i think you should take the opposite approach.. call yourself "flash", or "fma" (fastest man alive) etc.. maybe you'll be able to trick the governor we have in our brains/nervous systems that keeps us slow.

Shoes / A shoe specifically for dunking
« on: August 26, 2016, 10:43:33 am »
I wrote this on NB's facebook today.. curious if I get a response:

Quote
Andrew Darqui cool article. Hey New Balance , when are you going to make a shoe specifically for dunkers? :F The dunk community is constantly growing. We need a shoe that is somewhat like an XC flat, light (~5 oz) & bouncy - helps you spring off your toes easier, but also is a bit stronger in the sole.. maybe has a plate in it. Basketball shoes are too bulky and clunky. We don'' need all of that extra support - it just weighs us down, makes our runups slower, reduces "feel" of the ground. Dunkers need a very light, low top, springy shoe, but with a little bit stronger sole. For what it's worth, I jump/dunk in XC 900 v2's ... if they had a stronger sole, they would probably be perfect. Just a request........ There's a TON of dunk addicts out there who you could target; people literally just train to dunk now because it's so much fun & makes for great videos on youtube etc.

ye he was, especially with a trainer like that, make good use of his speed. I would have loved to see naseem hamed vs floyd mayweather both in their primes, the banter, the antics lol.

now that would be sick.. there would be lots of bouts of inaction, but, the chess game of it, speed, slickness, and swagger would be off the charts.

at featherweight though, I got mayweather jr.. he's got serious power below 140.

second session felt pretty good, even though i'm pretty sore. felt very bouncy/strong. made me feel good, because these last two morning sessions have really sucked.

really need to get back to focusing on my form.. i was doing really good when I told myself, "running is useless if i'm not trying to run like a kenyan"  :ninja: .. ie, don't just resort to the equivalent of slouched posture in a chair, in running.. really pop off of my foot, short gct, locking ankle, using hips more, using arms more, etc. it's not as easy as "slouching" (running noob-like) obviously. but, quality over quantity was working good for me, for a while.. need to make sure I stick to it.

not much coding today.. dog's rash + other things sucking up a bunch of my time.. and morning runs are making me more mentally tired.. but that should disappear soon as I get more used to waking up early & running early.

oh, ALSO.. need to make sure I get some calories in before my morning runs.. going to drink a tall glass of orange juice tomorrow when I wake up.

funny.. this morning i could barely move.. cramped up, couldn't run much better than 7 min/mi pace. felt so horrible.

but as usual, running at night (alot cooler + more awake), easily could run low 5 min/mi pace and even under, for shorter intervals.

just incredible how much better I felt running at night.. I went out there with the goal of running relaxed intervals to simply work on form - had like 10000x more bounce than in the morning. At the end I turned it up a bit.



I don't want to give up running in the morning though.. I need to do it. I would like to run EARLIER though.. eventually around 7 AM or so.



note to self: a nice split would be:

day 1, morning:
- short warmup, a few form drills
- short run, ~3 mi

day 1, evening:
- warmup: some pullups etc & form work
- then a ton of relaxed but fast short intervals (100m-800m), working on form. focusing on form is key.


day 2, morning:
- short warmup, a few form drills
- short run, ~3 mi

day 2, afternoon:
- warmup
- some jumps
- some near max effort sprints
- finish off with some heavy high rep lifting


^^ I can't lift at night because of the mosquitos..


throw in a dunk session or long run when I feel like it.


so far i'm liking that. i really need to fall into something I stay 100% consistent with AND get better at running in the morning. I need to get myself ready to "peak" at ~7:30 AM, come November.

Errol spence knocked out bundu severely to get the win. It generated 6mil viewers and 4.35m approx stayed for the whole fight.
I didnt watch it just this hightlight and knockout was brutal and bundu came out fast but uneffective towards the end.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-x_B5jKvSY" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-x_B5jKvSY</a>

ya i watched it. i was going to post about it but got sidetracked.

spence is legit.. man he tore bundu apart .. and bundu is really tough/shifty.

impressive.

When I saw that I was like... wait is Vuyani Bungu still fighting?

He isn't lol...  But with boxers I wouldn't put it past him.  That guy was awesome.

for some reason i dont remember bungu.. but, first hit on youtube:

man i absolutely suck training in the heat. my dad however, is a monster in the heat. It doesn't seem to affect him much at all. When he's playing tennis, it could be scorching out and he looks fine. He gets alot of wins like this; people can't handle the south florida summer heat/humidity, so he will lose the first set, then wreck them in sets 2 & 3. When I was playing against him, mid-day, i'd be absolutely dripping with sweat like a faucet and he'd be fine.

my morning run today sucked so bad .. apparently it was "feels like 98 F" (what's the term for this?) out.

i posted a link to an article in the running articles thread: http://www.adarq.org/800m-running-andor-conditioning/various-running-articles/msg124307/#msg124307

but ya basically, i'm not too worried about how crappy i'm running because:
1. i've been pretty sore
2. i havent been running 3 milers much at all lately
3. my 1 mile times were improving decently the last few months
4. it's just so damn hot/humid out that it destroys me

i've been trying to wakeup earlier .. that's one reason i haven't done any races this summer, because I just haven't been able to wakeup early & all of the races are at 7:30 AM. So, trying to get that on track and hopefully i'll be able to get some runs in BEFORE it becomes absolutely scorching. I think though, once I realized how hot this summer was going to be, racing didn't seem as fun to me.. it should cool down (especially in the mornings) come october/november .. and November is that Tamarac Turkey Trot which I ran 20:08 in last year. I'd like to crush that time this year.
