147

injury areas tight today, but loosened up after intense pool stretch

dinner:
- epic smoothie, best one ive made thus far:
- 1.5 cups milk, almond butter, 2 x banana, flax seeds, coconut shavings, honey, and lots of cinnamon stick pieces (which I blended earlier to make "powder")
- soooo good.

PM: pool stretch
- intense
- focused mostly on int rot glute stretch
- loosened up alot after this

brutal

loosening up adductors considerably lately, mostly because of the ability to do it in the pool. right one still overly tight tho.

they are trying to make Loma vs Tank

can't believe all these noobs are picking Tank lmao. triablism FTL.

lol I didn't expect anything less then mayweather's representative to vote for tank,

ya exactly..

ironically, Loma would look like Floyd against Tank, IMHO. All that power doesn't mean a thing if it can't connect.

I think lomachenko would be too fast and would drill him with so many combos but I don't see lomachenko knocking him out. If loma traded with him then not looking good for loma.

yea for sure. just standing in there sloppy w/ Tank would be a bad idea.. maybe not so much in rounds 8+ though. By that time, Tank could be pretty beat down.

i can see Loma KO'n Tank.

5th Avenue Mile:

Jenny gets her 8th, CR too. (4:16.2  )

Willis gets his 6th.

incredible finishes for both races .. they came down to the last stride.

also incredible that these folks have won this mile that many times.



both of them in the shoes i just ordered ^^ hehe. both CR'd. could be fast (eeh) shoes.



Great North Run:

Mo Farah 59:07

got visa, leaving for london in ~15 minutes. our expected place to stay tonight fell through and i can't reach my gf now to confirm booking an airbnb so might have to leave for the airport without knowing my actual destination tomorrow, lol. heeeere we go.

i missed this, you're moving to London? when did this happen - belgium was the plan last i read (or is london just en-route?)

i'll be down there quite a bit over the next few months as my gf is currently living there, lets park run!

yes! adarq.org london park run meetup!

who else is here and wants to run?

can't wait for this park run/race meetup. that's going to be fun.

one day i'll run with you folks.. somehow.

ETA: it's funny, that's three adarq.org members whose gfs are drawing them to london.

hah. that's cool.

5th set.

INCREDIBLE MATCH.

box jumps were nice!

Was looking at some jump technique videos of how to SVJ and how to box jumps and they all seem to squat a lot deeper then I do and I think that might be the reason why I am not able to bring my knees higher in my sprint and therefore my hip extension at a deep range at an explosive capacity maybe weak because I am not properly jumping, will plan on practicing jumping at home where I squat down with proper depth in squat and hip extension.

not sure. two completely different movements. i like your style of box jump better in regards to sprinting/jumping. it's more on the reactive/explosive side of the equation imho. deep preloading is fine but i like the quicker/shorter bursts.

deep box jumping technique would probably link more to the initial portion of the drive phase, than top speed. sounds like you're talking about knee drive during top speed tho?

as for getting knees up during top speed, to me that's addressed more so through drills and specific mobility exercises - like hurdle mobility etc. even a few millimeters of ROM improvement at the same turnover etc would potentially yield some big results, so it's not like one needs to make drastic mobility improvements.

good stuff!
