Bio: Morning

sleep = 7 hr
wakeup = 7 AM
bw = 156 lb.
morning resting heart rate = 43
soreness = glutes slightly, quads slightly
aches = left wrist slightly
injuries = toenails wrekt
bananas = 3
feel = tired



upper abdominals felt good today.. so basically cleared up. felt it once or twice but not worth listing as still a problem.

toenails have been feeling alot better in my New Balance 5000v2's.. still wrecked but, not feeling them at all in these shoes.  :wowthatwasnutswtf:




Food

7:30 AM

- 1 x orange juice
- 1 x greek yogurt



Session: Morning

8:00 AM - 8:40 AM

calisthenics:
- mostly upper, but also some lower
- felt strong but didn't do much crazy stuff since I trained at home
- did more holds
- lower was cool: did single leg rdl's while holding my off-ankle and stretching my quad, heel to butt.. so did these at a variety of angles, and with toes elevated (not heels elevated) to stretch my calf more
- going to do more lower stuff.. especially stuff where i'm stretching and performing movements
- didn't do rings because of the abdominal issues yesterday



Food

- 1 x whole milk



Food

1:30 PM

anthony's again:
- roast beef sandwich
- 12 chicken wings (drums)
- some french deserts



Food

5:00 PM

- 1 x gatorade



Session: Evening

7:30 PM
- felt real crappy at the start of this run.. ate alot earlier, so I was feeling it.. but run turned out good.

run:
- 8.62 mi in 1:00:15
- pace: 7:00 min/mi
- speed: 8.6 mph
- calories: 1,051
- strike: heel->toe
- shoes: nb 5000v2
- ran with ipod, listened to lectures

splits:
- mile 1,2: 6:36, 6:41
- mile 3,4,5: 7:04, 7:29, 7:11
- mile 6: 6:45
- mile 7,8: 7:17, 7:15
- mile ~9: 6:25

decent run. previous 8+'s were 8.3's (not 8.6) in 1:02:xx, 1:08:xx etc.. so 8.6 in 1:00:15 is a nice improvement.

eclipsed my endomondo.com stat of miles in an hour by ~0.6 mi

getting closer to running 9mph for an hour, but, not close to running it "relaxed".. i definitely have to work at this pace.



Food

8:30 PM

- 1 x whole milk



Food

9:00 PM

- 3 x banana
- 1 x greek yogurt



Food

- 1 x chocolate soy milk




i should be trying to sleep right now, eh!!! :(

glutes are very sore right now.. good sign I guess.

funny i've been running harder whilst giving less mental effort, since running with my ipod :F I've been listening to lectures.. I might download some trance-like music too and see how I feel running with that. When I was boxing, I had an ipod.. Did all of my jump rope/running with it. I'd zone out for HOURS. heh.. One thing that really helps is, I don't hear myself breathe. Hearing myself breathe actually wrecks me sometimes, mostly at the start of a run. It just gets in my head initially. Eventually it goes away..... but so far with these lectures, i'm so focused on trying to listen to what these people are saying, that I don't focus on my breathing, or form, at all.. just on pace and trying to listen to the audio.

This was a good, quick read.

ya. BMI is mostly useless for athletes but you still can conceptualize how someone is built "relatively" just given a height/weight & an idea of how lean they are.

FWIW I got 24.1 and 23.9 adjusted.

I got 18.3 & 18.6 adjusted (at 6'1, 155, ~11% body fat). ;f

I'll start logging videos i watch and books and articles I read. I know this will be boring for many but i'll tag my training posts with the appropriate titles so you can easily see and read them instead!


Watching this joe armstrong one atm

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKXe3HUG2l4" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKXe3HUG2l4</a>

Im getting back into Erlang. Saw a cool sounding job advertised and i'd like to apply .. but need to refresh my erlangs first.

nice! erlang is pretty dope.

love Joe Armstrong.. he's a legit beast. I also love this talk (and several others) by him. he gives it to you straight with that "old timer" yet still completely relevant perspective, ie, incredible experience.

the thesis he wrote is amazing: http://ftp.nsysu.edu.tw/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/erlang/armstrong_thesis_2003.pdf

What a great anti-ego lifter you are.

agreed

I don't care how many times I made a mistake.  If I were you, I'd probably go for 400x3 next workout and end up getting 400x1 and burn out my CNS and cuss myself out for being so stupid

for the most part, same here.. hehe!



"adrenalizing" (psyching up) too frequently has wrecked me plenty of times. We all learn the hard way :) .. or some people just can't deal with that and get on "the juice" or various stimulants.

it finally snowed here last night. 0 inches of accumulation. but hey, better than rain.

Yeah haha a few weekends ago we had a lot of rain and 1 night of snow and theres nothing like doing 25mph all of the way home.

I got all of my tickets ready for tonight and my house picked out in Texas, only 3.8 million   :D

my parents have some tickets too.. kind of exciting. ;f

Interesting. What calculator did you use for yours? I read an article somewhere on the BMIs of past body builders vs todays that was intriguing. I'll see if i can find it and link it.

odd, maybe they changed something.. or, you've got different links.

gukl's links which embed properly look like this: http s://www.instagram.com/p/_fJtxPgweL/?taken-by=liamdb94

just enjoyed looking at the BMI numbers of various athletes

http://www.runnersworld.com/run-the-numbers/bmis-of-champions-mens-edition

my bmi right now is 20.4 .. i could use a bit more lean mass though and a reduction in ~8-10 lb. of fat.

ya those are the ones. the tights do look pretty sweet - so expensive though + i think the calf only would offer more compression. i have some nike compression tights for but they offer next to 0 calf compression, they seem to instantly increase flxibility for oly lifting though - double up as insulation when its cold too.

nice. if you get the calve sleeves, curious to see how you feel in them when running/recovery. My calves have been much less sore lately, but, that coincides with more heel->toe strike, which is more natural for me. I've been utilizing it lately because i'm trying not to think about anything when i'm running.

2xu looks like some good quality stuff.

ps for what it's worth, i think the abdo pain is more likely the calisthenics stuff than banana related, can't really see how bananas would be causing pain the day after, particularly upper abdominal pain. -

ya I think so too. maxent was just trying to be helpful (I was kidding when I said he jinxed me), then this weird pain + all of the bananas, got in my head :f

seems alot better today.. but I also didn't eat any bananas yesterday. I'll probably eat some tonight so, we'll see tmw.

on a banana related note, http://thebananagirl.com/ LOL

lool. if I ever become "thebananaguy", feel free to punch me in the face.

Bio: Morning

sleep = 7 hr + 2 hour nap
wakeup = 6 AM
bw = 158 lb. (bloated)
morning resting heart rate = 43
soreness = calves slightly but after my evening run
aches =
injuries = toenails wrekt, upper abdominals - very weird though
bananas = 0
feel = tired



Food

6:30 AM

- 1 x orange juice
- 1 x greek yogurt



Food

8:30 AM

- egg omelette



Food

3 PM

- 1 x berry beet (some berry + beet blend, was actually pretty good)
- 1 x almond joy



Session: Evening

7:30 PM

run:
- 10.45 mi in 1:17:58
- pace: 7:28 min/mi
- speed: 8 mph
- strike: heel->toe entirely
- shoes: nb 5000v2
- relaxed ipod run, listened to two talks

- last time I ran 10+, I ran 10.66 in 1:25:18 .. so.. decent improvement on this run: 7:28 min/mi vs 7:59 min/mi, aka 8 mph vs 7.5 mph

splits:
- first mile my watch glitched, weird.. has me at 8 min/mi but, 5:35 mi/mi for "moving time".. so really, it was more like a 6:xx min/mi.. odd
- mile 1, 2: 6:xx, 6:23
- mile 3,4,5,6,7,8: 7:47, 7:59, 7:42, 7:55, 7:59, 7:41
- mile 9: 8:05
- mile 10: 7:58
- mile 11: ~6:49 (pushed it)

^^ definitely better splits than my last 10:xx .. dno what happened on mile 9.

abdominals didn't bother me.


Food

9 PM

- rice and beans + double grilled chicken
- 3/4th pint haagen dazs



shitty day with the weird abdominal pain.. kind of scary but, ithink it's just some weird low-grade strain from calisthenics + running yesterday.. figure I fatigued/stressed my abdominals hard during calisthenics, then wrecked them even more during my run. if it's banana related - uhhh would suck..

gn!

maxent jinxed me, wtf.

i've never had abdominal pain after eating bananas, or tons of bananas.. today however, pain in my upper abdomen, which could be related to bananas.. i mean it seems like my actual abdominals, but it's a very weird/somewhat sharp pain.

FML.

please don't kill yourself lol

lmao. ikr.

i'm starting to think it's strained portions of my abdominals from running 2x yesterday and doing intense calisthenics.

i really can't see how it could be from bananas.. i've eaten like 50,000 bananas.

heh.

hey man,

was wondering if you use any kind of calf compression while running/after? Looking at getting some dedicated running sleeves, 2xu ones look good? - been using some anti embolosim knee height stockings i stole from my sister after she had surgery, but they are falling apart pretty quick, however they do seem to have helped with calf soreness!

yo! nah I don't.. i've never run with any compression, other than somewhat tight high socks. I've worn compression stockings before for jumping/short sprints/lifting, they did feel good, but never ran distance in them.

I was thinking of getting compression pants, but they were pretty expensive.

nice that they seem to help with calf soreness.

you getting these?






damn these pants look TIGHT (literally):

my family's older dog, izzie, died this morning after getting progressively sicker and weaker over the last few weeks. she'd had tumor for a while and was mostly blind and deaf but up until a couple of weeks ago she was still spry, running to greet the door and wagging her butt as hard as she could to say hello. but then she pretty much stopped eating and that was that. my parents took her to the animal hospital this morning to have her put down peacefully.

she was 17.

rest in peace, izzie.

really sorry to hear LBSS :/

RIP
