- fastest first mile of a 5k: 5:13.97
- weak PR but.. still a PR

wanted to hit the first mile under 5 but felt pretty crappy. boop. didnt check data yet, but think i went out faster than i should have (like 4.4x). humid af too eh.

got my best ever first mile in a 5k tho, so that's cool. by < 1s.

going to keep trying to get that first mile down in a 5k. just bugs me that my body holds me back (when the distance is longer). it's something i'm trying to override. 8|







that highlighted 'tick' is where i stopped running sub5 for that effort.

Great job!

That <4:40 mile is well within reach!

thanks alot man!! ya for sure. i'm getting there. feels good def not easy but, if I stay focused and keep up this kind of training, I should be able to get it before 2018 is finished. I'd be very happy about that.

these mile races in December are crazy fast. It'll be easy to get sucked in to 4:2X/4:3X pace early. I have to be ready for it. need to practice some 1k-ish efforts with survival 600's. lots of tough efforts on the schedule, lol!

def need to get my 1k sub 4:30 pace !@$@$

more horsepower. need it.

peace man!

- run 9.10 km in 45:23 [tempo 1 km @ 3:27 PR]

- SMR

- stretch

after i started running decided to drop the hammer at the 4 km mark. hit 3:27 per mapmyrun. never tested 1000m before but i was shooting for 3:30 and hit it so go me. en route hit 800 in ~2:47. walked 100m and then gradully picked it back up to normal pace.

there we go. hammer dropped. that's a solid K. moar hammer drops (when you are feeling good)

K's are a great distance to build aerobic strength with speed. same with the mile. K's definitely let you crank harder tho.

 

ya i haven't been following college bball much in recent years either.. but, with Zion, I will. He definitely seems like a generational talent. I mean his physicality/strength is SHAQ level, but he's more of a small forward, with guard-like handles.

So, just like LEBRON seems like a mix of MJ (jordan) and MJ (magic) to me, Zion seems like a mix of Barkley and SHAQ with some extra guard qualities. This kid is so strong it's unbelievable.

he seriously looks like he is in the NFL:



i'm curious to see how he fills out.. LMAO.



also, i'm so glad Grayson isn't on Duke with Zion.

soon!
