RACE STRATEGY FOR 11/23/2017 Tamarac Turkey Trot 5k!!!!

Strategy: go hard as possible for 2 miles. done.

:ninja: :ibrunning: :ninja:

2016's results:

https://www.strava.com/activities/784300760/overview
http://www.adarq.org/progress-journals-experimental-routines/adarq's-journal/msg127150/#msg127150
- 18:29
- splits: 5:21, 6:04, 6:21, no sprint finish

2017 goal:
- splits: mile 1 = HARD, mile 2 = HARD, mile 3 = sub 6 if possible, sprint finish.

So, if it's anything like last year, that's going to be:
- splits: 5:1X, 5:2X, 5:5X, sprint finish

Again this is a winning strategy. If I achieve #1 (hard 2 miles, staying with leaders), then i'm basically in #3 contention even if I run a crappy 3rd mile. Top 3 would be amazing, but not even considering it.

2016 top 3:
- #1 = 16:25 / 5:17 per mile
- #2 = 16:38 / 5:22 per mile
- #3 = 17:16 / 5:35 per mile

Here's the #3 guy's splits from last year:

17:16 / 5:34 per mile @ 5:28, 5:39, 5:34, sprint finish (4:49 pace).

I remember him passing me a little after the first mile :D



Here's 2015, as you can see it was even faster, 16:00 5k winner, right at that master's cut off :D

http://www.splitsecondtiming.com/results/2015/tamarac2015.php




whatever.. 2017.. bring it. :ibrunning: :ibsquatting: :ibjumping: :ibrunning:

Just by reading 'Go hard 2 miles' I'm running out of breath. Good luck with that  :highfive:.
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

hahahahahaha!!

look what I did on the 11/22/2016, yet the turkey trot 5k was on 11/24/2017:

http://www.adarq.org/progress-journals-experimental-routines/adarq's-journal/msg127073/#msg127073

Quote
speed 1: 6 x 800m (or 810m, lane2) @ 5:55 min/mi pace

speed 2: 11 x 400m @ first two sub 5's, last 9 low 5's

A hard af track workout with only 1 day rest, then the 5k race.. haha. Such a noob.

 :uhhhfacepalm: :uhhhfacepalm: :uhhhfacepalm: :uhhhfacepalm:

Also, my diet was absolute sh*t compared to what it is now.

I emailed the director of that 10k race I went too.. I asked her to post the video from the pace car, raw.. no editing, no music, nothing. Usually they post some clips of the race in a highlight video. I requested the raw video as well, so that everyone can watch it.

Many hours later..... She responds, saying that's a GREAT IDEA.

epic.

hope they post it.

word, all that makes sense.

nice!!

Quote
the USATF masters all-american standard for 35-39 year olds in the 5k is 16:00. that is flying. go get it.

https://www.nationalmastersnews.com/aas/AAS_TF_MENimp.pdf

Whoa that's kinda crazy, and ya definitely flying.. If I stay healthy, i'll get that for sure, especially the 4:40 mile. I mention health alot, because it's still #1 on my mind. If I can stay dedicated & focused, while also remaining healthy, I really feel i'm capable of some crazy running performances, 1000x crazier relative to what I achieved with dunking (vert). I've found my home with this running stuff.. my body isn't "trying to revert" like it was with dunking. With running, I feel like I can just "fully express my genetics", versus trying to "defy my genetics". It's such a different feeling..

it's kinda crazy how the 65-69 standard 200m is faster than me right now.. lmfao.

peace!!

Is All American elite or top 10%?

16:00 is elite. there's no way on god's green earth that 16:00 is the 90th percentile for all ages, let alone masters.

just checked actually and 16:00 would have placed 12th at the 2015 world masters athletics outdoor championships in the M35 category (i.e. 35-39 year-olds). that's pretty good.
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

I thought that was the case. The only reason I asked was because my perception got skewed from a huge outlier- Kim Collins.

The All American standard for the 100m in 40-44 year old class is 11.5. Kim Collins ran a 9.93 at the age of 41 :o

I'd be All American standard for the 55m, 60m, 100m & 200m for the 35-39 class...if I was 12 years older :trolldance:

lol ^^ just maintain that 100m you got... good motivation to do so :D

those sprint times are mind blowing to me.. I can't imagine achieving those times as I continue aging, but I can imagine hitting the middle distance times.. again might be naive, but it's just interesting how that works: like I would LOVE to be able to run as fast as Kim Collins at 40+, or any age, but that's more of a DREAM than something based in reality. Contrast that to seeing Kevin Castille run sub 15 5k's and sub 30 10k's at 45, and I can envision it like it's a true reality. So there's dream goals, which you can still work towards obviously, but then there's also goals that, though they seem so "lofty", seem entirely possible. It's just interesting when you can really feel you can achieve something, versus feeling it somewhat but maybe wanting it more than you can feel it.. just some rambling but, the psychology of this stuff is important. :ninja:

peace!!

16:00 is elite. there's no way on god's green earth that 16:00 is the 90th percentile for all ages, let alone masters.

just checked actually and 16:00 would have placed 12th at the 2015 world masters athletics outdoor championships in the M35 category (i.e. 35-39 year-olds). that's pretty good.

I thought that was the case. The only reason I asked was because my perception got skewed from a huge outlier- Kim Collins.

The All American standard for the 100m in 40-44 year old class is 11.5. Kim Collins ran a 9.93 at the age of 41 :o

I'd be All American standard for the 55m, 60m, 100m & 200m for the 35-39 class...if I was 12 years older :trolldance:

lol ^^ just maintain that 100m you got... good motivation to do so :D

those sprint times are mind blowing to me.. I can't imagine achieving those times as I continue aging, but I can imagine hitting the middle distance times.. again might be naive, but it's just interesting how that works: like I would LOVE to be able to run as fast as Kim Collins at 40+, or any age, but that's more of a DREAM than something based in reality. Contrast that to seeing Kevin Castille run sub 15 5k's and sub 30 10k's at 45, and I can envision it like it's a true reality. So there's dream goals, which you can still work towards obviously, but then there's also goals that, though they seem so "lofty", seem entirely possible. It's just interesting when you can really feel you can achieve something, versus feeling it somewhat but maybe wanting it more than you can feel it.. just some rambling but, the psychology of this stuff is important. :ninja:

peace!!

Yeah those times are crazy but also inspiring at the same time. What the mind can believe the body can achieve. I know it sounds like I'm dreaming but personally I believe if I improved my lifestyle and got my shit together along with increasing my strength (squats) I would be able to go sub 7 for 60m and sub 11 seconds for 100m. The sad thing is my 100m PR is 11.25 and I did that in high school!!! At 27 I should be at the peak of my athletic abilities but poor lifestyle choices along with relatively poor strength levels have avoided me from doing so (as well as not training for sprinting at all apart from a couple of months in 2013 where I ran a 11.37 before tearing my hamstring). My motivation is that a lot of 100m sprinters run PRs in their early-mid 30's. I know I play rugby league and my focus is on rugby but once I get my strength levels up to scratch (and my bodyfat in check) it's definitely at the back of my mind to run a couple of track meets and see what I can do.

Edit- I've got natural top speed. The day I ran the 11.37 100m I ran a 7.49 60m so my top speed is >10 seconds/m. The problem is I haven't had a 6 pack since I was in high school and my squat has been at a paltry level, which has prevented me from having power and the acceleration you need to run a fast 60m.

man, I have no doubt you can do it, if you just stay focused and address all the small details, and obviously stay healthy. Just DO NOT RUSH it. Think LONGGGG TERRMMMM. That'll help you not rush and train through injury/pain that you shouldn't etc. Health is #1.. but you've got the kind of times, build, speed, whatever it is, that puts you very near those numbers you want, if you dial NEARLY EVERYTHING in, over time.

also, don't worry as much about the times as simply "reaching your peak". To me that's a very important mental change i've made. I just want to peak my athletic abilities, and the times & race wins will follow. This, just like dunking, is going to be a long process. Looking more at 2020 than I am 2017, 2018, or 2019 etc.

my 2 cents!!

go get it man.

ok i'm off to sleep!

gn folks.
