Steps For SOS 5k Race: 2nd overall @ 18:53 official / 18:37 watch. Real "race" for 2 miles, light rain, no watch for 2 miles
- https://www.strava.com/activities/1260739791
- http://accuchiptiming.com/images/Age_Group_Results-Steps_for_SOS.htm
- 18:53 official, not 18:48 like I said above .. didn't know my actual time, thought I saw 18:48 as I crossed the line, no prob don't care much about time. :D
- 5k in 18:37 according to my watch.

Fun stuff, felt great. 2 days of light/soft running, plus proper nutrition, had me feeling so light/bouncy/relaxed today, loved it.

It was a real race for 2 miles: matching the leader's surges, going ahead of him at certain points, etc. I was right off of his back right shoulder or side by side for most of it, let him set the pace mostly, but I don't "draft" behind someone in that situation, just feels kind of weird to do that when it's only a few people (in this case 2) in the lead. I shut it down at mile 2, didn't have a great 3rd mile in me anyway so just shut it down and relaxed more. Even if I didn't shut it down, he would have beat me in that third mile. I think he finished @ like 18:10 or so. We spoke after, he was a cool dude, also looked to be in ridiculous shape.

This 5k event was really fun too. Got lots of good photos/footage. They did a great job.

I'm suffering way less in 5k's than I did last year, where I suffered to hell in many of them. But I had "more guts" last year, and pushed really hard even when dead. I'm not doing that this year because I want to stay more fresh mentally/physically. It seems like my speed has been extending out recently, this was a solid 2 miles.

some stats/graphs:







cool. that third mile when i shut it down, i apparently did so by producing less power, because stride frequency was still decent - though it dipped down a little as well. Nice!!



1 hour light on tarmac (~8:XX, ~7 miles), 1 hour very light on grass (10:XX-13:XX, ~5 miles), no watch, relaxing
- https://www.strava.com/activities/1261547293

enjoyable session, felt great. lots of forefoot striking without forcing it at all.. stride felt really good, was breathing light too. stomach scared me a few times but it never freaked out.

sunday = rest .. and watching the NY marathon!!

those jumps you did looked really good, and those shoes looked great to jump in, adarq approved from what I see.. :ninja:

your jumping should sky rocket when you start jumping more, and potentially reduce some of this fatigue by lowering the volume drastically and potentially just getting in some more non-MAX efforts, more frequently. Not sure how you are planning to transition, but you could easily handle more squat days after doing a routine like that, as long as you drop the volume & still do "heavy" sessions but, more of a focus on non-aggressive/non-amp'd up ones, so you're in the "training max territory" and not the "true max territory".

afternoon

- walk/clamber around 500-year-old fort x 2 hours

evening

- run 5.05km in 26:05
verrry easy. air quality is very bad at the moment. right hamstring fine, left hamstring oddly a little tight for a kilometer or so in the middle but nbd, went away.

- stretch

those photos you posted on IG are nuts, incredible.. also is that Stephanie close to the edge? I don't think I could do that :strong:... lmfao.

This guy is unbelievably strong. His torso to leg ratio looks a bit lower than others, meaning it is physically harder for him to get all that weight up. Hope he become world champion one day!

ya he's a monster, especially for an American .. that isn't a popular sport in the US, or at least it wasn't.. Crossfit has really helped to change that I think. So as much hate Crossfit gets, they've done a ton of good by opening up so many gyms and getting people to perform some oly's. That alone has probably accelerated the US's chances at finding more athletes who can compete on the world stage.

Also it's just crazy to hear CJ talk, I was just mindblown to realize he was only 16. It's unreal. Just feels like he should be so much older now, but that's what happens when you break onto the scene at _11_ wtf.

awesome event, got a bunch of great photos/footage.

2nd overall, 18:48 official / 18:37 watch.

also, that stuff I posted yesterday, is a testament to journaling. Basically recreated that exact feeling/performance that I did a week ago, by doing basically the exact same 3 days of training, and eating very similar the day before. I felt so good today, just like I did a week ago.

journaling racks up another win..

so ya to any1 reading this who doesn't journal, or doesn't "journal enough" (to their liking), step it up .. it may not be the most fancy system given current technologies, but it's time tested and I always learn so much from going back through my entries, it really is impressive.

logging diet briefly, stretching, drains, workouts, naps etc .. Turned out to be extremely important for this recent "experiment". Who knows, maybe I would have felt great regardless, had I done things way different, but I personally feel re-creating this environment really seemed to help.



more images & recap in next post.

just came on to post this before i head out.. LeBron read this thread.

that's one thing about LEBRON though.. he's one of those guys who can really use negativity/everyone coming at him, and turn it into fire/fuel.

There's a reason I had my speed day planned on Tuesday, not Wednesday .. definitely feel wrecked, that won't help the 5k i'm doing tomorrow. I imagine i'll feel way better tomorrow though, 2 days of being wrecked is somewhat normal. Usually by the third day I feel great.

I'm going to try and emulate last week's great 1.4 mi run performance. Very similar schedule:

10/23/2017: Monday, morning = moderate speed, evening = hard speed
- http://www.adarq.org/progress-journals-experimental-routines/adarq's-journal/msg136368/#msg136368

10/24/2017: Tuesday, light recovery #1
- http://www.adarq.org/progress-journals-experimental-routines/adarq's-journal/msg136397/#msg136397
- basically what I did yesterday, but went too hard in the morning.

10/25/2017: Wednesday, light recovery #2
- http://www.adarq.org/progress-journals-experimental-routines/adarq's-journal/msg136427/#msg136427
- some good stretching, fajitas, 2 light runs, mid-day power nap

10/26/2017: Thursday, fast/felt great, maybe my best (most consistently fast) 1.4 mile effort + another solid mile
- http://www.adarq.org/progress-journals-experimental-routines/adarq's-journal/msg136468/#msg136468



going to go get some fajitas.. :D

still dead.

11/03/2017

bw = 140
bw before bed last night = 142
soreness = hamstrings slightly, quads moderately, shoulders moderately, calves slightly
aches/injuries = left hamstring tendon slightly, right back of knee slightly, left heel slightly
cramping = very slight at the end of my morning run
morning quad flexibility = tight
morning hamstring flexibility = tight
morning calf flexibility = tight
feel = good but barely sick

wakeup = 06:00 AM

log: 11/03/2017: recovery
06:00 AM: wakeup
06:00 AM: food: 2 x grape fruit, coconut water
07:00 AM: workout: very light run, legs dead/sore, CNS dead, no watch: 3.5 mi @ ~8:5X min/mi
08:30 AM: some light quad/upper stretches
08:30 AM: food: coconut skyr (34g protein? nice)
11:15 AM: food: tijuana taxi: chips + salsa, steak fajitas with an extra order of chicken, water w/ lemon
01:00 PM: quad stretches while waiting for my chicken and waiting in line, at whole foods
01:15 PM: food: whole foods: smoothie with protein
02:00 PM: nap: 2 hour nap
05:00 PM: food: water w/ lemon
06:00 PM: soleus during dishes
07:15 PM: workout: very light run, legs improving, CNS improving, no watch: 5 miles @ 8:5X-9:2X
09:00 PM: food: 2% milk, coconut water w/ pulp, water w/ lemon, toasted sourdough avocado toast, another avocado (so 2 total)
10:00 PM: food: two rolaids
- forgot to edit this in there.. had a bit of "spicy" indigestion before bed, from the lunch

stretch:
08:30 AM: some light quad/upper stretches
01:00 PM: quad stretches while waiting for my chicken and waiting in line, at whole foods
06:00 PM: soleus during dishes

icing:
self massage:
leg drain:

naps:
02:00 PM: 2 hours


workout: very light run, legs dead/sore, CNS dead, no watch: 3.5 mi @ ~8:5X min/mi

There's a reason I had Wednesday's session scheduled for Tuesday. Pushing it ahead one day was too close to this 5k I have Saturday. It's not a "historically fast one" it seems, so just going to relax more and not floor it, as long as someone crazy fast doesn't show up. I imagine i'll feel alot better tomorrow though, not worried about it. 8|


workout: very light run, legs improving, CNS improving, no watch: 5 miles @ 8:5X-9:2X

feeling a bit better. ate a ton of grilled chicken/grilled steak (in some fajitas) earlier & took a nice nap, that helped.
