11/11/2017: Lights 5k
- not doing this one again
- 2016: https://www.strava.com/activities/773733189
- splits: 5:33, 5:57, 6:16, 5:24

put this in here: just to show that was my best overall 5k from a consistency standpoint, still like 3rd best 5k .. was in the lead the whole time and just ran my own race .. so didn't blow myself out early in the first mile: also ran at night.. the only 5k i've ever run at night.. that probably has alot to do with it actually heh. that race is too dark for me without my glasses though, that's why i won't do it again.

rest day.

So I'm coming to realize that the quad-dominant running I naturally gravitate to is much faster than the "perfect top speed mechanics" I try to force myself to do. It's mostly just a matter of stride frequency, I feel like when I have a strong forward lean I can move my legs so much faster and still get decent stride length. Will shoot video at some point comparing the two.

i'm definitely very interested to see how this unfolds. i've been on about that alot lately, the *potentially* detrimental signals we generate consciously, ie the "mechanical override" stuff.

keep us posted on this! also curious about the video etc.

also just for clarification: your comment about the strong forward lean .. the strong forward lean "form" is your more quad dominant form? the more upright form with "perfect top speed mechanics" is your more p-chain dominant form?

if so, then in your upright form you are just really trying to consciously pull more - sacrificing stride freq, but with your lean, you are just turning over faster, more naturally?

ie, the "perfect top speed mechanics" + "pull signal" are adding extra latency between each stride, ie slowing down your stride freq.. But when you simply focus on lean, or let it happen naturally (?), there's less noise, thus more efficiency.

that's just how I perceived it.

^^ are you forcing the lean or does it just happen naturally?

peace!!
