Bernard Lagat, 2:17 marathon debut, but he ran wrecked at the end. quads/calves toast.

I love how genuinely positive this dude is.

NY marathon lived up to the expectations on the men's side.. wow @ that finish by Desisa, incredible. That's what it looks like when someone wants it more than everyone else.

Keitany made a statement, happy for her.

bad ideas hurt, but they are fun.

plan was to jog for 2 miles then crack a hard third mile, train wreck. the 2 miles prior were at 7.xx, so not a jog. typically my warmup 2 miles before a hard mile is at 9.xx pace. so then the third mile came, wreckage, 5.40 hah.

crazy humid today, was rough.

now going to watch the NY marathon, while i eat this breakfast 🤓🇺🇸🇰🇪🏃👽

07:00 PM: workout: light long: 15 mi @ {8 road} + {6 grass} + {1 road}

might start doing more of my light long run stuff on road surface, feel too good on grass, feel like i'm neglecting roads a bit too much lately.





highlighted the grass miles.

NYC Marathon tmw!

KAMWOROR.

Sura Kitata is a legit threat though… Should be interesting. I got Kamworor again, he always rises to the occasion.

more sub4 training

https://us.humankinetics.com/blogs/excerpt/training-regimens-from-racing-greats

Early in 1954, Bannister was running each quarter in about 61 seconds, a pace that left him very disappointed. He knew that he would have to figure out some way to get a little faster if he wanted to break through the coveted 4-minute-mile barrier. Frustrated by his inability to improve, Bannister took a complete 3-day respite from running. When he returned to the track after this furlough, he found that he was suddenly able to run the same 10 quarters in 59 seconds each. Thus, the two cornerstones of Bannister's training had been put in place: (1) 400-meter interval training at close to race speed and (2) periodic total rests to produce freshness, improve speed, and permit the body to adapt and recover. These two principles, race-specific training and enhancement of recovery, remain relevant today.

07:45 AM: warmup + race: Steps for SOS 5k: 2nd OA @ 17:58 official / 17.49 watch, started out way too fast by accident

- started out way too fast, 4:5X/5:0X pace -> was honestly trying to go out conservatively (5:3X)

once i realized i started out too fast, had to dial it back, everything slowed down.

last year I did this race at like 18:52. hehe.
