Nice work!
I'm sure you'll go sub 13 next time. The results should show the headwind as well.

calf is really hurting from yesterday's run.. sucks.. was a super-shit run too, got stung by something, eyes burning, calf felt wrecked, etc. :F

going to just walk for a week or so.

Do you think your calf hurts from being heavier now or just from it being a while since you last ran?

pouring rain and thundering all around right now, got soaked walking home from work until i could find a taxi that didn't already have some other poor wet bastard in it. shit's only gotten more intense since i walked in the door. i'll give it a few more minutes to chill out and then just suck it up and take my chances in the driving rain.

left my rain coat in baltimore this past weekend.

There's nothing worse than when it's pouring with rain and thunderstorms when you want to go out running or play basketball.

The guy at 0:34 was going for a block.
That 5'7 guy is a crazy player though.

PR Nation!

Damn your heads at the backboard. Nice vert!

The Russians defined a 1RM as your best in competition, the absolute best you could achieve on the platform, with all the stress of being in front of a crowd. By some accounts, ‘meet nerves’ could add a spectacular 10% to a lifter’s numbers.

The Bulgarians used a different definition, calling for the best you can do right now, casually. No getting excited, no adrenaline rush, no elevated heart rate. No sitting in the corner listening to heavy metal for 15 minutes before hitting the lift. You just go do it, calm as you can. If you can’t hit it without getting nervous, it’s over your max for the day by definition.

I guess the advantage of the Bulgarian system is that you can make quick gains in a short amount of time. Yet long term it will lead to burnout.  Remember when the Bulgarian weightlifters were at their peak in the ’70s and ’80s, they often retired early, most likely due to injury. In contrast, the Russian lifters tended to have much longer careers. Another thing to take into account was that these lifters were juiced to the grills and their whole life was literally eat, sleep and train.

That said my advice would be to pick a program you believe in, bust your ass and stick with it for better or worse (hypocritical I know).

The 60m will get faster once you do them more. It seems like you've got decent acceleration you've just got to build up your top speed/speed endurance.
