2013 tamarac turkey trot was insane.. wtf? Didn't know about it back then, but look at that stuff, 6 guys @ sub 5 pace.

https://www.athlinks.com/event/36985/results/Event/250497/Course/353010/Results

I don't even get it tbh.. 5 out of 6 of those names in the top 6, I don't recognize. weird!! awesome though.

found a clip online, this is ~300m into the race maybe.





Leading the pack  :headbang:

Hah yup. Lead for like 0.8.. had 3 people try to overrtake me and lead, including a former olympian lol, but did what i planned on amd surged out in front of them back into the front. Then system failure.

I love this surge style, it's pretty fun.

Stomach is alot better this morning, but I still feel like shit. Yesterday was very scary.

Are you guys chasing that banana guy or is that banana guy the pace maker  :P

Just some dude that sprinted out lol.



Laptop battery died and I don't have my charger, lame. At least I hope that's what happened to my laptop. It just went black out if nowhere, no low battery warnings, hope it's not wrecked.


Also my stomach is insanely wrecked. Feels dead inside, and it s crazy bloated.. kinda nuts.... :/

Tamarac Turkey Trot 5k: stomach cramp life, wrecked. official = 19:17 I think? watch = 19:08, other than stomach - body/legs felt GREAT

was cramping up during light warmup strides, never a good sign. sucks. For the next race on Saturday, i'm going to try a new nutritional strategy: very light eating the day before, and only coffee the morning of.. Need to figure this shit out.

Last 5k race, where I got 17:51 watch, I felt my stomach acting up before the race, but didn't cramp. So I lucked out there. BUT, having that same bubbly feeling in my stomach two races in a row, seems i'm doing something to aggravate it.

all good. don't give a fuck. need to figure out how to make my stomach feel very flat, with nothing in it, yet still strong. Going to try to achieve that on Saturday, which is another fast 5k.


edit: for reference, 1k split was ~5:18 pace. Solid 1k.





edit: never posted my data!!

At 27 I should be at the peak of my athletic abilities but poor lifestyle choices along with relatively poor strength levels have avoided me from doing so (as well as not training for sprinting at all apart from a couple of months in 2013 where I ran a 11.37 before tearing my hamstring). My motivation is that a lot of 100m sprinters run PRs in their early-mid 30's.

My old coach was convinced that, in a vacuum, all sprinters would hit their PR between 30-32 after 10-15 years of training. There probably isn't a significant loss of fast twitch capabilities until much older. The trouble is that most sprinters quit between age 21-25 due to lack of opportunities/enjoyment, or have bad injuries and lose blocks of training. So yeah, plenty of time left for you mate. If you can master the technique of surreptitiously nursing a beer at a pub, you'll be golden.

Yup and I think the key here is, "their PR in their prime sprinting years", ie having the proper guidance from a very young age, dedicating their life to sprinting etc. So, if we remove the idea of a "prime" with many years of dedicated sprint training preceding, and instead just think about peaking ones abilities at any point thereafter, we shouldn't sell ourselves short. So someone like Mutumbo could hit a lifetime PR several years down the road, because he probably never TRULY peaked his abilities early on in life, etc. I see lots of people, especially IRL, who look back on their h.s. or college performances and use that as their limit. When in reality, many of them never really trained to peak that ability, not properly at least. Realizing some of these things can be very important. Setting limits can be a bad thing, because most people's limits are way off: that's why i'm on this "peak your athletic abilities" jargon. Don't set limits, just dial in all components which make you a better athlete, and slowly chip away at it.. ie, the sculpture approach. We are these big blocks of granite, some more formed than others due to a variety of factors, but the process is the same - chip away the excess until you're left with the nearly finished product, and then just keep trying to perfect that or polish it :D

peace!!

16:00 is elite. there's no way on god's green earth that 16:00 is the 90th percentile for all ages, let alone masters.

just checked actually and 16:00 would have placed 12th at the 2015 world masters athletics outdoor championships in the M35 category (i.e. 35-39 year-olds). that's pretty good.

I thought that was the case. The only reason I asked was because my perception got skewed from a huge outlier- Kim Collins.

The All American standard for the 100m in 40-44 year old class is 11.5. Kim Collins ran a 9.93 at the age of 41 :o

I'd be All American standard for the 55m, 60m, 100m & 200m for the 35-39 class...if I was 12 years older :trolldance:

lol ^^ just maintain that 100m you got... good motivation to do so :D

those sprint times are mind blowing to me.. I can't imagine achieving those times as I continue aging, but I can imagine hitting the middle distance times.. again might be naive, but it's just interesting how that works: like I would LOVE to be able to run as fast as Kim Collins at 40+, or any age, but that's more of a DREAM than something based in reality. Contrast that to seeing Kevin Castille run sub 15 5k's and sub 30 10k's at 45, and I can envision it like it's a true reality. So there's dream goals, which you can still work towards obviously, but then there's also goals that, though they seem so "lofty", seem entirely possible. It's just interesting when you can really feel you can achieve something, versus feeling it somewhat but maybe wanting it more than you can feel it.. just some rambling but, the psychology of this stuff is important. :ninja:

peace!!

Yeah those times are crazy but also inspiring at the same time. What the mind can believe the body can achieve. I know it sounds like I'm dreaming but personally I believe if I improved my lifestyle and got my shit together along with increasing my strength (squats) I would be able to go sub 7 for 60m and sub 11 seconds for 100m. The sad thing is my 100m PR is 11.25 and I did that in high school!!! At 27 I should be at the peak of my athletic abilities but poor lifestyle choices along with relatively poor strength levels have avoided me from doing so (as well as not training for sprinting at all apart from a couple of months in 2013 where I ran a 11.37 before tearing my hamstring). My motivation is that a lot of 100m sprinters run PRs in their early-mid 30's. I know I play rugby league and my focus is on rugby but once I get my strength levels up to scratch (and my bodyfat in check) it's definitely at the back of my mind to run a couple of track meets and see what I can do.

man, I have no doubt you can do it, if you just stay focused and address all the small details, and obviously stay healthy. Just DO NOT RUSH it. Think LONGGGG TERRMMMM. That'll help you not rush and train through injury/pain that you shouldn't etc. Health is #1.. but you've got the kind of times, build, speed, whatever it is, that puts you very near those numbers you want, if you dial NEARLY EVERYTHING in, over time.

also, don't worry as much about the times as simply "reaching your peak". To me that's a very important mental change i've made. I just want to peak my athletic abilities, and the times & race wins will follow. This, just like dunking, is going to be a long process. Looking more at 2020 than I am 2017, 2018, or 2019 etc.

my 2 cents!!

go get it man.

ok i'm off to sleep!

Not sure how i've never seen this until yesterday, but i've watched it maybe 30 times?

This clip itself, is beast.

Marshawn Lynch man.. combat poetry.



btw for those who are unfamiliar, quick vid on some of his best runs:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqO7hmC01gw" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqO7hmC01gw</a>

Beastly!!!

It's ironic that you posted this because I saw this guy on the news yesterday due to that fkn idiot Donald Trump talking about him:
"Marshawn Lynch of the NFL's Oakland Raiders stands for the Mexican Anthem and sits down to boos for our National Anthem. Great disrespect! Next time NFL should suspend him for remainder of season. Attendance and ratings way down."

He runs a 4.46 40 yard as well (we need a sprinting emoji to go along with the bench one  :P)

i could just speed up the running emoji.............  :trollface:

ya man Lynch is rugged af.. Imagine that kind of power coming at you, I can't. hah. American or Aussie style football is not something i'd survive in :D

Not even paying attention to the Trump nonsense, it disgusts me.

but ya man, that clip from him is competition poetry. i mistyped, not combat poetry, that's too specific.. it's alot more general than that.
