x2 @ seifullaah73 & chrisM

I didn't know you would be helping out your family so much once you get a high paying job.. that's awesome stuff. Makes everything you've been doing to prepare for your career even more special. It's going to feel amazing when you can help them out the way you want to.

slept in .. needed it.

i signed up for battlerunning.com but it didn't work.. so, several days later I get an email saying I won a battle.. lmao!!






i feel dead.......... which is fine, complete rest tomorrow.

i really need to get my speed up ... those ~13-14s for ~100m, need to be 12's...... ;f

I just need my 100's, 200's, and 400's to be "easier" .. need more power.

calves are "very" sore..

note to self:
- updating through the day.
- consistency consistency .. consistency.
- stop being a pussy.
- forget about what you did earlier, the day before, the week before, the year before .. focus only on the current session

goals:
- wakeup @ 5 AM
- improve:
-- 100m
-- 200m
-- 400m
-- 1 KM
-- 12 minute test
-- 5 KM
-- L-SLRVJ
-- half squat, half RDL, calf raises, BW upper

potential run protocols:
- always warmup great
- very light stretching before
- light stretching after
- paced runs: pick a pace and hold it 100%
- hold-on-for-dear-life: pick a pace, try and maintain pace for as long as possible -> measure distance maintained
- 12-minute test
- 200, 400m, 1km, 1 mile repeats
- from salazar workouts slide:
-- 6 x mile repeats with 400m jog recovery
-- 20 x 200m, with or without jog recovery
-- 8-12 x 400m, with x-second (~60s) standing recovery

training:
- finish 5k sessions with some ~150-200m max sprints

5k:
- make miles 1 & 2 the same, instead of 2 & 3
- maximally sprint (~160m) at the end of every 5k (from 3.0 to 3.1) -> need to teach myself to always tap into every last MU

markers:
- repeatable 1m:15s 400m's with ~1 minute rest in between
- max 400 under 60s

future contests:
- 10/09/2016: would need to run ~18:30 5k to win
- 11/24/2016: would need to run ~16:30 5k to win
- 12/14/2016: would need to run ~4:40 mile (holiday 1-mile race) to win

cues:
- POSTURE! RUN TALL!
- SHORT GCT
- WHEN TIRED, SHORT GCT + GET STRIDE FREQ BACK ON TRACK
- HOLD HANDS PROPERLY - RELAXED
- STAY RELAXED

warning:
- ALWAYS WARMUP PROPERLY
- DO NOT OVERSTRETCH
- GET ENOUGH SLEEP

weird:
- CREATE IMAGINARY RUNNING FRIENDS & RUN WITH THEM

how come?
- HOW COME I CAN'T ADD ~20m A WEEK TO MY ~13+ MPH PACE?? :f

pre-run meals:
-
theories:
- Think "run beautiful" not "run hard"
-- ^^ has alot to do with how I strike the ground, breathe, don't tighten up, etc
- Really big gulping inhalations through the mouth, prior to a run, could help to get the lungs to wake up.
- Static (short-holds - 5-10s) stretching before running to help me relax, feel loose
- Less (good) fat / More carb = winning

nico is flying on this miss

man his instagram has so much crazy stuff.. dude is a beast.

feel pretty beat up .. no morning session tomorrow. Probably going to try to PR my 1-mile in the evening... full rest saturday. race sunday. :F 

so weird about the 'muscle pain' in the bottom of my left foot & my right heel.

the left foot happened as soon as i put on my running shoes (nb 5000v2's).. prior to that, no pain.. nothing all day. felt 100% fine. same with the right shin muscles. that's ODD.

the right heel "stinging" almost feels like I stepped on some glass.. maybe I did.
