- soreness = lunge fallout
aches/injuries = right pinky toenail barely, left groin barely, top of right foot barely (stretching it last night helped, i think)

08:00 AM: food: GU, water

had to pull those insoles out afterwards so I could run properly (for the bridges etc). The construction of the insoles stitched insoles is so weak in these shoes, kinda ridiculous. Afterwards while i'm eating breakfast, some guy is like, "those look nice, do you recommend them?", I go "well this is my first run in them and the stitches insoles ripped out", and he lol'd and showed me his phone, he was about to purchase them. So, a lesson to Brooks: need better insole construction!

Hit some decent paces on the bridge uphill segments, 6:XX's after mile 17 so, nice.

Planned on hitting 4 mi @ 6:4X after the 10 but was toast. Abort.









I need to start transitioning into work mode....... have tons of stuff to do today.. fml! :D

- 06:30 AM

morning light-to-mod progression walk: 16:XX to 13:XX ::: calisthenics afterwards (dips/pullups/lunges/calf raises) ::: breaking in heavy distance shoes
probably going to try doing my long run in these Brooks Hyperion's tomorrow... scary considering they are 3oz heavier than what I normally run in, but they are still crazy light for a distance shoe (~6 oz). I need to break them hard & get them down to ~5.x oz. :D

S1: 3sec paused dead hang ng pullups: BW x 11
- felt my left groin alot on this first set of pullups. that long, completely stretched out dead hang seems to have overstressed it.. hopefully it's nothing. :raging:
S1: full dips: BW x 14
S1: standing single leg abductions (partial at the top - harder): x 20
S1: neutral calf raises, back extended/hips locked: BW x 30
S1: 5sec paused forward walking lunges: BW x 10 each leg

S2: 3sec paused dead hang chinups: BW x 11
S2: full dips - split stance: BW x 14
S2: standing single leg abductions (partial at the top - harder): x 20
S2: wide calf raises, back extended/hips locked: BW x 30
S2: 5sec paused forward walking lunges: BW x 10 each leg

S3: 3sec paused dead hang wide pullups: BW x 9
S3: full dips: BW x 11 (dead)
S3: standing single leg abductions (partial at the top - harder): x 20
S3: close calf raises, back extended/hips locked: BW x 30
S3: 5sec paused forward walking lunges: BW x 10 each leg

fairly strong, a little tired.

bumped up my paused lunges to 5sec, felt it nice in glutes/quads.

she should start a journal on here, i'm tryna see how much work that is. what's her training schedule look like?

The two worlds must not collide haha

ya i've thought about following her on strava but didn't kinda because of that.. haaha.

she's definitely honorary adarq.org status.

Quote
Just asked her though and it was 11-16 hours per week of training which includes an hour of a body balance class, 1 x strength training session and a game of netball.

All other training is HR based training and there's usually 3 run/ride/swim each per week with an additional run off the bike on Sat. Sun was the long run day and Monday was a complete rest day. It's a program she paid for from Training Peaks. Lots of zone 2 & 3 training with multiple efforts thrown in with a few rides in Z2 with Z4 efforts. She said the training wasn't that hard. It was just getting the consistency of doing it and sticking to the plan. She just said it was fun. Probably completed 90-95% of all sessions that were programmed.

She plans to get some more strength sessions in and try to add some muscle over the next couple of months which will no doubt help her in each discipline.

Hapkido class last night. 90 minutes of pure sweat which was cool but copped a knee right on my left VMO which is currently killing me. Massive corky. I was planning to take the weekend easy anyway so it probably won't hurt me too much. My wife is doing a 70.3 on Sunday so we're getting geared up to go away for that. Can't wait. Now that I'm more interested in triathlon it'll be a lot more interesting than the last one where I was there purely to see her run past every 1-2 hours.

bad ass.

She is. She finished in 5:39 which is 8 mins faster than last year and on a harder course too.

1.9k swim- 37 mins
90k ride- 2:57
21k run- 1:57
Transitions- 7 mins

Pretty stoked for her. Lots of training went into this and she's getting better so it's a great boost to know she's on the right track.

- run x
abort! abort! left hamstring tightness. read the exchange between joe and adarq about joe's tightness issue and decided to bail after less than half a kilometer. will stretch gently but otherwise time to invoke AERS.

 :(

:(

but :highfive: @ AERS.

and ya, if tightness is getting worse during a run, never a good sign from my experience. The biggest problem that poses is: changes up your form, causes other muscles to compensate/do more work, ends up resulting in more issues. The best example I have for that is, if calves are injured, hamstrings will do more work -> causing hamstrings & other crap to get wrecked. If hamstrings are wrecked, calves will do more work, causing calves to get wrecked. I've experienced both of those. Makes sense too from a knee flexor perspective: one set of knee flexors becomes hurt, another set does more work, this new pattern isn't used to that and all kinds of problems can end up surfacing from this chain reaction.

If stuff feels weird, I personally say go for a light walk instead (<= 60min), hit up some non-exacerbating strength work, or just rest.

It seems that avoiding running through "impaired gait" is extremely important.. that's just what i've come to realize through trial & error.

pc!

22-02-18

Workout

Run -- 4.6mi in 38:54 [8:34, 8:12, 8:21, 8:31, 8:42 pace]

Notes

Tailwind out, headwind back on this one. Knee/calf thing seems fine. Noticed it very mildly towards end of run, but no clicking, pain or sensation when walking up stairs/bending knee, so I'm hopeful. Shall see what's what tmrw.

Average pace sub 8:30 and avg HR sub 150, that's a nice and new combo.

good news all around!! nice.

From something I posted in ChrisM's journal:

i think when i'm done with my running phase it'd be fun to go for chrism-lite. gain 15-16 pounds, get strong, lean out, jump around.

gain 15-16 lb and still run :D

I met this guy recently @ the half, who i've known on IG. he's enormous, runs marathons/halfs etc. He's pretty big, even bigger/more diesel in person.





He's trying to run a race every weekend for 52 weeks, and at least 1 half or full a month.. and he's huge. LMAO.

Damn, he's gained a TON of weight since his first IG post.. and he runs alot. He runs nice and slow/relaxed *I think*, just out there enjoying it. A little different from how we get speed obsessed.

Sorry, quick hijack. :trollface: :ninja:

 :ibsquatting: :ibsquatting: :ibsquatting: :ibrunning:



dude is huge. lmao.
