New WR from Kamworor! 58:01!

was hoping not to get spoiled....... but first search on YT, spoiled.

INSANE.

dude almost went under 58, that is incredible.

Being that he's one of Eliud's top training partners, it makes this even more significant. Eliud is going to go under 2.

can't wait to watch the full race.

man I knew i should have stayed up for it :<

He claimed in an interview that he wanted to break the WR. Knew this was a possibility. But 58:15 or whatever it was before, that's some serious stuff.. And here he drops 58:01.

~4:25 min/mi /// 2:45 min/km

the clip that spoiled me:

that is so alien.

mega lawn mow: > 3 hours. very fun tho. 144 before, 141 after (including drinking a gallon jug of water).. damn that's some serious water loss.

gallon of water = ~8 lb so: 141 lb - 8 lb = 133 lb. /// -11 lb water loss. forgive me if my math is janked up. bout to sleep.

bw: 144

dinner
- stir fry, big shock: red & green bell pepper + jalapeno + 2 x red chili pepper, basmati rice, lots of salt
- very spicy. was great.

03:00 PM - 06:45 PM: lawn mow (fasted)
- took a break after doing the back yard and guzzled down nearly a gallon of water. lmao. was really hurting: hot af & tons of effort for ~2 hours.
- made the mistake of putting my push-reel mower down from 3" cut to 1" cut.
- 1" just makes it way too hard.
- so after gutting through it for the back yard, i finally moved it to 2" for the front yard. could barely cut anything in the front, until I adjusted it to 2". then it was fine. still tough but normal.

pool stretch
- deepest ever split stretch
- was very wide
- pretty incredible
- right adductor/hip/sacrum much more tight than left - which ironically is the injured side

stretching throughout the day
- very intense, mostly targeting the injured areas: glute/hamtrings/hips/sacrum/low back
- finished with ~15 minute hamstring stretches in the evening
- the most interesting one today was the final long duration hamstring stretches: standing, straight leg propped up on kitchen cabinet, hold for ~15 minutes, making small adjustments
- it pulled some old injured spots in my medial hamstring insertions, which used to flare up occasionally when running -> small tear back in ~2009.
- anyway, after feeling that "pull", lots of relief in injured areas
- injured areas (glute/hip/sacrum) seem to also be tied to my adductor/hamstrings, known this for a while now. that's why i've been stretching my adductors so hard recently

if i didn't "pull" my medial hamsstrings, i plan to run tmw morning. did an insane amount of stretching today, usually that means running will be affected.

pc!

posted this video in run vids, but probably should have posted it here.

so good.

got my NB Fuel Cell 5280's in........... man they feel weird.. but not nearly as weird & awful as the Vapor Fly 4%'s, so this is a great sign.

they also feel very fast.. keep you on your mid/forefoot and have a pretty hard sole, but are still fairly light.

they seem to force you into pronation more though, it's a bit weird.. i imagine it'll feel a little different when you're running at higher speeds tho.

the laces are kinda odd, and super thin. shoes fit like a glove tho.

plan to break them in sunday! might steel a segment around here for fun.. dno.

oh also: they have glitter on them. teh fuq? they look cool tho.
