- run 7.01 km in 33:12
felt fast, full of energy. evenings still easier than mornings. hit 5.00 km in 23:12, which is just 0:12 behind my december goal for a 5k...in the middle of a longer run. good.

- stretch
calves a little tight

solid!

that's how i see most experienced do their tempo too.. 1 run, with 2-3+ mile warmup, tempo in the middle, 2-3+ mile cool down.

i am still running 3-5 miles, so pretty far from 2-3 mile warm up and cool down! once i get fitter i guess i can do my current workouts with a more serious workout in the middle.  :ibrunning: :ibrunning: :ibrunning:

w/r/t "trying to run slower": like you i'm still very much at the beginning of running training. the best thing for me is, at least 80% of the time, to not think about pace at all. settle into a comfortable cadence, whatever that means that day, and go with it. i don't try to run at any particular speed. if my experience is any indication, you'll speed up over time without meaning to. i started out in august/september at 5:12/km for 4 km as a natural pace on the roads and last night ran 4:34 for 5 km. that's a nearly 40-second improvement, with little noticeable difference in workout-to-workout effort,* in three months.

so my recommendation is just not to fuss about pace at all while you're running. it'll take care of itself.

*i did kick a bit at the end of the run last night, when it was clear that i could get under 23:00 if i wanted to. but i wasn't gassed, still very much a training run.

went to lahore this weekend with gf. was fun but also stressful for a couple of reasons. the old city is batshit, doubt many or any of you have experienced driving like that. street barely wide enough for a small car, motorcycles and pedestrians passing on both sides in both directions. hiring a driver next time, it's worth it. anyway i needed to move when we got back. slightly lightheaded now.

struggle bus. didn't really eat dinner last night (salad and 1.5 cinnamon rolls, which i made and which took so long i forgot about dinner, lol) and drank more than i should have (but won $50 playing poker so...worth it!). these were junk miles, but not enough that i'm worried about it. still happy to have done more than nothing.

haha yea.. seems like that is the case now esp. since the rise of the warriors. but kobe and MJ dominated with the mid range, right?

sure, although kobe is overrated so not sure he's the best case to point to. but the midrange is just inefficient. it's math: gains you no more points than a shot closer to the rim, at a significantly lower likelihood of going in. threes are worth 50% more so the lower percentage of success is easily justified.

mid-range shots suck at all levels of basketball, compared to post shots/layups and threes.

that is what the GMB guys advocate as well, as a progression from learning individual skills. they refer to sequences like that as katas, i guess from martial arts: stringing a bunch of skills together in a row and working to make them as smooth and strong as possible.

those are random-looking distances. how did you settle on 1.67 as a target? or 0.71?
