you hear that?

it's the call of the ultra.

hah no way. I need speed.

From the looks of it, i'm definitely topping off at 5k. Eventually i'll compete in some 5k's, have fun.. while still working on my hops/speed/power etc. Can't really do that with ultra's/marathons etc. I just like being able to go really hard in training, for < 45-60min.

I imagine I will always fall back to improving vert, 60m, 400m, 1600m, 5k.. big runs are fun but not at the detriment of power.

Also I just love running in vibram's. "Feels" amazing. I just need to avoid getting hurt while stepping up my vibram game. I run so much better in those shoes. When I consciously think about my mechanics/form/consistency/etc while i'm running, vibram running > *.

I hear people have problems 'running fast' in them, but I find it's the opposite. It's really hard for me to go slow in those shoes. Perhaps as I get into 'top form' it'll become harder to run at higher speeds, but, so far, i'm consistently much faster when I run in vibram's. FWIW, I walk faster in them too. It's hard finding race results of people who compete in them, doesn't seem like many folks are doing that. Perhaps people train in them and then race in normal shoes. I could definitely see myself running my 5k in them, if everything goes as planned.

It's pretty obvious i'm in to minimalist footware, given the fact that I dunked in NZWR's.. I'd never dunk in vibram's.. But I guess when it comes to running, I enjoy something even more minimal than XC flats etc.

I dno, I guess i'm full vibram bandwaggon at this point. (watch them hurt me and I end up running in basketball shoes, lulz)

Had this before, many times.. It always goes away, not so worried about it. It shuts down my jumping though. Can't jump for shit when I feel this in my shin/calf.

- barely tried, but wanted to get some jumping in. no rim touches.

Jog & Sprint: 0.5 mi
- decent

Evening Session: jog & sprint, bodyweight strength

shoes: xc900v2

Jog & Sprint: 4 mi
- very fast
- (submax) sprints were 30-80 strides. Felt very good, nice and light/bouncy.
- Havn't sprinted that distance during my jog & sprint's until tonight. So, very happy with how i handled it..
- really feeling the physiological (vo2max/lactic threshold) improvements.


Bodyweight Strength:
- pushups: 20
- neutral grip pullups: 4
- sl semi-shrimp squat: 12


evening sessions definitely feel better than morning, in regards to running.

MY TOES R FUKT! Two blood bubbles forming! hehehe!! This probably wouldn't happen if I ran in my vibram's, as my toes would be separate... but then running would be much more intense.
