miles. Feel pretty good, felt like I handled it well. Cramping ruined two workouts (yesterday and today), so that sucks.

Here's the tentative plan for now. I have it detailed in my head even further - I mapped it all out during various lighter runs where I can think easily (lol), which I may edit in.

This coming week is lighter.

Week: 10/30/2017 - 11/05/2017
- 5k race on 11/04/2017
- Monday: complete rest
- Tuesday
-- morning: 2 miles hard (@ < 5:40 avg, maybe), 1 mile moderate
-- evening: 4 x 400m with 100m jog rest, 8 x 200m with 100m jog rest
- Wednesday:
-- morning: very light recovery run: 5+ miles
-- evening: very light recovery run: 5+ miles
- Thursday:
-- morning: 3 x 1 mile light (sub 6 though)
-- evening: 4 x 400m with 100m jog rest
- Friday:
-- morning: very light recovery run: <= 3 miles
-- evening: very light recovery run: <= 3 miles
- Saturday:
-- morning: 5k race, with emphasis on a hard 2 miles
-- evening: light long run
- Sunday: complete rest

Week: 11/06/2017 - 11/12/2017: high volume, no race

Week: 11/13/2017 - 11/19/2017: moderate volume, 5k race
- 5k race on 11/18/2017

Week: 11/20/2017 - 11/26/2017: moderate volume, more 5k races
- 5k race on 11/23/2017
- 5k race on 11/25/2017

Week: 11/27/2017 - 12/03/2017: moderate volume, 1 mile race
- 1-mile race on 12/02/2017

Week: 12/04/2017 - 12/10/2017: low volume, 1 mile race
- 1 mile race on 12/06/2017

Week: 12/11/2017 - 12/17/2017: low volume, 1 mile race, 5k race
- 1-mile race on 12/13/2017
- 5k race on 12/17

Deload until 12/31/2017

peace!

A few more angles, uploaded a compilation of the clips, with some slight editing, to youtube. Used "lightworks" for video editing, it's decent. I could do some things with it eventually.

thing i noticed in your running vids/pics that may be neither here nor there: you hold your chin quite far up/forward, and the back of your neck is really short. wonder what difference it'd make to cue yourself to run taller. personally if i cue myself straighten my neck out, or think "giant pulling a string up through the crown of my skull," my shoulders relax back automatically and my posture improves. i think, although should get vid to verify, that the reverse is also true: the relaxed shoulders cue i give myself while running straightens out my neck.

Going to rest again today: AELS AETS AERS  :ibsquatting:  :wowthatwasnutswtf: :ibrunning:
- still sick, but it's almost cleared up .. with this "cold weather" & a 5K on sat, going to get an extra day.
- back of right knee is slightly tight .. this is some kind of weird tightness that happens to my calf/knee on occasion, it's best not to run through it, as it can get really bad. I started feeling it yesterday. Today it's actually a little less. I think stiff leg calf stretches seem to trigger it. I just did some loaded stretches outside though, and they actually felt great. So I think it's the some of the stretches where I force my foot into dorsiflexion with a straight leg.

man.. the pups love this weather. been 55-65 F the last few days. The big one doesn't get tired in this weather, normally after 15-30 minutes he's toast. He can go forever in cool weather though. They are also so frisky & happy, just running around going nuts, and rolling around. hah.

new shoes should arrive soon :headbang: :ibrunning:

yo! thanks! I agree, that's the first thing I noticed too, when I saw the videos. This is why eventually, I need to record some key workouts, so I can really see what's going on in the actual workout.

Since watching that vid, i've been consciously trying to "walk taller" during my dog walks and during my workouts (only did one workout since taking the vid). So i'm going to start there and see if I can get my general posture to improve a bit when i'm upright. During the walks, I notice my "tall posture" fades after a few minutes or some kind of interruption, then needs to be "reset". I've also been wondering if my posture is responsible for some of the cramps I get. I get a few different kinds, stomach and abdominal. Wondering if some kind of postural weakness contributes to the abdominal cramps.

I noticed something interesting a week or so ago: I feel really good when i'm walking and put my hands on top of my head, and just allow them to "force downward". Seems like my posture improves alot and my hip extension/plantar flexion seems to improve also. I walk slower because of no arm movement, but I can feel an extra few degrees of ROM. I think this is one of the main reasons why running tall helps, it triggers more of a "pogo" in the calves and gives you more hip extension.

So ya, trying to be more aware of walking tall, and maybe even warming up tall during workouts, and then just try to relax and run .. so the tall stuff "prior" becomes more of a "drill effect". That's how i'm approaching it in the short term. I've forced running tall before too much and it is just one more thing I don't want to think about, so if I can get it to happen more naturally, i'll be happy with that.

btw, the "giant pulling a string up through the crown of my skull" cue leaves me with some weird imagery .. like some twisted artwork from one of those old books of fables. HEH! Makes sense though.

this is a good photo because it has these two in different phases, with no shirts:



Mo's posture is always epic.

peace!!

green endorphin's and black carrera's just arrived, i think they both fit well! endorphin's maybe 0.25" too big, but that's not enough to be a problem.
