USA/FRA was great.

so was USA/ENG.

women's world cup is awesome. such high level play.

02-07-19

Ankle nearly fully better, recovery been good. Unfortunately have had this horrible tension headache for like 3 days that's made exertion very hard, so had to bail when I tried to lift. Hopefully back on track tmrw for some upper work.

good news!

rest day.

did some deep tissue into my glute area while walking around slowly. got into that injury spot HARD. felt better afterwards. felt decent throughout the day. so today, it was just that one spot deep in there that i could feel.

no stretching again today. giving tissues a break. might do a light run tmw. or might rest more.

ate very light the last few days. hence the 151.

seeing my abs a bit again. they disappeared completely at 160+ lol.



07/02/2019:
- morning bw: 151
- both achilles achy/legs achy/beatup - long walks are intense (like i always say)

- milk + some chocolate almonds afterwords while watching women's worldcup

if kawhi goes to lakers...... fu*k. LEBRON, AD, KAWHI.. all-caps level player names. lmao.

i mean the nba will be lopsided yet again.

i never fault a player for going to a stacked team, i mean who wouldn't want to win ez & make huge $$.

it's frustrating and exciting.



next 3 years of NBA finals:

LA vs PHI/MIL next year.

BKN vs LA 2 years from now.

LA vs BKN 3 years from now.

 




LEBRON is the best "recruiter" in NBA history. No debate.

LA v BKN is the kind of match up I dream of watching in the NBA. I hope everyone stays/gets healthy for this.

hah. sounds like it would be incredible.

juggernaut vs juggernaut.

Lakers juggernaut (with "the HUGE 3") is just mind blowing tho.

injury areas loosened up alot on the walk. some other stuff achy after (achilles/calves/feet), but basically to be expected - long walks are tough. legs/lungs/cardiovascular-sys feel pretty gr8 tho.



07/01/2019:
- morning bw: 153


10:00 AM: bw
- weak
- 3sec paused dead hang ng pullups: BW x 6
- full dips: BW x 6



08:40 PM: light walk: 2h24m w/ {1 hour hills power walk} ::: (grass/dirt/rocks, dark)
- https://www.strava.com/activities/2496754038
- up/down hill mile walks @ sub-20. last week's walks were a few minutes slower, with more acid production in the legs.





that uphill walking gets tough. already in much better shape on the hills than 2 weeks ago. hill adaptations come so quickly.

no stretching or anything tonight. might even skip tmw's stretch & walk again as well. just giving the tissues a break.

pc!

adarq, looks like your boy jakob ingebrigtsen ran a 3:51.30, PB but got nipped by his brother for a podium spot by two hundredths of a second. he's still a teenager. gotta imagine he's got WR potential.

great race. cheruiyot took care of business and wasn't really threatened at the end but everything behind him was dramatic.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfgXAs5oDuI" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfgXAs5oDuI</a>

ya i know. he's a monster. 3:51 @ 18 y/o. that 3:43 WR is absolutely psycho, not sure i'd think about him in that territory yet. but man he races with balls. that's why the sky's the limit for this kid. not only does he have talent/work ethic, but he hangs up there with the Kenyans etc.. he almost chased down Cheruiyot 2 races ago.

Cheruiyot is the best over the last few years. He's a front runner & always brings it. Really love watching him race.

His "teammate" (manangoi) is having a really bad year so far, it's weird.

As for the WR, the biggest threat to it right now is Yomif IMHO, but he's so hit-or-miss. When he's on tho, man is he lethal. He ran that 3:46 indoor mile recently (indoor WR). He wants to run 5k/10k for Ethiopia in the Olympics I think. But there's some real monsters at 5k/10k right now (barega, rhonex, cheptegei). I mean he might not even make the Ethiopian squad, that country is so stacked. There's probably 3-4 Ethiopians better than him in both 5k & 10k. I think he'd actually have a better chance at 1500m if he really focused on it. I doubt there's anyone in his country who could compete with him at 1500m. It looks like he makes himself "stale" with some of these 5k's he races.

There's lots of incredible young dudes out there right now. Jakob, Rhonex, and Barega for example.

Barega dropped a 12:43 5k @ 18..

Rhonex dropped a 26:45 road 10k @ 18..

Jakob dropped a 3:51 mile @ 18..

The distance running future is BRIGHT AS FU*K. Exciting.



 

tons of crazy shit going on.

hills!

injury areas a bit "tight" after the run. felt fine during. legs feeling great it's nuts.



06/30/2019:
- morning bw: 153
- some light stretching throughout the day



11:15 AM: light: 52 min w/ {17 x "long" hills, ~3400m uphill} ::: (rocks, felt great) /// cut session short due to gnats - was ridiculous
- https://www.strava.com/activities/2492800669/overview
- https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/3799027110
- session cut short due to gnats.. everywhere. got in my eyes, mouth/throat, nose, all of my shirt/arms etc. finally had to stop near an hour. was brutal.
- was going to be one of my best hill sessions ever, felt great. planned on getting 10 miles of non-stop up/down hills (~200m hill).
- really decent splits too for a relaxed hill repeat session







11:15 PM: leg drain
- 45 minutes
- simultaneously a good stretch for hamstrings, especially an injured area on my right one - loosens it up / hits it



12:15 AM: stretch
- TODO: ~1 hour or so
