'Heel to butt' is good for distance running? Curious as to why, I would assume it'd just drain your energy unnecessarily. Quads would get some nice stretching though

sure, when the distance is still short to middle. That recovery leg action helps drive the opposite leg down/hip extension etc. quads/hip flexors need to have some decent flexibility though so that there's less 'resistance' in flexing the recovery leg. hamstrings don't have to work as hard either. You can hold sprint mechanics for a 5k for example.

bw = 184
soreness = calfs slightly
aches/injuries = none


quick log


session:
- Jump rope: ~20 minutes straight, surprisingly no messup until about 20 minutes when i stopped jump roping.
- first time jump roping in a long time, felt good.. also got me very warmed up for my run training

- 3.4 mi FORM/TECHNIQUE RUNNING
- midfoot, working on 'cycling legs', 'pulling the ground', 'heel to butt' during recovery leg


man I was drenched.. "technique running" takes nearly double or more of the time it normally takes me to run 3.4 mi.. for example, if it took me 25 minutes normally, it takes me 40+ with technique running. It's because i'm not putting any power into my 'strides'. It's grueling.. but seems necessary.

It'll pay off eventually.. need to keep trying to transform my running style into one that is built for speed.. anything else is just a waste of time (for my goals).

it's fun.. but crazy tough.

calfs feel a little better when form running.. I think it's because of the focus on properly cycling. If I were to put lots of power behind it and let my form break down into something else, i think that might be where my calfs get destroyed.

left calf is very sore/tight right now, fml. :D

pC!

Hey man

So i'm thinking about incorporating a few short runs into my training. But no idea how to go about it. I'm thinking maybe stay 3 miles or under/30mins so it doesn't interfere with my strength/power goals too much? Do you think this would be beneficial just for overall fitness? say if i ran 2 miles twice a week in under 20 mins, thats cool right?

ya that's fine. <= 30min running @ 3-5x/week shouldn't have any detrimental effect on your strength/power goals. It really depends on your pace though. If in that 30 minutes you're going 'max effort' (pushing lactic threshold), then it'll definitely be taxing. That's where you get max adaptations, which may be detrimental, especially from a recovery standpoint. It's fine to push it once in a while though.. If you're staying relaxed & under threshold, then it's pretty much on level with a warmup. You'll  get improvements in general fitness without tapping into your recovery/cns fatigue.

Give it a go. Are you thinking about doing those runs prior to your lifting sessions? I prefer short sprints / reactive work pre-lifting. But, you can always throw in a nice 15-20min run then follow it with some short sprints etc, should have you feeling really good when you start lifting.

so, no 5k. calfs are still somewhat dead. man i wrecked them.

a few shitty runs recently, but, i focused on some form.

02/25/2015: 3.4 mi run
02/27/2015: 7.1 mi run

brought out the old buddy lee speed rope.. going to start incorporating that for warmups, cooldowns, and to work on my calfs. probably going to use it tonight.

speaking of the NFL combine, this dude broke the broad jump record and tied the vertical record. 44.5". that is two-handed-windmill-from-a-standstill territory.

yesterday

02/21/2015

bw = 182
soreness = calfs (left especially)
aches/injuries = left calf, body fighting off getting sick

session: 4.1 mi run
- midfoot, horrible run
- decent form running tho


ffffuuuuckkkk left calf is wrecked.. it's always this calf. I imagine mostly because i tore my calf way back. I think running with such a sore calf hurt my heel a bit.

lame. resting today.

Boxing / Re: gennady vs murray
« on: February 22, 2015, 05:49:05 pm »
It was an ok fight, golovkin is very good and very cautious when fighting murray, his uppercuts they don't look powerful unless they connect, sometimes i don't understand the purpose of the weak uppercuts maybe to distract him or open him up.
murray has a solid defence, i was taking this like a prediction of a pacquiao vs mayweather and pacquiao wins from the ko's lol

the ko's from golovkin looked nasty, but the punch to the temple didn't look powerful but suprised how it caused it to ko him.

an ok fight, reminds me of a honey badger vs a snake bulked up so has no speed.

ya still too easy for golovkin.. he's just too good to fight sub-elite fighters. He likes to throw light punches to confuse his opponent, he does it in every fight. Lots of light punches then he slips in a big one.. Sometimes he'll go minutes throwing light shots, opponent doesn't know when the power is coming.

As always he's devastating to the body. Those body shots destroyed Murray.

GGG 19 straight ko's, insanity. His fight frequency is incredible too, old school style fighter.
