yeah it's thunderstorm season. i'm extra annoyed because i meant to start 45 minutes earlier but i was waiting for a guy to drop something off at my house and he just never showed.

Disagree completely. What happened tonight is what happens when you move the ball and cut off ball. You get great looks for role players and they find a rhythm. When you spend most of the game watching Bron go iso and kick off a drive you can go cold. Especially as a shooter/role player. Tonight they were hitting the same shots they missed at Indy simply because they were more engaged. It showed on D as well. Additionally look at the time Bron spent on the bench? Those "scrubs" made a run.

Nailed it. Id hate to be a role player for lebron. Yea you get crazy open shots but not in rhythm.  Btw carmello doesnt get this excuse, he had a high number of touches and still sucked. Catch and shoot is easy when you're in rhythm and warm (neurally) with regular touches (just rotating the ball etc) but if you get the ball very rarely and you're instantly expected to just nail a jumpshot cold, you dont really have the same rhythm/confidence and its a lot of pressure and you can miss the same shots you'd have made easily

fair enough.

disagree that lebron doesn't make his teammates better anymore. he's surrounded by scrubs who are winning playoff games over rosters that are more talented top to bottom because he drags them up.

yes, he's petty and ridiculous on social media, and he's a bad shadow GM. but on the court he's the GOAT and part of being the GOAT is willing mediocre rosters to success, which he did in his early years in cleveland and is doing again now. without lebron there is no question that cleveland is a bottom-dwelling lottery team.

yeah my approach for the race on may 13 will be to go out with the leaders and hold on as long as i can. the winning time last year was 19:04, fifth place was 20:34.

winning time last year for the wimbledon race was 18:56, fifth place 20:26.

come on joe, let's see if we can go 1-2.

Eric Finan in his HM race comments:

Quote
I feel that 8 miles at HM race pace effort about 10-14 days out is a pretty good indicator of what you should be able to do on race day

i wonder if the equivalent rule of thumb works for shorter races. like is 3km at 5k race pace effort a good indicator 10-14 days out from a 5k? maybe i should find out in a couple of days.

FP said it, but that goes extra for dieting, which is hard even done carefully and well. and i mean, you literally said "unhealthy." it's not that there's never a place for a rapid cut, but 2 pounds a week for 20 straight weeks seems unrealistic. and because it's unrealistic, once you get off track you'll beat yourself up and go off the wagon altogether.

might be better to start with a more modest, more immediate goal.

ETA: bodyrecomposition.com is a great place to look for free resources and books, e.g. https://store.bodyrecomposition.com/product/rapid-fat-loss-handbook/

fast pace, lots of change of direction, lots of time in a semi-squat position, lots of explosive movement. the equivalent for me in terms of effort is indoor ultimate, which is exhausting.

med men, right? say hi to my friend russell if he's there. he was on the team last year. we used to play mixed together a few years back.

2382
what's your whole home setup now? seems like you're putting together a good bunch of gear.

sunday felt slightly off all day, turns out it was a migraine halo. took some sumatriptan in time to head off the worst of it but still, running was nnnnnot happening. felt crappy again yesterday and just decided to rest.

- run 10.09 km in 50:55
pacing all over the place but averaging 5:03 is okay.

- push ups x 16

- KB upright row x 16

- stretch

cavs' offense brought to mind the famous "clogged-toilet" offense of the randy wittman-era wizards, except lebron is an order of magnitude more transcendent a player/plunger than john wall.

i did not have a dog in the fight between cavs and pacers but it'll be nice to get to watch lebron keep playing. he's the GOAT.

ah right, forgotten you'd already gone sub-5.

have already said this in my journal but once i'm through with the races on my trip i think i'm going to spend more time doing hard lactate threshold and speed stuff. keep the easy days easy but make the hard days harder. i'm pretty weak mentally by my own estimation and part of that is just not, as you say, ingraining the feeling of being uncomfortable and pushing the pace for extended periods.
