Going to dive into it more, looks like there's alot in there. Pretty awesome, if it's legit/accurate/real. Wish Kipchoge just joined strava.



This portion (Training with Kipchoge - 5 Things that Surprised Me) has "invisible font" by accident I imagine, so quoting it, it also touches on some things we talk/debate on here:

Quote
I spent a month training alongside Eliud Kipchoge in August 2017, just a month before the Berlin Marathon 2017. The Berlin Marathon is where Kipchoge will aim to officially break the World Record for the marathon.

Here are 5 things that surprised me a bit:

(1) He was extremely inflexible. After an easy morning run (16km in 1hr10mins), I stretched with the group. Most of them were fairly flexible in the hamstrings – standing straight legged and bending over to touch your toes with your knees straight and being able to touch your toes. Eliud was miles off. He was nowhere near touching his toes! They all found it hilarious that he couldn’t come close to touching his toes.

(2) Warm ups/cool downs. Most marathoners tend to bulk milage into their warm ups/cool downs – 5-6km or 25-30mins can be common amongst elite athletes. Eliud rarely runs more than 15mins (approx 3km) and often closer to just 10mins (approx 2km). On one fartlek sessions we joined in with on August 12th (4x10mins threshold efforts, with 2min rest), they warmed up with 1.8km (9min30sec) and cooled down with the same.

(3) He rarely pushed himself to the limit. It certainly seemed to me that Eliud rarely went 100% in training. Three times per week (Tues, Thurs, Sat – see training week for more details) he ran hard, but he rarely pushed himself to the limit. He was able to get straight into a jog within 1 minute of the end of every workout, without a problem.

(4) He ran his long tempo runs of 40km+ on an empty stomach. Every morning at 6:10am, they start their morning run. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays it’s a hard workout and on the other days, its easy-medium. Every day except Tuesdays track workout, they’ll run on an empty stomach. What’s even better, is that they’ll often wake up just 15mins before the run starts (5:55am).

(5) Tea, huge on tea (with tons of sugar). Eliud drinks a lot of tea. Before training, after training, and at least two more servings per day of tea, with at least 15g of sugar in each serving. Do the math on how much sugar that is every day, just from tea!

flexibility (inflexible), quick warmups, empty stomach runs, not pushing himself to the max, sugar.

09/29/2017 allergy update: swelling way down, but still there.

so, I think I might be having an exercise induced food allergy. Shortly after my intense session, I started feeling my lip swelling, but, I didn't see any swelling. So after 30 minutes or so, i'm looking around and I noticed something in my field of vision, then realize I think something around my eye is swelling. So turns out, I have an area right at the top of my cheek bone, under my eye, swelling. I took a photo. It's gotten a little bigger since then BUT, rounder and less pronounced, so I think it's kind of flattening out.

I'm thinking the massive amount of rice I ate last night could be the culprit. Falling asleep was hard, my gut was annoyed. And after waking up, I took lots of "nice poops" but, had way more "gas". TMI. So kind of like an IBS-ish thing going on. That lasted pretty much all day, including right before my session, and after. So I think this is what's going on. Just way too much damn rice I guess.. should have just chilled and ate some fruit. :D

Photo: lump under my left eye



i need to figure out a nice way to resize photos locally.. lmfao.

The good news is, i feel really good. Body feels very light, explosive, strong, not at all taxed/destroyed from the w/o. Going to just relax, sleep, and hope it disappears. If it gets bad obviously i'll have to get it checked, but I imagine it'll just disappear (hopefully).

peace!!!!!!

This lady says a whole lot of stuff about the foot and training that I hadn't ever thought about (which made this very interesting) a lot of it very controversial but there are some excellent tidbits here and there.

Thanks man!

I was actually off to sleep but I had a glass of milk so I came back to log it .. lmao. I'll check it tomorrow.

I actually *wanted* to check that out before, but I restrained myself, so not to have a bunch of new ideas rattle in my brain. But I did want to check it out, so now you've encouraged me :D

peace!!

REMINDER.

bw = 146
- nice!! fueled up bigtime, still only 146.
soreness = calfs slightly
aches/injuries = right hip slightly
morning quad flexibility = loose
morning hamstring flexibility = loose
feel = good

wakeup = 10 AM
- slept in, rough sleep last night


diet:
- 9 AM: honey turmeric coconut milk pre-made drink
-- hah pretty good
- 9:30 AM: workout: bw
- 11 AM: water w/ lemon, 2 x banana
- 2:30 PM: peanut butter bar at whole foods
- 3:15 PM: banana, 2 x avocado, 2 x sourdough bread, water w/ lemon
- 5:30 PM: 3carb pre-workout drink
- 7 PM: workout: speed
- 8:30 PM: 2% milk + protein, coconut water w/ pulp
- 9 PM: zyrtec anti allergy tab
- 9:30 PM: 3 x grape fruit, coconut probiotic drink, coconut water







stretch:
- 10:30 PM: soleus during dishes
- 11 PM: everything before bed



workout: speed
- https://www.strava.com/activities/1206585869
- sidewalk speed: 18 x ~400m w/ ~100m walking rest: from 80s to 92s. very happy about rep #14 - 81. reps: (83,84,80,82,83,84,84,84,87,87,86,89,89,*81*,84,85,92,91)

wanted 25 x 400m .. but just was dead at the end.

legs felt very bouncy/loose.

need to get in way better shape. The initial 6-8 400m's were "easy" compared to the rest .. they got significantly harder after that, and I was going slower. Alot of my power/speed is up front, which is fine because I really want to focus on 1 mile, but I still think I need a better work capacity. Also, i'm kind of happy i'm focusing on relaxing more now, allows me to get more work in. Last year at this time I was pushing it way harder and hitting only slightly faster paces, for much LESS volume.. so this is a good sign IMHO.

very happy about rep #14 .. I kind of snapped myself out of going slower, and push it. It felt so good. #15 was slower, but still pushed hard, but #14 felt amazing in comparison. Felt like I was in perhaps my best rhythm, among all of the 400's.

Last 2 400's were slower first half, sprint second half. Just experimenting with it. No matter how fast you sprint in that scenario, that slow first half does all of the damage :D

Saturday night might be high volume 200's, at a higher pace, with jog back recovery.





great workout. really wanted to hit those extra 7 400m's but, also wanted to stay safe, could feel my calves a bit more.






Going to try a new style of progress tracker: monthly, embedded into my journal posts. Obviously this should be something fancy/amazing by now but, will make do with this. Also, going to go "across" rather than down, so it all fits into one small block.

TBH, I really like this so far.. even though I only have a few data points thus far. :D

]the saturated fat fills out (the intramuscular triglyceride fat of) muscles better and you look better the next morning. That's what the bodybuilders claim anyway lol.  Great job on the cut. I think you should take a maintenance break and make a new bodyfat% setpoint. You can always cut more later down the line but making this stable is important for keeping the fat off later down the line. Always the part i struggled with tho.

i can't wait until fri .. complete rest day and some big eatin`.

i don't like to stress myself out with it much. as long as i'm "vast majority" eating clean, i'll go off and kill a bunch of food on some day when i really want it. not necessarily ice cream because i'm not at all craving it anymore, but i'm crazing a roast beef sandwich on friday & a huge salad with gorgonzola.. :D

pc

That seems like the healthy way to be! If I've got a craving, I'll either save a day for it, or just make space on the day. E.g. the other day my gf and I both wanted to try out this nice macaron place, so I just cut out a bunch of carbs from the rest of my day's eating and crushed some delicious baked goods. I think it's probably a bit part of why my adherence has been solid overall.

yup, nice! The "equation life".

It's interesting how we can try and make the proper substitutions, but also if we're "wrong", our bodies can pretty much demand that we fill the void ASAP - for us, this is more of a loss of performance, power, strength, endurance, and increased hunger obviously.

I think that's where most novices go wrong too, they don't understand substitution so, they try and "force" their diet, but the body then demands nutrients & they eventually "give in" & over-eat, which is another technique our bodies use to try and protect us from lack of nutrition in the future.

I personally try to avoid being hungry, even as i'm becoming much lighter. I wonder if people think i'm hungry and/or starving myself etc - that's why i'm glad i'm logging my diet again, at least illustrates that i'm eating pretty frequently, though not large amounts of food. Usually when i'm hungry, i'm weak. But hunger changes as my diet changes: if I eat alot, i'm hungry more often. If I eat light & clean, I can do fasted runs in the morning no problem. When i'm eating alot, a fasted run in the morning is much more torturous & I seem to be more susceptible to stomach cramps etc, stomach/digestive organs just freaking out.



and ya, your workouts continue to be on point, 21 dips was big. I need to utilize pulllups/wide grip pullups more like you're doing, i'm getting way too much contribution from my biceps on my ng's/chinups, they just feel so much more comfortable to me though, more comfortable for my hands too.

Lol, I've really got to get on your level w/ the food snaps.

lmao, thanks!

the cam on my phone helps .. but, the biggest "trick" is lighting. The most effective lighting is sunlight, through a window or outside; specifically sunlight poking through something. also sometimes i add a little IG filter make it a little more "vivid", if it needs it.

some dishes that should turn out looking great, come out crappy if the lighting is bad .. so i've realized that really is the #1 natural "effect".

for that photo in the previous post, I literally held that dish up near the window where the sunlight was poking through. If it had been ~5 PM, i'd get even better lighting because the sun sets on that side and really comes through strong. Some of my "best photos" are taken around that time.

some quick tips from my trial and error.. :D

peace!!

It's okay to eat the occasional dirty carb up ..
