« on: August 13, 2010, 03:55:11 pm »8/12/2010I don't know why you go so intense when you're having so many aches, :/.
bw = 160
soreness = hamstrings, quads tight
aches/injuries = left shin/calf a bit achy/tight, right hamstring tendon a bit achy
workout:
- ~400's @ near max intensity, 5 x
- ~800 x 1
- ~400 @ near max intensity, 1 x
- .75 mile run, 1 x
done.. felt so fast in my 400's, good stuff.. felt my quads too much though, from the squatting last night, they had too much tension.. otherwise, felt very good tonight.
might jump tomorrow, dno.. basically planning on jumping + speed work
peace
trying to adapt it.. but you're right.. it's my left calf/shin that is problematic, i stretched it a few days ago and it's been worse since. hehe
peace
You're an intense sum' bitch haha. I would love to have your willingness to go run 400's like that man. If I did, then I wouldn't be so soft in the mid-section. You're conditioning is sweet.
hahah man it isn't easy.. before each one i have to chew myself out.. "come on what are you a little bitch, go get this shit", etc.
i need to get to the point where mentally i could run ~10 of them maximally, as well as physiologically (recovery from all that lactic acid).. that'd be so badass.
the cool thing is, i don't feel my legs shrinking from running 400's, in fact they feel thick and strong.. lots of long distance work turns my legs into sticks.. 200's-400's are pretty potent for strength gain.. feels like a 20 rep squat set

ya man but it isn't ez for me either.. one day it will be, that will be the day i am flying out there, 200, 400, mile, 5k etc.. my mind is still weak at the moment when it comes to conditioning, but it's progressing every workout.
peace!
