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

i think i'm going to make tuesday a rest day also.. so:

- sat/sun/mon: morning 5k, evening speed work and/or jumps
- tuesday: rest
- wednesday/thursday: morning 5k, evening speed work and/or jumps
- friday: rest

seems smarter than having only one rest day on Friday ... i'm just going alot harder now, need another day.



also, i might run in my nb 5000 v2's tomorrow morning.. put them on today, they feel good right off the bat. wondering if i can use my forefoot/midfoot mechanics now in them.



also a better graph of my 400's from yesterday:

wore my NB RC5000v2's today on my ~3 mile dog walk .. man they feel so damn good it's ridiculous.. going to wear them for tomorrow morning's 5k run just to see how I like them. I set my 400m PR, mile PR, and half marathon PR in them .. but I don't think I should be running in them ALL of the time - i feel like my saucony xc flats get me on my forefoot/midfoot better (plus they are 2 oz heavier which could be good for training).

so i'm curious to see how they feel tomorrow during a 5k run.. I felt crazy light/bouncy in them earlier.

unlike my brooks mach 17's, the nb 5000v2's feel amazing when you first put them on.. My brooks don't feel so great, seems like I have to get used to them.. which is something i'm not to happy about - probably won't use them again for a long time.

my saucony shay xc4's, new balance rc5000v2's, and new balance xc700v2's all felt amazing the first time i ever put them on.. and I ran good in them the first time I ran.. so i think that's a good sign as far as "the right shoes" go.

Are you just commando or do they have something inside that feels like you have underwear on?

ya it's like a bathing suit mesh inside.

i can't imagine running "free dangle".

3 mile run: 34 mins
Felt decent and I could have gone further but I don't want to do too much.

Underwear kept riding up which annoyed me but no pains.

get u some running short-shorts... ;f

they feel weird at first but then they definitely feel better to run in than regular shorts + underwear.

place looks tight, what are you gonna do down there?

i was talking with my work wife last week again about starting our own consulting business. probably 4+ years out from being able to make a run at that (i've got my two years in pakistan coming up and then if the consulting thing is looking appealing i'd want to do a master's first to get some training in stats and econometrics -- probably princeton because it's free). it would open me up so much in terms of where to live. i'm envious of people whose jobs aren't geographically tethered. in my industry you're either in a poor country or you're in one of a few really expensive cities: geneva, london, NYC, DC. there are a few exceptions, but emphasis on "few."

that is, unless you set up shop for yourself. then you just need to be close-ish to an international airport and you can live wherever. it'd be fun to live in santa barbara, or istanbul, or barcelona, or savannah, or minneapolis.

sorry for the tangent, just something that's been on my mind.

I work in a family business (life insurance consulting- very exciting) which I am going to buy from my Dad in the next  18 months to 2 years. This is the catalyst for my move as I cannot move the company prior to taking over.  That’s all agreed and set in stone so it’s just a matter of time. The issue is that, although a lot of my work can be done via electronic means, I still need client facing meetings which would mean at least a couple of days a week of serious driving (2-3 hours each way). It’s something I’m happy to do for the potential lifestyle benefits though.

Your work sounds fascinating though and the ability to live wherever you want would be brilliant. Looks like you’ve got a fair bit of planning ahead of you before you get there but it’s pretty exciting to start thinking about that kind of future. We’re the same now that we’re planning for our future with our kids and looking at the environment we can provide for them to grow up in.  This is where we will be living once we move down there. There’s a few kms of coast line that is lined with surf beaches and has numerous running/hiking tracks along it. It’s only 5k from the town centre too.




damn @ those pics..  :headbang:
