Hmm.. Just ordered this. Whether it was jumping, running, boxing, lifting, or octet warfare -> I often end up focusing on mental components. This seems like my kind of book
"""
A suitably versatile definition that I like, borrowing from researcher Samuele Marcora, is that endurance is “the struggle to continue against a mounting desire to stop.” That’s actually Marcora’s description of “effort” rather than endurance, but it captures both the physical and mental aspects of endurance. What’s crucial is the need to override what your instincts are telling you to do (slow down, back off, give up) and the sense of elapsed time. Taking a punch without flinching requires self-control, but endurance implies something more sustained: holding your finger in the flame long enough to feel the heat; filling the unforgiving minute with 60 seconds’ worth of distance run.
"""
Also, regardless of whether or not you are a Malcolm Gladwell fan, he wrote the Foreword, and he's also surprisingly fast: 4:54 mile @ 51 years old in 2014.🏃♂️/tangent.

« on: February 07, 2018, 11:13:03 am »OMG What a game, my first and best super bowl I have witnessed.
That interception changed the game towards the end when ball fumbled out of tom brady.
I didn't understand why the runner touchdown was questionable he ran and did touch down and the other time when the guy ran through the zone and they said ball was out of control and his leg was out so confusing I saw he had ball in hand and was in the end zone.
but omg what a game I was nervous when they were making the decision and the patriots know how to take advantage of time especially towards the end and that final throw could have caused it to over time but saw it was time up and so happy.
memorable moment nick foles played the same game as brady and did touch down.
just awesome
amazing game.
Ajayi is from the UK too
http://miami.cbslocal.com/2018/02/04/jay-ajayi-from-north-london-to-super-bowl-lii/
Ye I saw that when they showed his stats and he was from as well as when they interviewed him. Great guy. From hackney, but media from outside the UK would say from london, east london, doesn't really say specifically which town.
I would like to try american football.
nah.. don't. heh. dangerous as fu*k. :/
tag football is fun tho.. still kind of injury risky for the knees/ankles but, 100000x safer than tackle.
my 2 cents
True. I will prob do it towards the end of my career jk
So athletics, basketball/boxing then nfl.
end of career NFL sounds like an even worse idea..........
i'd rather box than do nfl. nfl is no joke. brain/spinal/knee death. :/ so brutal.

nice workout, felt good today. For this half coming up on 02/18, I might be in better shape than I think. I plan to go out at 6:1X pace soo.. should def be able to hold that for 10k at the very least. whenever that starts fading, then back to grind time. that's the plan for now.
kinda cool, overall workout pace was: 9.35mi @ 1:03:24 / 6:47/mi
^^ I dropped off when she dropped out .. it's just so much easier to run with someone. I felt great, but once she dropped, I felt less great.. If she had stayed in it, i'd have kept up my paces for at least 4 reps out of the 5 (didn't do a 5th) i'm pretty sure of it.. which is nice to know. I was moving very easy/relaxed today.
Also, a 10k PR when doing half marathon intervals .. lmao. funny. My 10k is probably like 38:XX right now (previous PR is like 42min? today's PR is 41min?). We'll find out soon that's for sure. Plan to go out at 6:05+ in this half marathon.
workout: bw
- felt very strong, which is great because on the car ride home from track, could barely lift my right shoulder.. was worried it could be injured. just overuse with the soreness/fatigue etc.
S1: dead hang ng pullups: BW x 10
S1: full dips: BW x 10
S1: forward walking lunges: BW x 5 each
S1: calf raises (neutral): BW x 40
S2: dead hang chinups: BW x 9
S2: full dips: BW x 9
S2: forward walking lunges: BW x 10 each
S2: calf raises (wide): BW x 40
S3: dead hang wide grip pullups: BW x 7
S3: full dips, split stance for glutes: BW x 10
S3: forward walking lunges: BW x 10 each
S3: calf raises (close): BW x 40
nice.
runlikeagirl update: I did this workout with Andrea, it's prep for both of our half marathons. I thought I would be the one quitting/dying but, she dropped out instead, somewhere at the end of the 2nd rep. She just seemed like she was having a bad day. Plus it was incredibly hot/humid but, we both actually seem to enjoy it, but it could have been a factor who knows.
Also before the session, I told her we should go "kenyan style" (one in front/one in back) and she agreed, but when the workout started she stayed along side. So I was in an outer lane, it let me hit some faster paces early on. BUT, it's not good to do that. Instead, we should have gone kenyan style, because then whoever is in front (we could alternate each rep), would make sure to stay on pace .. this way the person behind can relax/stop looking at their watch etc. She was checking her watch ALOT and i think it was contributing to the fatigue.
some story she made on IG:
she's going again to Track Thursday .. going to go for her first sub12 2 miler, which I think she's definitely good for.
