probably the nicest running shoes i've ever worn.

I wouldn't wear these to sprint/jump though, probably because of the 5mm drop & it would probably tear them up. The structure of the shoe is VERY thin. But for running, man they are insanely light yet supportive/springy/strong. Feel really good on my feet. Also tighten up (via laces) very well. The grip is very solid.. Sidewalks were wet which usually has me feeling a bit slippy on some spots, didn't feel any of that (but was still cautious). Felt great on sidewalk (concrete), asphalt, or grass.

Also because of the 5mm drop, going heel->toe feels "faster" than my 0 drop XC flats. I get a really fast "roll", but that's typical of any running shoe. Still felt fine going midfoot in them.

Overall, so far seems like an extremely good shoe.

pc!

i'm WRECKED. well at least it's friday.. sat/sun = REST.

my glutes are VERY sore from my calisthenics session. I was activating them like crazy trying to hit some positions and they've been sore all day (as well as quads & abs).

Bio: Morning

sleep = 7.5 hr
wakeup = 9:00 AM
bw = 155 lb.
morning resting heart rate = didn't measure
soreness = none
aches = none
injuries = toenails wrekt.
feel = dead



Session: Afternoon

12 - 1:30 PM
- probably too long, but was having fun

calisthenics:
- progress yet again
- made progress on L-sit, front-lever, muscle up, and planche
- also did lots of stuff i've never done before; seems to happen as I get stronger.. my brain gives me more ideas.



Food

2 PM

- 1 x fairlife whole milk



Food

3 PM
- too late for this meal

- 1 x orange juice
- 6 eggs scrambled with gorgonzola, some of it in the form of an egg sandwich on a thomas english muffin
- 1 x greek yogurt
- 4 x banana



Food

5 PM

- 1 x gatorade



Session: Evening

dead.
- glutes/quads and energy, toast

run:
- 6.66 mi in 51:38
- shoes: nb 5000v2's
- strike: heel->toe or midfoot
- calories: ~813

really crappy run.. nb 5000v2's felt AMAZING though.

here's how bad the splits were:
- mile 1: 6:32
- mile 2: 6:52
- mile 3: 7:03
- mile 4: 7:40
- mile 5: 8:40
- mile 6: 8:56
- mile 7: ~8:54
- basically every mile got worse.. wanted to quit (turn home) at ~3.5 mi but just gutted it out.

so, basically combination of overall lack of kcal, accumulated wreckage from the previous days, and glutes/quads/core (glutes especially) getting wrecked from calisthenics.

didn't lift after, wanted to just collapse.





Food

- 1 x fairlife whole milk
- lentil soup
- brie and crackers
- a few brookside chocolates



Food

- bowl of cottage cheese (2%) with some optional honey for some spoonfuls



ok so sat/sun rest.. but.. not going to refeed as much as the last few weeks. Also going to get in some walking Sat & Sun, with possibly some toying around with my gymnastics rings (when they arrive tmw).

next week going to cut the distance quite a bit & shorten the sessions.

one arm hand stand videos, progressions etc.

jesus h. christ. stuff like that is what i always think with the calisthenics people: oh, that's neat. every single olympic or even national-level gymnast can do all that stuff in their sleep.

ya true but those calisthenic people, for the most part, are what we can more likely attempt to emulate. Olympic level gymnasts are too ridiculous :F
