I second LBSS & raptor; aggressive arm swing.

and more aggressiveness in the runup would probably help, but, you're also jumping at a wall.. that's enough to subconsciously slow you down I imagine. Any way you could jump @ something else? maybe bball hoop/backboard/rim? You can get more accurate measurements against a wall, using tape and such.. but, it also causes some inhibition in the runup/plant/jump.

nice tho, hope to see some great results over the summer.

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!

purple shirt man was annoying me all series:

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

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

beast.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

pc!

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.

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.

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
