Yeah I actually felt good. I did the sprints a couple of hours after I'd done the squats but my legs felt great. No tightness or anything. If I'd done 200m I would've had glute lock, but I haven't attempted a ME 200m for ages.

Bench-
barx12
60x8
80x5
100x3
90x7
90x6 need to get stronger triceps

Chin Ups (6kg)

when you do an ME 200m, what's your "strategy"?

in my noob state, I just attempt a fast start until about ~30m, run hard until about ~100m, then i'd go all out the last 100m.

I don't have one. I just try and run as fast as I can until I die out. If I've got fitness usually that is around the 160m mark but because of momentum that last 40m is still done in around 5 seconds. For what it's worth I try and do the Maurice Greene style at the start (hold my head down and slowly rise up and am full upright after 13 steps).

cool thanks!

- you are gonna need a new trophy cabinet soon!

hah ya.. i already do. I have everything on this small table and now I can't put my plaque on it.. too much stuff on there.. i've never been into collecting trophies but, for some reason, i've kept all of these running trophies. Some of them are pretty cool though - for example, the glass/crystal one.

motivating me to get some new running shoes and get back into it!

sick!!!

i don't recommend those new balance RC5000v2's anymore but, that's just because (like you) I really do prefer 0-drop.. my saucony shay xc4's are nearly 2oz heavier but I run faster in them because the architecture of the shoe just gives me so much more spring/bounce. I feel mushy in my NB 5000V2's.

what kind of shoes are you thinking of getting?

ya the glass one was real nice. with the plaques and stuff, can you wall mount them..that could be pretty cool?

ya, dno if i want to do that though. right now i just have it propped up against some of the other trophies jaja.

in regards to the shoes - i literally couldn't find the RC5000v2's in the UK anywhere, even NB Minimus trails are hard to find here bleh. I will have a search and see if i can find a retailer for the sauconys somewhere, they seem to be a bit cheaper than the NB anyway. I'm super broke atm so it's gonna be after christmas now anyway, maybe see what there is in the sale.

ya and if you ever find something like my saucony shay xc4's, they are extremely cheap and worth a try. I mean I get mine for $29-39 USD from easybay and sites like that.

saucony does have a shoe that i've always been tempted to try, the Endorphin Racer:

http://fellrnr.com/wiki/Saucony_Endorphin

It's 0-drop and extremely light (~3.x oz) .. it looks similar to my nb rc500v2's but the 5000's have a 4mm drop so.. could be more along my liking.. but just the fact that it looks so similar has prevented me from trying it.. my saucony shay xc4's look more like 'sprinting shoes' and definitely feel that way, so just sticking to those for now.. but the lightness + drop + saucony brand does entice me.

I felt so good when i was running 3-4x a week though,

nice! ya, I like how I feel right now.. relaxed/loose/healthy (for the most part).

running/sprinting is just so damn human.. almost seems necessary in life.

especially around my home home there were some real nice trails, now i'm back at university in a city it's a little less inspiring but there's still some pretty nice parks and stuff around

you should be able to run even faster in those parks (I imagine) if they have asphalt paths/sidewalks etc.. that's a big bonus.

would you be able to run on the roads?

i've never really done any trail running.. i have run on some dirt/grass/rocky paths but they aren't really trails, so I don't really know much about that life.. if I had nice trails around, i'd have to run them slow and just enjoy the scenery/outdoors, I imagine.. right now I don't really run to enjoy any scenery.. there's nothing really enjoyable about the way I train, other than the feeling of the effort/intensity and the numbers/future goals.

a good example is this Fantasy of Lights race I ran in the other day.. I imagine lots of people ran it nice and slow with their families, and enjoyed the x-mas lights etc.. but everyone trying to run PR's/fast probably didn't notice any of it. If I try and think about the x-mas lights, most of it is a blur. I do remember a few because they were funny.

once I start running fast, I start zoning out and become more "robotic".

I wonder if that's normal.. I imagine it is.. but i'll maybe ask some of those people I run with tomorrow if they go to the track. These people I run with at the track, they've all done like 20+ marathons, tons of 5k's, it's ridiculous.. they are running addicts.. pretty cool tho.

pc!!

Busy couple days...life has been rough. Taking lots of aggression out on weights and the rim. Marriage is over. Were just not compatible i guess outside the ridiculous chemical and physical bond. That and the effort wasnt there. So...much anger. Lets make gains.

First game was Wednesday night 24 hours after shit went to hell. It was chippy...bunch of no calls. We won by 35 iirc. I missed a monster putback dunk in the 2nd quarter but had a couple sick assists on the break and had 17 points in only 15 mins lol!

Deadlifts just now...

Weighed in at 177.5lbs.

2 hours of sleep.

Fuck it. Lets go for a PR.

warmups...ton of various jumps

Deads:
135 x8, 225 x4, 315 x1, 405 x1, 465 x1. Motherfuckin  Yasssss. Felt STRONG too. should have gone for 475.

5x3 at 435lbs. 3RM  Last set was brutal. Supersetted each set with 2 box jumps at 40".

BSS, calves, box jumps, core.
Ham curls, glute kick backs, box jumps, core.
Lightweight box squats...few more jumps.

Awesome night. Stoked to pull 465. Especially at 177lbs!

damn...... ~500 deadlift club is not too far away. beast.

we should have made a deadlift icon when Hickson used to be on the forum.. i'd use it right now.
