Well said! Australia has a similar culture of masculinity. It's not cool to be skinny, which is probably coz 60%+ of the population is classified as either overweight or obese. http://www.huffingtonpost.com.au/2016/02/24/australia-obesity-statistics_n_9154422.html

damn didn't know it was like that over there too .. probably not too many places in the world where being thin is as frowned upon as the US, so sucks that's the case for AU as well.

Being skinny/thin just bothers some men, so damn much. It's astonishing.. I'm sure most of them aren't envious at all, they look at you like you are just inferior & a disgrace to being a man.

When I look at Mo Farah or Kipchoge etc, I see power & strength. Other people see weakness, "refugee", "female", etc. Meanwhile these guys are freaks of nature athletically, and their training is on par with the toughest in the world. Just crazy how people's minds work.

Same as if you video yourself dunking or lifting some people will criticize you but deep down it's mainly that their envious that they either don't have the confidence or athleticism to do the same feat.

ya there's this weird reaction from envious people .. not saying all people who "hate" or criticize are envious, some of them just genuinely think someone is stupid or inferior for doing whatever it is they are doing .. but for the truly envious ones, that reaction is just incredible to me. For example, if i'm out running and I see someone faster than me, which is extremely rare, i'd be happy af. That'd be exciting to me, i wouldn't be mad, jealous, annoyed .. Just like in dunking; when I was jumping high & landing some nice dunks, I didn't care at all if someone could jump higher or dunk better, in fact, it motivated me and made me excited. I'd also ask them, hey man want to be in my video?! For example, the lion swag video with the dude who could jump out of the gym.. I have a bunch of other videos where I feature people landing all kinds of dunks, simple ones to amazing ones. I guess I just don't identify at all with these "hater" types, they are mysterious to me.

In the words of Conor McGregor, man.. whada buncha fooqn biches.

You're the man! If everyone possessed the same attitude as yours the world be such a more tolerant/better place.

hah thanks.

workout: morning relaxed speed, not feeling too great (slightly sick), GREAT session: w/u-2.5, 1.41 mi / 2260k @ {5:32 + 2:21/5:41), 1 mi @ 5:39, 2 x 260m, c/d-2.5, no watch!!

slightly sick but, body fought it pretty good i think.. nothing major. didn't feel too fast early on during warmups, but then on a few strides before hitting the first 1.4 mi, i started feeling some power..

my goal was a hard (but relaxed) 1.4 mi @ an average of < 5:40 min/mi pace, surprising success, without looking at my watch at all.. I knew I was moving decent when some little kid on a bike tried to keep up with me and I smoked him, haha. That made me laugh & relax even more.

Then I finished with one more mile, which I wanted under 5:40 ..

I love not looking at my watch, it's the best decision i've made with running so far.. It really helps me focus on what my body wants to give me that day, instead of what I WANT my body to give me, which can be two very different things.. and when they are very different, it can become stressful -> tightening up more, fighting harder, etc..

Learning alot from researching these Kenyan runners. Absolutely love how they train & approach running.

wow, my stride freq was awesome on the 1.4! low 180's avg, never going above 188 for max. Exactly what I want.








TODO: 800's - cut down perhaps - mixed with trotting

- kinda

workout: evening relaxed speed, legs dead: 1.5 mi path - carved out 2 x 800m {wu-2:53/5:46, 2:38/5:16}, 2 x 420m {1:19.4/5:06, 1:29.5/5:49}, no watch, light jog recovery
- https://www.strava.com/activities/1248434756

pretty beat up by tonight, didn't have much in me. Happy about the 2 800's though .. first one (warmup) was @ 178 SPM! Second one was at 189 SPM. So both under 190 .. under 180 is pretty cool.









tmw = light recovery.
