just watched "breaking2" on National Geographic, well done. Just a recap of the buildup/event.

Man, I Kipchoge is just incredible. It's jaw dropping how beautiful he runs for 26.2 miles.

is it just me or do vertecs often seem to be leaning a little bit? would make a big difference to measured heights if so, and be a pretty serious bug in the design.

serious flaw for sure .. once you put them at their "max height", lowest part of the silver bar at the 10' marking, it's really "flimsy" and that's when you see the bend/tilt. If you have it at 9'6", it's ok. If you raise it ABOVE 10', using your own custom marking, where it's nearly about to come out of the base piece, it's super flimsy.

so yup, definitely spot on about a flawed design... it doesn't hold up well at mostly ~10' usage .. i think that's why you see lots of videos with people having it at 9'6" and having people still do impressive vert tests on them, it's much more solid/straight at this measurement.

peace!

Andre ward announces retirement from boxing.

It's a shame because of his legal battle he was left out of some exciting fights. But what a great fighter.

hopefully it's a Mayweather style retirement .. I feel like there's still some major fights for him out there :/

sucks.

but hey he'll be healthier for it.. so good move.

workout: light speed, working on ~5 min/mi pacing

https://www.strava.com/activities/1195456092/laps

part 1: sidewalk speed: working on relaxed sub 5 pace: 25 x ~100m with 10m fly in
part 2: sidewalk speed: working on relaxed sub 5 pace: 3 x ~250m with 10m fly

just working on trying to just hit a very relaxed sub 5 pace.

had to reset my watch, max lap limit.





decent session .. tried to just stay very relaxed while also hitting those paces. went ok .. did jog back recovery after a while, walk back recovery was too easy. Should have done jog back from the beginning, will do that in the future! In better condition now, so really light jog makes the workout move along faster too.

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.
