I had an out of body experience once, in Zion National Park. I was walking into the bathroom at this campground to brush my teeth and all of a sudden I was about four or five feet over my own head, looking down at myself at a slight angle. Only lasted three or four seconds.

never thought you could have one just out of nowhere like that. that's freaky.

Scared-Shitless Aerobic/Anaerobic Capacity Training

This can be used to improve anaerobic or aerobic capacity by forcing an athlete to keep sprinting, or they fall to their death.

1. An athlete is dropped via helicopter onto the treadmill

2. The treadmill starts, athlete must maintain or increase speed according to the protocol

3. If athlete doesn't maintain speed as dictated by the treadmill, they will fly off the back and drop over 500 feet. There is nothing to hold on to.

4. If athlete maintains speed according to protocol, helicopter comes and picks the athlete up.


Special treadmill:

vmo/hamstrings/quads/glutes pretty sore from yesterday..


3/30/2010

ok, i just amazed myself

5.91 miles on gmap-pedometer.com in < 47 minutes

i didn't use my stop watch, but, i have a timestamp from when i left the computer to when i got back..

pretty insane, didn't even expect to run that good, considering how the run felt..

- 99% of the run was on ball of foot/mid foot.
- mile 4 my achilles/calf started dying
- mile 5 my shit was DEAD, so i had to turn up the speed hard in order to generate the stiffness upon impact to keep my heel up
- doing that ^^^, i think i just broke a mental barrier
- was running kenyan style most of the run, mile 2-6

my lungs etc felt fine, my quads/calfs/achilles were dying...

 

i might not be able to walk for a few days, calfs feel rocked.





found some old pic, felt like posting it, it's a cool pic imo:

You ever try to have an OOBE?

I've come close to the proper mental state, but then I lose it.
It's the craziest feeling ever when you stay mindful while you're entering your sub-conscious. You feel like your hands are lifting, one time I heard static, and then that kind of shit ends up distracting you, and you lose the vibe.
It's a very zen feeling.

nope.. I've never had any astral/lucid dream stuff either.. well once but I can't get to that point.. it's not like I try though.

never had OOBE.. i've had dreams where I wake up and i'm still dreaming though, so it's a mix of reality/dream, that's pretty freaky.

A few weeks ago, I had a dream.
I got onto a bus that had the accordion thing in the middle, but it folded up sideways instead of dragging the second half around. Then the bus went onto a rollercoaster, that went all over the city, I think I saw some pyramids and shit too, then on the way down to the stop, I got off, and some Sri Lankans(I don't know where they were from, but thats what popped into my head), so yeah, the Sri Lankans, they got assault rifles and start shooting people, so I take cover behind the trailer of a truck, and I'm thinkgin 'Fuck!, what am going to do, I don't got a gun?!?'. So being as smart as I am, I'm like 'I'll play dead!!, fuck yeah, that'll work', so I do that, and I'm playing dead, and a Sri Lankan comes up and pops a cap in the back of my head execution style, except I was already face down on the ground. But I'm still alive, so I'm thinking 'Yes!!, fuck you, I'm still here', then another dude comes by and shoots me in the back of the head again.
The end.

holy shit! hahahaha

nice

edit: i have died in my dreams but it's very rare.. i can only think of maybe 2 times or so that I can remember

what this means is, you are too pussy to go for it, becauise you think they will stab, IE reject you and you will die on the isnide... and even you get past a knife (catch it in the dream), she will keep coming with more, meaning u will never get over it, so you are also dperessed

interesting analysis dear sir.

i think it has more to do with a scene from repo man though.

didn't dream 3/26 and 3/27, i usually don't on the weekend because i get woken up early, so 4-5 hours sleep instead of 8.

3/28/2010:

dreamed I was at jay schroeder's facility and I was grilling him.

WTF?


3/29/2010:

Ok so, I'm in a house with this girl who apparently is my girlfriend, even though she's trying to stab me with these huge rambo knives, she's doing it in a flirtacious way. So, I wrestle her for one knife, toss it away, then she gets another knife under her shirt, and by the end she had like 90 knives. This happened for the whole dream, over and over.

WTF?

jog home ~1.5 miles:
- ok i guess it got interesting here, stopped trying to jog like a kenyan, went back to whitey style
- whitey style = keeping knees low, upping stride frequency, staying on mid-ball of foot
- i felt way less winded this way, foot didnt collapse as much, and i actually was going faster
- i wasnt dead at the end either, could have kept running

Yeah, this makes sense. Kenyans can run like Kenyans because they're Kenyans and that's how they've run their whole lives. Trying to change your technique on something like that, especially while trying to land forefoot/point your toes, is not necessarily better at all. The Science of Sport guys have an interesting thing to say about this: Basically, the conclusion they reached is that you should run in the way that feels most relaxed/natural and should absolutely not overthink your footfall because you end up with tense feet. Tense feet = bad news. If that means low knees, mid-ball footfall, short quick strides, and you get no pain from it, then roll with that. Your gait is going to change naturally depending on speed, footwear, whatever, but you shouldn't necessarily try to force a radical change.

nike zoom waffle racers


Seem tight. Might have to get a pair cause FiveFingers are kinda out for me at the moment. I'm accumulating so many shoes I feel like a girl. If you had told my 18-year-old self that when I was 23, I'd have six pairs of shoes and seriously be contemplating three or four replacement/new pairs, my 18-year-old self would have punched, um, myself.

Or something.

i have about 12 pairs of shoes.. 7 pair basketball, 2 running (nike zoom,nike zoom waffle), oly lifting shoes, 1 track spikes, nike free's.

haha

ya well, the higher knees/longer stride stuff I have been unable to adapt too, but midfoot/ball of foot I have been adapting too. I'm still getting tight in my calfs but, i'm not experiencing any crazy soreness that I normally would (5-7 day stuff).

I need to take advantage of my reactiveness, which I don't feel nearly as much when I'm heel striking, but I also need to get my vo2 back up, I can tell it's way lower.

vo2/lactic threshold = way down from ~3 years ago.. hehe

I'm wearing nike zoom waffle racers too, heel striking in those is pretty intense. I used to run in nike zoom's, they have a HUGE cushion of support under the heel.

some site on his training, don't know how accurate but worth linking: http://members.iinet.net.au/~peterg1/run/el_train.html

another article on his training: http://www.mariusbakken.com/training-corner/maroccan-training-el-guerrouj.html

article on him: http://www.library.cornell.edu/colldev/mideast/gurrj.htm



3:43 mile:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvCsj7eJKKA" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvCsj7eJKKA</a>



"It is work, not doping," el-Guerrouj said. "People who say that are not big athletes. I don't think they are training 11 months a year, or running in the dark with the headlights on. I train very hard, until I am sick. Sometimes I train like a foolish man who has no mind." -- Hicham


"When he presents himself at the start, the other athletes in their minds are running for second place," Ndayisenga said.


He said he had been amazed to see el-Guerrouj, a miler, training like a marathoner, running 13 to 15 miles in an hour and a half. El-Guerrouj also trains like a sprinter, running sometimes with a weighted jacket, dragging a tire, and he does bounding drills to increase the propulsion in his ankles. The mile has come to resemble the brutal pace of the 800 meters and el-Guerrouj better than anyone has perfected the grueling training for speed and endurance.


For this workout there are no pre-set conditions, he is not asked any specific pace. However, he is demanded that he runs at his maximum at that moment, this varies from day to day and has nothing to do with the season. So, this means that El Guerrouj can run one day between 3:00-3:10/km pace and sometimes at 2:50/km.
