when i run in the morning i don't usually eat first, so i'm considering just doing that for the race. or may just have a banana or a granola bar or something, and coffee.

I also usually run fasted and have had good results with either oatmeal+coffee or banana+coffee a few hours before racing.

noted, thanks.

thanks, that is good advice. at a party last night i talked for a while with a swedish diplomat here who's a 16:xx 5k runner. i've mentioned him before as the only guy who passes me at the cricket ground track. he also just went to hawaii to be a guide for a blind guy running a marathon, which is rad. anyway he offered to run with me this week and pace me at 3:50. definitely gonna do that at least once. tentative plan for the week:

sunday: run 8 km easy
monday: rest
tuesday: run 8-10 km easy with some tempo intervals (with christian the swede)
wednesday: run 6 km easy
thursday: fly home
friday: run 6 km easy with some tempo intervals
saturday: rest
sunday: race

when i run in the morning i don't usually eat first, so i'm considering just doing that for the race. or may just have a banana or a granola bar or something, and coffee.

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.
