Unfortunately the max speed of the treadmill at the gym is 23km/h.
I was going to gradually work up to 36km/h see how it feels but that's not possible anymore, will have to see if I can find another place to use just for treadmill or buy my own if financially possible.

You know, there's no speed limit on a track....

That's true, but there is a limit to my speed.

ya i'd never buy a treadmill. if some facility has one that goes way up in speed to occasionally use, cool. if not, real sprinting.

Buying one after looking is just financially impossible, they are purpose built and wouldn't be used that much and so I go around and look for any facilities but I doubt it so I guess it's back to my favorite track work, which is reverse of over-speed training is resistance training, sled work.

don't forget slight downhill sprint work, and wind-assisted sprint work .. two fundamental forms of overspeed. wind-aided is safer and feels great. use nature sometimes, feels normal. :highfive:

- run 7.57 km in 38:56

- stretch

right at good relaxed pace (5:08) but felt rusty. on the bright side, as i was getting home the guard from two houses down flagged me to stop and said that someone inside wanted to talk to me. curious, i waited. out came the brazilian deputy ambassador, who said he'd seen me running and wanted to tell me about a new track that's near our neighborhood. and that he'd be happy to run with me because it looks like i'm up for training. "really nice training," he said. and he gave me his card. funny.

that's cool hah.

It's mildy difficult to explain...but...here goes 😂🤷‍♂️

I never had an issue until I got hit by a drunk driver one night. I was sore but, having been in a, ahem, few wrecks before I figured it was normal. Well it wasn't. Something happened to my right side spinal erectors. It first happened a few months after the wreck. Warmup deadlift. It "popped". Like I can feel it and HEAR it in my head. And it's like I pull it? There's like a golf ball sized tight spot there. Severity just depends on my stupidity afterward and how bad the initial pop was. I've seen a PT and he said it acts like I "threw" my back out (ie slipped disc or something) but it's not centered spinally? It's definitely an erector issue and so far only that right side. The few times it's been worse than average acupuncture and dry needling has seriously relieved it which points towards a muscular issue? It's weird lol!

That said this one wasn't too bad. It's mildly tight today but no soreness or pain. I managed some light jumps and DB lunges and RDLs (light) last night and woke up with no discernable issues. The week off definitely helped tho. I felt "weak" but my legs felt so light. Very "quick" in warmups just lacking some oomph. I think this is what it feels like to be fully recovered CNS/muscular wise 😂

eeeek damn.

sounds like you can do alot with it tho, so that's a good sign, especially if you can jump high (and land) without tweaking it. so i like the idea below. just avoid flaring it up for a long time, strengthen in different ways.

That said Im going to skip heavy back/front squats and deadlifts for the month of December and hit some lunge variations and maybe some SL DB BSS or possibly RDL and see how I respond. Should keep me fresher and allow my body to fully recover from spinal stressors I put on it weekly. Worst case my max lifts go down some. Best case I become more balanced unilaterally and hopefully that shows in some speed and explosive movements

^^ good idea.

also, max lifts while "worrying" about an issue like that aren't really max anyway.

more hard speed.

feel better but legs dead (dead but powerful).

also, right hamstring/glute tie in has been slowly getting more achy since last week, when i started including more slow running volume. i started feeling it after/during those runs. just a little ache that's grown.

thurs/fri = complete rest. hopefully that makes a bunch of aches disappear.

meant to run last night but started to get a headache on the drive home and it became crippling. went to bed at 9:30 and slept for 10 hours instead. head still hurts a bit this morning. but not a migraine. weird.

sucks :/ seems to happen quite often lately.

i've had a headache/jaw ache since getting bit by a mosquito (or something) 2 days ago. it's kind of crazy. bit my on my cheekbone and there's all kinds of pain in there. hoping i don't have zika. :<

that was such an awful/great idea.

interesting about your dad. my dad is similar (probably alot less grip strength in comparison). he is a piano player, whose done lots of "yard work" his whole life (and martial arts/tennis). believe it or not his hands are very strong. his fingers are so much thicker than mine, it's crazy. hah. I think he closed my #1 gripper, first try. I couldn't even close the trainer without tons of work.

damn @ those photos. that looks painful eek!!! put that neosporin on it non-stop heh!

there's a benard langat on iaaf who is a 5k runner with a 14:30 PR set in 2017, but he was born in 2000. doubtful that he ran that at age 10!

hah ya. this guy is older, like 45+ now or something.

this is hime at 1:19

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0OEmNN31fQ" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0OEmNN31fQ</a>

so i'm just wondering if he misspelled his name on ig, or his name is actually benard. all of the results for that race have "Bernard" hah.

funny story.. I posted about this months ago. The guy who timed that race, and event director etc (the compulsive liar ive mentioned before), thought that was Bernard LAGAT (the kenyan-american legend). hahaha. I corrected him and it took him a while to admit it wasn't Lagat.

:D

Bernard Langat

And of course. Back went out tonight on set 2of 435 doubles. Weird. Warmups felt absolutely explosive. Top single of 475 FLEW up. First set went easy and the second FELT easy but I felt it pop and just dropped it. Fuck my life. No more lifting this week, will try again next Sunday if I recover well. May drop all squat and deadlift for a month and focus on explosive accessory work. Sounds fun in season.

Otherwise interesting night for all the wrong reasons lol

damn that's not good. how's the back doing? what u mean by "went out"? that's usually a bad thing.

hope it's nothing :/

Gym Workout - experimental
   treadmill sprint
      - 15km/h for 20 sec approx
      - 20km/h for 20 sec approx

Track Warm up
   A walk x 2 x 20m
   A skip x 2 x 20m
   A run x 2 x 20m
   Fast high knee runs x 10m

Had to get the bus as car was being used. But recently when I go to track I witness some weird shit. Last week a guy making doughnuts with his car which you can hear screeching from a far and this time A mid size dog was running around very active, he jumped over the railing, which is at both sides of the road and ran across the road and jumped over the other railing, then later on he was coming at the railing diagonally and i see a car coming, I'm thinking maybe the dog will not jump over but rather it was coming at an angle directed at the car jumps over the railing and lands right in front of the car, emergency brakes pulled and dogs head and neck hits the headlights and breaks it and then it runs off a few meters and jumps over the other railing and stops and looks back and then it continues running lol. the car driver was keeping an eye to see who the owner was to be held responsible for the damages lol. It was a good session. I enjoy the feeling of running with a sled and then running without a sled. with the treadmill run I want to start at around 36km/h and then try progress on wards. Good session.

pretty cool about the treadmill. ya it gets very loud at that speed.

sucks about the dog tho. hopefully it's ok. eek.
