that 3000m is good (5:37 min/mi pace). I basically run 1.6x hard.. then kind of just said F it after the debacle. I kinda jogged it out :/ 6:2X-6:3X pace for alot of that second half.. was just annoyed and didn't feel like digging insanely deep to try and catch back up. As soon as I turned around, I was 200m+ back, maybe even closer to 300m. Catching up would have been very rough, and I have races the next 3 weekends.

so even with a ~1.4 mi "jog", still ended up with 18:07 estimated 5k according to endomondo.

bleh.







damn.. 12 minute test & 3k are solid.. and those were partly "broken".

1km, 1 mile, and 1.5 mi (whatever that was), was solid. I was ~8:22 or so on the clock which was apparently at the turn around point (which I didn't know/realize), so that would be 8:2X @ 1.55.




edit: imported all of my stuff in to smash run.. i like this feature they have, where I can highlight a block of running & find out the distance/pace:



5:17 through 0.9
5:27 through 1.3
5:30 through 1.4
5:32 through 1.5

last 1.7 miles basically shutting it down, evenly paced jog.



6:07 last 1.7 miles

got "screwed" in another race. oh well. sucks.



Quote
just being real, going from 1st OA to 2nd OA without getting passed, is such a shit feeling. third time it's happened to me, 2nd time at this race. it sinks in during the announcements heh. i guess if you're really competitve, stuff like this feels worse. i've got no problems losing straight up. my eye sight sucks when i race. if youre in the lead by "alot", you can feel pretty lost out there. it's an interesting feeling. ffs tho, races need someone at a turn around, especially when it's a multi distance race (5k/5 miler in this case)... would be nice if race orgs didn't drop the ball with this stuff, it's pretty simple to get right.
.
the winner ran 17.45, and i was probably ~30s ahead.... fml. without the wreckage, probably would have been a 5k PR for me.
.
whatever. rare rant over.
.
oh ya, i got "beat" by a girl (#fau #ncaa).. she fast af. #goowls. #owlpride. #fmlx2. #runlikeagirl.

the woman who ended up getting 1st OA: (light blue). That's the race I went to.. think she got 2nd. She's no joke..

?taken-by=madlenk_

anyway at the end, I just congratulated her.. didn't mention that to her or anything. she probably had no idea.

I def agree that when connor does shit he's thinking it's all fun and games regardless of the consequence but he didn't realize who he was messing with especially his background.

but really stupid to see why khabib would let someone get under his skin to jump out and attack and khabib's men attacked connor is also stupid.

khabib won and this is where it should have ended.

100%

and i hear people saying stuff that Conor attacked Khabib's religion etc... doesn't justify it one bit. It's kinda insulting, as if it's expected that if you insult Islam, well this is what happens. That's an unfortunate result of what happened. Meanwhile, Khabib had pent up rage like almost anyone who felt they had been disrespected/insulted down to their "core": INCLUDING the bus incident. Would have been great if he would have thought some of that out before the fight, and made sure to prevent himself from snapping. I guess we saw "real hatred" though.. Conor might have just been selling a fight, but in the process, he made Khabib (and his team) truly hate him, and Khabib just snapped, which gave his team/friends the green light to snap.

awful stuff.

This should be all we're talking about:





unfortunate.

and again: fu*k Dana White.

damn that was nuts.

i really like khabib, but man that was so stupid. he really fucked up.

also, seeing conor getting attacked from all angles AFTER a fight, that is so awful.

man this is serious bad blood after that bus incident + all of the shit talk.. i think these guys would have tried to kill each other.

awful.



also: Conor ran into a monster.

Security actually did a great job containing everything. That easily could have escalated into a full scale riot if fans started attacking Khabib's entourage etc.

The guy in red that sucker punched Conor from behind is a dog!

i disagree with "great job"... LMFAO. Conor got attacked by 3 people. He could be dead right now.. if one of them had a weapon. :/

crazy shit.

and ya those guys who sucker punched Conor are pathetic.. man, he just got done w/ a fight.. that's crossing a serious line.

if that bus stunt didnt happen, i'd think conor should definitely press charges. that shit is crazy. attacking a fighter whose already been in a fight, 3 diff people.

dana talking about they should just shake hands after etc.. i mean sure but, this is the risk you take when you allow these things to turn into WWE style lead ups to the main event.

eventually he needs to take more responsibility for this.

when conor does crazy shit it's all laughs and excitement.. well, shit got real.

3 October 2018

Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : again quads, glutes, abductors, chest, lats , all 4/5
Injuries/aches : none

Went for a recovery/blood-flow run.
My intention was to finally hit the 10km milestone in a slow controlled pace, no matter how long it takes ( expecting to start at 7'/km and and at 7'30'' due to fatigue ).
First 5-6km were easy. Pace was just below 7'/km. Around 6,5km i felt too tired, the sore legs started hurting. I decided to quit at 7.5km.
But then, around 7km something changed, i 'zoned in' , it all became mechanical and effortless.
Got 10km in 1:09:17 with an average pace below 7' and the fastest km being the 10th ( 6'45'' ).

Lifetime distance & duration :personal-record:  :personal-record:  :personal-record:
:ibrunning: :ibrunning: :ibrunning: :ibrunning: :ibrunning:



meant to comment on this a few days ago:

great work! interesting how you basically decided to quit @ 7.5 km then somehow at 7 km everything clicked, especially with the fastest km being the final one. wonder if that becomes a lesson learned, ie if your brain will handle those moments differently next time. i mean you went out at a pace you can definitely handle, but your mind knows how long you'll be running, so it starts trying to make "deals" with you to cut it early etc. i laugh sometimes at that (when i'm running), no deal making hah .. (unless there's an issue)

pc!

the lower mileage + more speed work has me "looking" alot stronger. very noticeable - compared to high mileage.

kinda starting to look more "dunkish" again .. or at least way more so than when I was up near 100 miles a wk etc. legs (thighs) are nowhere near dunk physique but, definitely thickening up more since the start of this month.

feel much more powerful and overall better. must keep feeding my body what it wants, speed.

feel slightly less conditioned in a "long duration sense", but, that's a deceptive feeling.. running 7:XX for hours seems like better conditioning, but if it doesn't translate to 1 mile or 5k speed, then it's potentially useless. I personally judge my fitness around my mile time: the faster that is, the better condition i'm in. that's my engine. and that's improving again so, good stuff.

light day. pre-race day.

race strategy: hard as fu*k until the turn around point (1.55 miles). then see what's going on.

I won this 5k two years in a row.. it's actually the first 5k I ever won. i'd like to win it for a 3rd year, but you never know.

My team the Adelaide 36ers won the 1st and 3rd quarter but the Jazz blew it out in the 4th quarter. The final score wasn't reflective of the contest. The Jazz won by 30 points but at the start of the 4th quarter there was only 3 points in it!

hah.

you going to any of the games? can't imagine there will be too many more?
