submax form running: ~3.17 mi in 28:50 min
- 5k: ~28:15 min/s
- looks really slow, but, kinda the point.
- most all of the run was midfoot - for some reason my body wanted me to go midfoot as opposed to the light heel->toe that i've been doing.
- each mile was ~9 min/mi
- worked alot on really quick GCT
- last ~.17 mi was ~6 min/mi .. which is kinda nice .. I just decided to finish with some power. it's hard to get back into 'fast mode' when i'm running in slow motion.

happy with it.. legs felt really good/bouncy.

left calf burning after.. nooo!

i see, that sounds good then. i'll probably run no longer than a mile too. it was just the losing weight/muscle thing from the extra cardio that i was concerned with though, but i guess if i wanna run guess i'll have to stuff myself afterwards. also something related, when i was in the 12th grade, it was when i seriously started bulking up, started squatting and sometimes deadlifting, and went from weighing 110 the last year to 160. for gym class, we had to run the 1.5 mile, and i remember absolutely smashing my last year's PR that year. i think that bulking up and having the extra muscle helped even though 1.5 is more long distance.

damn 110 to 160 in 12th grade is either a late growth spurt or alot of needed eating!

i also remember having more stamina and energy, and definitely had a lot more power.

nice!

what happened to your vert too? it also go up?

Looks like I have to start eating a small meal before workouts. For some reason I can run on an empty stomach but I can't lift on one.

whoa weird. for me it's the opposite. much harder to run without food.

dno. i've never been outside the US. :/  :ninja:

Am I mistaken, or didn't you go to china before, I remember you made a video about it, or was it just china town and you were just trolling us.

lmao!!! it was just a basketball gym full of asian people on one side, and black people on the other side.. that's a good memory though. :F

that was me just trolling/messing around @ 1:50 in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pI_c2dz0C_4

i'm actually glad i just re-watched that video though.. weird but cool.  :ninja:

peace man!

Basketball / Re: increasing range?

have always had trouble generating enough power when shooting beyond the arc. anyone have tips?

single arm shooting drills are importing.. do you do them? they will also help with what LBSS mentioned, using your hips more... but they also improve your 'arm + wrist flick' which is where you can get a ton of power on your jumper - ie the follow through.

it's basically just shooting 'set shots' with one arm from various places on the court. you always "start right under the hoop" then work your way out.. achieving proper release from AT LEAST the free throw line is important. If you build enough power to easily shoot freethrows using this form-shooting drill, you'll have enough power to shoot threes, that's for sure.

edit: and then of course simply taking more shots, with good form, from as far as possible.



this drill can be done with the guide hand down at your side .. it can also be done with the  guide hand in 'position' but not actually touching the ball.

also, this is perhaps the best drill to warmup for games/shooting etc.. I would always just warmup with ~50 or so single arm shots from pretty much right under the basket .. making sure my hips were square, using my legs properly, shooting arm is an L, extend completely through the shot while flicking the wrist.

the best warmup to "wake up your mechanics", IMHO.

hmm, been looking at your log and now am interested in sprinting too now, maybe even running.

cool!

just don't go 100% max with sprinting initially.. can really tax your hamstrings.

also with running, don't do crazy volume either to start with..

basically, start slow.. see if you like it. I imagine you'd love sprinting at least. I think it's my favorite activity right now among the 3.

edit: also, if you get into running.. perhaps the most important thing I can tell you is, make sure you have the right socks; non friction. I've had success with new balance non-friction socks. If you wear the wrong socks, you run the risk of wrecking your toes/toenails. (and obviously you want the right size shoes etc).

i see. and okay, also a good thing ive been hitting deadlifts and leg curls hard though. yea, the last time i did sprints was almost 2 years ago now, and i really enjoyed it then. sounds good for the running part. i was more into distance running in my early teens, so i guess i have some experience. i probably won't get too much into it though, cause i dont want it to affect my main goal of 40 inch vert/11 ft touch. currently am 6 ft 150 lbs and just kinda struggling to maintain that cause i dont have much of an appetite. probably when i get older though, have been missing the runner's high for quite a while now lol

ya i don't really get any runner's high with these 3 mile runs. I think I got it on my long runs ~10+ mi.

fwiw, some of the best/most consistent jump sessions I was having, is when I ran ~1 mi very fast or tried to PR my 1 KM to the court. So even just that amount of running is probably good for us, but it didn't seem like enough to actually hurt my vert at all .. in fact it almost seems to do the opposite. I feel much more ready to go when I get to the court. I was running to the court alot, but my left ankle was flaring up a bit so i've been doing light sprints instead to get warmup.

anything above 1 mi seems almost "random" .. i've jumped great after running 2-6 miles, and then i've also jumped horrible. So those distances are definitely more risky (but i'm also jumping directly after running).
