Bio: Morning
last night's sleep: 9 hours
last night fell asleep: ~10 PM
- yay!
wakeup = 7 AM.
- eek!
bw = 149 lb.
morning resting heart rate = didn't measure
soreness = calves slightly
aches = none
injuries = 2 toenails turning black
standing desk (when on computer): not much
feel = tired
water = alot
mosquito bites: 2
Food
7 AM
- banana
- english muffin
- water
Session: Stretching
7:30 AM
- some quad stretching
Session: Morning
8 AM
- nb 5000v2's
warmup:
- tired but decent power
run: 2.02 mi in 12:03
- 2 consecutive sub 6 miles: almost PR
- 2-miles: 11:56
- splits: 5:53, 6:02

- i probably could have gotten it .. but i actually wrecked myself right out of the start: I went really hard the first 200-300m, and since I felt like crap, it made me want to quit.. so by ~300m I was contemplating quitting.. then i snapped out of it.
- also ............. SPRINTING OUT OF EVERY TURN = WINNING .. even if it's only for a few seconds.
- I HAVE TO ADOPT that strategy every run.. that's what helped snap me back into a decent pace, every time I came out of a turn slower.

look at that massive drop in the beginning....

speed finisher: progressively more intense ~97m with light jog back recovery
- 6x
- dead but had lots of power.
- max speed: 16.7 mph .. nice
1. 24.6s (7:50 min/mi)
2. 18.6s (5:46 min/mi)
3. 16.2s (5:05 min/mi)
4. 15.2s (4:41 min/mi)
5. 14.6s (4:41 min/mi)??
6. 13.6s (4:12 min/mi) - (max 3:24 min/mi, 16.7 mph)

Session: Evening

Food
8 PM
- 2% milk
- banana
Food
9 PM
- 1/2 ham & cheese sandwich
- 2 x banana
- 2% milk
- almond joy
Food
10 PM
- 2% milk
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
