woord. just got my auto-generated code stuff finally working (the app works again).. basically lost 2 weeks of work coding the forum by working on this auto-generation stuff.. but, was well worth it. ~2,000 lines of code for the auto-generation library, then ~100 lines of code using it, so say ~2100, yields 16,000+ lines of generated code that I would have had to actually manually write.

winning.

edit: I already wrote those 16k manually.. so now I get to throw that out. And now moving forward, I won't have to write any of that boilerplate. double winning.



hoping to get something done tomorrow, but going to be hard with:
1. heat game
2. 60 minutes
3. game of thrones
4. silicon valley
5. veep
6. john oliver

lmao.

gn!

Miami Heat / Charlotte Hornets game 7 today @ 1:30 PM ET.

Pacers / Toronto game 7 today @ 8 PM ET.



Spurs absolutely destroyed OKC.. Barkley picked OKC to upset the Spurs, lool. Durant is a free agent after this season, peace out.



i'm a heat fan soo.. hope they get into the second round. Love their team this year, mix of vets and young hungry players. Hornets are impressive though. I'll be watching more of Kemba Walker next year. ;f

a few days ago, Austin Rivers gutsy performance in game 6:

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/15431229/austin-rivers-los-angeles-clippers-leaves-game-cut-left-eye



21 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds in 31 minutes.. and playing with 11 stitches around his eye.

beast.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee a little
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- skater jump x 10

- one-step RVJ x 5

- DLRVJ x 8
a bit inconsistent but hit 36+ a couple times. best jump was the third or fourth after i reminded myself to relax and stay loose.

- half daily routine

gym should be open around noon tomorrow, got my buddy lined up to come throw some lobs. felt okay today, hoping for big jumps tomorrow. will try not to get too amped in the morning, that leads to overthinking which leads to tightness which leads to shit jumping.

ooo nice!

Shoes / Re: New Balance 5000v2 - Spikeless running shoes

ah awesome! after looking at pics of them new i thought they would shred up so fast but it appears not!

ya I thought the same too when I first got them.. thought those little gear-like grips on the bottom would just shred quick. I was worried about having to buy my next pair in a few months... HEH!


Quote
would the grip be enough for xc/trail or would you stick to road/track stuff?

well, they'd feel good for xc/trail but, I think they'd tear up alot quicker if you were running on rocks and such. It's like a "foam" substance for the sole, instead of some hard rubber. You can see in the pic some pieces of it shredding off/sanding down. So even though you could run on those surfaces and they would feel good/protective, I think they'd get beat up quicker.

If the trail surface is mostly dirt/grass, I think they'd hold up well.


Quote
i imagine they feel pretty good to walk around in with the extra cushioning over more minimalist models?

ya they feel good just walking around. I don't walk around in them outside of training but, you just forget they are on your feet. feelsgood.


Quote
gonna try find some over here, maybe a new balance outlet or something in the city might have some.

nice! I called an NB outlet here prior to buying them online, they didn't carry them.


Quote
crazy they aren't more popular

ya i don't even think they are listed on the "running" section of newbalance.com .. i don't get it.



If you get a pair, i'm definitely curious to see how fast you adapt to them (and how much you enjoy running in them) given your preference of minimalist/zero drop shoes (like myself). I got used to them VERY quick.. I don't even think about running in my XC flats/vibrams/minimus anymore ;f. They actually made me care less about 0 drop vs ~5mm drop shoes.

Shoes / Re: New Balance 5000v2 - Spikeless running shoes
« on: May 01, 2016, 01:43:40 am »
easily my favorite shoes to run in, ever.

here's a few pics of how my nb 5000 v2's have held up after 600+ miles:









Is that not ridiculous, for 3.6 oz shoes? Those little grip gears on the bottom of the shoe, mostly look new. The only missing pieces of grip seem to be on my left shoe where perhaps my heel has gotten more work, OR, due to jumping. Because prior to jumping I only had a few of the pieces of grip missing on my left shoe. The shoes themselves look like they've held up quite well imho. The grip on my XC flats (NB, SAUCONY) is nowhere near as new looking/feeling as these, and they have ~half of the volume.

These things are built like tanks. They feel so strong/sturdy even after all of this mileage.

just epic shoes.. can't praise them enough.

NB makes good stuff.

just removed this big monstrosity toenail on top of a toenail:






also took some pics of my NB 5000 v2's.. and found a small nail in one of them:





oh also. If you run by the canal, you can see these big ~3+ foot iguanas chillin` on the rocks:

oh duh 5k is 3.1 miles, not 3. my bad. 18:38 should be more than doable, you're less than a minute off with zero coaching and not much specific training.

ya np

also, IMHO i'd definitely be closer right now if I stopped overanalyzing my stride. Need to keep midfoot/forefoot & such out of my head.



Quote
ever think about doing 800m repeats in under 3 mins, just to learn the pace without tuckering yourself out too much?

I started doing that stuff in February after my 5k, but then I got injured.. that hamstring/calf saga that lasted approx a month. It wasn't the speed work that caused the injury, but it made it worse. So I need to be careful. Last week I planned to start incorporating more speed work into my runs, hence that mile sprint, and then a few days later trying to run the last quarter of every mile as fast as possible.. Another session I had planned was running the last half mile of every mile fast too etc (800's). So ya, definitely would like to incorporate more of that stuff in the near future.

Other things I need to get in order:
- sleep schedule
- diet (which is going gr8 lately, but need to carb up better on certain days when I need it)
- jump rope
- stretching

do you mean a 17:57 5k?

nah that would be even faster based on those 5:59 mile splits, afaik.

I like to use this calculator, it's been pretty accurate for me:

http://www.walkjogrun.net/training/marathon-pace-calculator.cfm?distance=3&distanceunit=m&duration=0%3A17%3A57

3 mi in 17:57 would be an ~18:38 5k according to that calculator. I think that's more doable than 17:5x, considering my PR 5k is 19:18 and race PR 5k is 19:29. I need to get better at pacing myself more consistently at ~6 min/mi rather than hitting a 5:5x for the first, 6:1x for the second, and 6:2x for the third etc, ie, slowing down. I need to try harder at holding the same pace throughout a run, for example on my way to the court to jump.

and I need to do all of this without going ALL OUT.. for some reason every time I decide to really push myself, it takes too long to recover.

Bio: Morning

last night's sleep: horrible until i fell asleep.. tried sleeping at 3 AM, probably actually fell asleep at 6 AM
wakeup = 2:30 PM
fell_asleep = 4 AM (predicted)
bw = 149
morning resting heart rate = didn't measure
soreness = calves slightly, right hamstring slightly
aches = right hip slightly
injuries = toenails wrekt
feel = good



Food

2:30 PM

- 2 x wheat toast with peanut butter
- beet + tart cherry juice
- green tea



Session: Evening

6 PM

getting my legs/heart/cns back.. that mile sprint several days back just destroyed me.

run to court:
- 3.87 mi in 27:11
- pace: 7:01 min/mi
- speed: 8.5 mph
- max speed: 10.5 mph
- splits: 6:42, 6:58, 7:05, ~7:22
- slightly exaggerated hip extension

happy about that run.

jumps at court:
- L-SLRVJ: ~10'4 pretty easy.. but couldn't get higher when I tried harder... hmm.

run home, with max effort SLRVJ for distance off various runups:
- 3.55 mi in 36:31
- pace: 10:18 min/mi <-- just listing for contrast
- basically slow jogging with ME SLRHJ jumps (single leg running horizontal jump) mixed in.. had some really nice ones each leg.
- I can judge distance based on how many pavement steps I clear.
- with L-SLRHJ, cleared 2 steps once, which is maybe like 8-9 feet? dno
- R-SLRHJ came close a few times but not as powerful as L-SLRHJ

jump rope:
- 4 x 200, 100 each leg in a row

heat game just started so cut jump rope short.



Food

8 PM

- whole milk


some stretching, mostly hips/glutes/quads



Food

9:30 PM

- huge stir fry: grilled chicken, okra, brussels sprouts, carrots, jalapeno, red chili pepper, garlic, olives, olive oil, salt/pepper, lemon juice, mixed nuts, some honey at the end
- orange
- some crackers
- 2 x whole milk
- biscotti

heat game playoff meal ^^



Session: Stretching

1:30 AM

- some serious stretching
- lots of hip flexor, quad, adductor, upper
- also mixed in some stretches that i havn't been doing, which I should be: kneeling - butt to heels, lying down supine and flipping legs over my head (in various positions), standing hip flexor - foot on high chair.

I should be doing those last 3 stretches near-daily.. the legs flipped over head stretch especially.. something about that stretch that seems like "magic", stretches my entire p-chain: calves, hamstrings, low back, upper back/erectors, neck etc.



Food

2:30 AM

- orange juice
- greek yogurt



I guess my main goal right now is 10'8 touch and 3 sub-6 miles (<=5:59,<=5:59,<=5:59).
