that long slow run wrecked my right soleus (just made it feel like it did prior to all of the speed work).

took another day off.

11/06/2018

<= 4:59 mile vs <= 2:59 km:
- 10 (sub5) + 11 (sub3) = 21 of 50, 29 to go!

2018: 28/37 (stay healthy!)
2017: 6/12
2016: 4/10
2015: 0/2
2006: 0/1

diet:
- ate good
- also had a double turkey/cheese sub from publix (half of a foot long, another half tmw)
- also had a top notch salad & soup

felt great after two days rest. didn't punch the gas tho.

took 2 days off after that light long run on sunday, made me feel awful. body achy, soleus hurting etc. the small break helped me recover mostly.

196 SPM on that mile effort, nice! (lower than usual)

anyway, felt good tonight.

wanted to do many more quarter mile efforts but park was closed, not smart training there like that at night.

trying to gear myself up lately for some bigger workouts (stacking hard speed volume into one workout, ie multiple sub5's and/or sub3's etc).







gn!

just now on strava, saw a follow suggestion, one of the fast folks in SFL. checked his mile PR (4:30) which I assumed was at the M&W mile last December (my first mile race of 2017).

this is funny:

https://www.strava.com/activities/1299213887/overview

Quote

Mitchell and West Holiday Family Fun Mile
I was hoping to go under 4:30 for the mile after running the 5k but really wasn't sure how much I had left. I felt okish at the gun and went out in the front off the pack. Ethan and another guy pulled ahead a little and at about 350 meters I felt like I had almost nothing left. I did my best to stay up there and pull Into 2nd with Joshua rght on me. Ethan had about 3 seconds on me at the turn around so I surged after to keep Joshua behind me. With 400 left my arms were a little numb from the effort and I tried to catch Ethan. A held off Joshua and made up some ground on Ethan but it was to little too late.

i'm the "other guy".

loool.

i started off really good in that race, but stomach was bubbling up and i just wimped out. really felt good too.

would like to do a strong mile there this year.

yesterday:

light day.

11/08/2018

<= 4:59 mile vs <= 2:59 km:
- 11 (sub5) + 11 (sub3) = 22 of 50, 28 to go!

top3 finishes:
2018: 28/37 (stay healthy!)
2017: 6/12
2016: 4/10
2015: 0/2
2006: 0/1

diet:
- ate great


09:00 AM: workout: light + hard surface acclimation (sidealk): 40 min
- https://www.strava.com/activities/1953090858

just feel too good on grass, so im going to do light recovery runs on concrete/roads for a while.



09:00 PM: workout: light recovery + hard surface acclimation @ 30 min (sidewalk)
- https://www.strava.com/activities/1954137477

this'll probably end up being a smart decision.

light recovery runs on hard surfaces, speed on grass mostly (track sometimes), races on roads (wish we had more XC).

light recovery on grass is just too "easy" on my legs, feel different when I do it on the roads (much harder impact obviously).

rest day.

race tomorrow.

left knee/calves a bit beat up, probably due to the increase in road running lately. need to re-adapt to this.

11/09/2018

<= 4:59 mile vs <= 2:59 km:
- 11 (sub5) + 11 (sub3) = 22 of 50, 28 to go!

2017: 6/12
2016: 4/10
2015: 0/2
2006: 0/1

diet:
- had a large frozen coffee w/ whipped cream at dunkin donuts.. i ordered a small like usual, but the lady likes me & gave me a large, need to tell her not to do that if she does it again, was way too much, felt like it gave me diabeetus.
- 2 x beet juice today
- salted almonds

tmw morning, i'm traveling up an hour or so to do a prize money 5k.

$300/200/100 for top 3. should be able to top 3 it, could be my first prize money earnings :D :ibrunning:

we'll see.

going to try and snap out of it tomorrow and get back to battling. November/December are important so, need to get back to being ready for war. Big races coming up.

weather should suck (rain/hot/humid).

race news:

long story short: i forgot to pay my phone bill.. so when i went to turn on the map before I got on the highway, i had no phone service.. and I had to find the race the old fashion way.. LMFAO. I knew generally where it was, so stopped at some gas stations and got it done. that was nutty tho.

probably ~5 hours sleep. going to try very hard to get up earlier, this week.

also, this race was at 7:45 AM .. given the time change, it's basically 8:45 AM weather. it was scorching hot.





11/10/2018

<= 4:59 mile vs <= 2:59 km:
- 11 (sub5) + 11 (sub3) = 22 of 50, 28 to go!

2017: 6/12
2016: 4/10
2015: 0/2
2006: 0/1

diet:
- oj/rxbar/water before race, felt ok
- ate light
- nice stir fry tho, will post photo tmw



07:45 AM: race: Zoe Loren 5k: 3rd OA (2nd male) -> $200 richer / first prize money! where-da-bag-at-where-da-bag-at-where-da-bag-at-where-da-bag-at

- http://accuchiptiming.com/images/Age_Group_Report-Zoe_Loren.htm

first mile went out with #1 OA .. played it safe after that, insanely hot. just wanted to get that $200.

sonja-beast blew by me at mile 2.

prize money was: 300/200/100 for top 3 in each gender.





decent opening mile/1km .. it was like a jog .. a jog where i was breathing "heavy". but it felt really ez, which is cool.

1st OA is a low 15's 5k guy.



06:45 PM: light + dead speed: {~800m @ 4:57 min/mi} / 1h:25m light :: (road surface, legs beat up/dead, ate too much spicy food)

who said sprinters can't run 5k's??? :ninja:

the 2nd place woman in the 5k I did yesterday, 19:56..

she's a 51.x 400m woman, olympic hopeful at the time (400m hurdles i think), like 10 years ago.

800m @ 2:05

https://www.iaaf.org/athletes/united-states/latosha-wallace-206341

i could be wrong.. but looks like the same girl from yesterday:

block 2 original post: http://www.adarq.org/progress-journals-experimental-routines/adarq's-journal/msg144606/#msg144606

Quoting this because:
1) I'm closing this block out tomorrow
2) It's absolutely batshit

Block 3 will be pretty simple:
1) <= 4:49 mile race
2) <= 16:59 5k

I'm shifting my mile race "goal" to 4:49 instead of 4:39, for one reason: roads vs grass. I run way better on grass w/ spikes. Roads really beat me up now. I think the fact that I can notice it makes me hold back more. I'd like to adapt more to roads again, so I can hit it hard to close out late November and all of December, but there's definitely a difference between roads & (track/grass) for me. I used to actually run slower on grass than roads, but I think once I got used to it and once I realized how much better I feel on grass, I just shifted my focus completely.

For example, right now my quads are destroyed. Feels like i've been squatting heavy, it's crazy. It's just the increase of road volume lately. My quads can't handle it. They'll adapt fast, i'm pretty certain of it.. but running on grass is healthier that's for sure.

Anyway, block 2 = complete.

Only thing I really failed was the 5:0X race mile. I tried that's for sure. Just picked a bad course to do it (the one with the opening (significant) hill, Trick or Trot 5k). Also failed it at Schott 5k, started out like 4:30 pace lmao.

The craziest PR out of everything in there, was probably my 2 miler @ 10:36. That was enormous. All of those mile/km PR's were kind of expected.. the 2 miler, definitely wasn't.

:D

Going to edit this post during the block:

Maybe run it until early Nov.

workout: 08:30 AM: hard speed: {400m @ 65.1 / 4:20 min/mi (mostly 4:1X)} ::: (sidewalk, legs = death) /// trying to wake my legs up, damn
- https://www.strava.com/activities/1962294295

legs feel so wrecked (quads/calves specifically). just starting the light jog i was like holy sh*t. for the 400m i just said ok let's wake something up, and gunned it. probably going to do that again tonight.

going really hard usually makes my legs feel great sooo. we'll see.

- 1060m @ 4:49 min/mi (1km = 2:58 / 4:47 min/mi) -> first sub3 1k on road :personal-record:

was really tough with the turns. started out @ 4:3X pace until the second turn.

been wondering lately if I could do this.. legs just feel awful/wrecked. big boost of confidence (i think) by getting it done on:
1) a hard path
2) with dead legs
3) hot as fu*k

also. all of my previous sub3 1k's have happened on track or grass, NEVER on road.. partly because i've only previously tried in road mile races, which there aren't many. great to get that done.

can't wait to go back to grass exclusively, in January.. lmao. feel so much healthier on grass.
