The powerlifter got robbed!!!!!
He finished the reps 2 seconds earlier but he had to go around the rack, his spotter was in front of him. The calisthenics guy had his spotter behind him so he went under the rack and reached the bell earlier.
Awesome video, incredible that they ended up finishing together.

ya also some of the pullups could have been called no-reps for calisthenicsGuy. That would have changed everything. PL'rs judges were more strict.

I still think he wins at the end though, if you only look at that. Part of winning in that event is being able to do a ~10 ft sprint at the end to the bell  Powerlifter was wrecked. He should have attempted to tackle calisthenicsGuy. That would have been gr8.

^Exactly. The aerobic vs anaerobic vs weightlifting analysis is correct. However, adarqui is not training his aerobic capacity, he is training his distance running, because he wants to get better at.... distance running. 

ya. and I need that distance to get better at shorter runs ;f

gukl, i think he is tempted to do much more than 5k, he got to almost 20 the other day. I think his personality fits better to ultramarathons!

ya I definitely am tempted at increasing distance & total time running (not to ultra level though :f). Before I give in to that though, I need to increase the amount of miles I can run in an hour etc. I'd rather keep trying to get 9 miles in an hour, then 10 miles in an hour etc. Once I can get that, I can then decide whether I want to try and hold that pace for even longer.

I need to be able to hold 10mph in my <= 1 hour runs. That is definitely a goal of mine.

Oh well, maybe we should let the man talk for himself, hahaha 

lool.

Who saw this game? Low scoring but amazing game.

One of the most brutal collapses i've ever seen. Unbelievable train wreck of emotions.

NFL PLAYOFF DRAMA = 

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.

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).



01/08/2016



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.
