after my light run this morning i did something I know i shouldn’t do: because it can retweak my issue or cause some slight damage -> but I did it anyway.
just leaning over touching the ground (with fingertips), stretching hamstring primarily, but just holding it for a few minutes, nice and relaxed.
areas in my right glute & sacral spine pulsate like a mfqr.
it’s felt great since. i’m curious to see how it feels during my light run tonight.
but that’s one of my mental problems - I get very annoyed when I can’t do something. For example, the fact that I can’t stay in that position without the risk of injuring this glute area, bugs the fu*k out of me. People advise against that stretch but i’ve done it my whole life, just feels like a normal movement. Prior to the injury, I could do this movement (+ holding that position for a while) without any problems. I’d do that stretch occasionally, almost like it’s an instinct. Lately i’ve been wanting to do it, but I prevent myself because of fear of re-tweak. I need whatever is jacked up in there to just let go and relax & stfu. Would be amazing. FWIW: feels pretty good right now. Maybe it’s at that stage where I can do it without re-tweak and it’ll help instead of hurt.

« on: May 31, 2019, 01:29:57 pm »i'm in belgium! new country for me. number 38, by century club rules (if you've been on the ground, it counts, even if just in transit -- by that standard i've been to qatar, senegal, and turkmenistan); number 35 by ordinary people rules (you've got to have driven or walked around outside a transit center).
spent the last several days in france, mostly in the small village where my gf's dad lives, a few hours east of paris, in champagne-ardenne. did two runs along the canal towpath next to the place we were staying:
monday
- run 8.52 km in 42:39
tuesday
- fartlek 8.8 km in 42:54
felt amazing, ran through the woods on an old track for a while, did a couple 500m stretches at 3:20-3:30 pace, some strides, some very light trotting. towpaths are the best.
plan is to catch up on a bit of work now while we digest breakfast and then go for a light run around the suburb where gf's aunt and uncle live outside brussels.
awesome

last night in heavy shoes: 0.38 mi @ 06:03 min/mi
tonight in light shoes (1/2 the weight): 0.39 mi @ 05:18 min/mi
funny. can't really do it once like that but it's obvious i can't run fast in heavy shoes. hehe.

« on: May 30, 2019, 11:51:37 pm »Oh a my gawd. Game 1 TOR
HUGE W BY TOR.
Insane.
Every time GSW made a run, TOR battled it and extended the lead.
Siakam played incredible. Wow at his shooting percentage (14-17?) and some of those shots he hit. On fire tonight.
That's a big W to start this series.
Sucks that Iggy got hurt.. didn't look too good :/
I don't think GSW should go with Cousins, he's way too slow right now. Was a liability out there. GSW was playing great with Looney against POR.. surprised Kerr did that to open up this series.
GAME 2 SUNDAY!!!

3k effort: 1k fast: 2:42, 1k float: 2:58, 1k fast: 2:48. 8:30 total
1k float @ 2:58 is so insane.
that 1k fast/1k float/1k fast workout translates to 4:33 min/mi. so fast.

Less than two months post-Boston and with only a few speed sessions I wasn't sure how today was going to go. I've been logging a lot of miles the last two weeks and my legs were tired coming in. To run 8:30 and actually feel pretty decent was a huge confidence boost heading into the Run for the Pies 5k next weekend. This is the fastest I've run on this workout ever by about 12 seconds and it was on the road with a 180 turn in the middle. Excited for a big summer ahead and to take things to the next level.

Last week, two of my former Nike teammates, the Olympian runners Alysia Montaño and Kara Goucher, heroically broke their nondisclosure agreements with the company to share their pregnancy stories in a New York Times investigation.

light runs with some mod stuff.
man it's so insane.. i can't run in heavy shoes for shit. I don't think i've ever run fast in heavy shoes. heavy shoes for me, are traditional running shoes.
tonight i felt like I was going 4:5X min/mi pace. I get home and check garmin connect: 6:01 avg pace. the 5:33 min/mi @ 0.30 mi i did earlier today was less effort and on tougher terrain (thick grass/divots/rocks etc), but in xc flats.
the good news is: i realized a 4:5X mile in heavy shoes should be one of my goals. if i can run 4:5X in heavy shoes, i'll be absolutely flying in spikes/light road flats. seriously.

@adarq -- what do you think of running form drills, like A-skips, B-skips, butt kicks, etc?
my advice might be a bit useless considering i don't do drills and i'm slow.
i don't really understand a/b skips tbh.
butt kicks/leg swings/hurdle mobility, yea that stuff is effective - from a mobility/flexibility/coordination perspective.
as far as more strict running form/mechanics drills go with considerable time spent on it during a session, not much of a fan. seems like a waste to me. it's fine as part of a warmup though. probably most effective when it's done as part of a warmup, to progressively wake those motor patterns up.
2cents!
