Bummer about the race,

ya bad timing, but definitely glad they cancelled it. Imagine a bunch of idiot runners doing a 5k in serious wind, the morning of a Hurricane, taking up police/firefighter resources lmfao.

but the hat is super dope.

thnx! i'm actually going to get another one soon .. I wanted one of those "straw hats", something like this:



going to head back soon and get one of those.. it's bigger than the hat I got so it'll block even more sun.

Saturday's race cancelled as expected.

shields me well!





09/05/2017

bw = 153
soreness = shoulders alot, hamstrings severe, adductors slightly, calves severe (more tightness than soreness, especially up at the origin of the gastrocs), tibs/peroneals very tight, feet slightly
aches/injuries = none
feel = destroyed

wakeup = 6 AM
:headbang:
- but.. only got 5 hours sleep, and I could really feel it all day .. I think I was tighter all day because of it .. I never got that restorative REM cycle.
- dog woke me up, basically dry heaving onto me. thought he was going to puke on me so I had a little adrenaline rush and got him off the bed .. amp'd me up so decided to stay up and help reset sleep sched

^^ only good news of today


diet:
- water w/ lemon
- fasted walk
- protein+water, water w/ lemon, coconut water drink
- 4 x sweet corn + tons of brussels sprouts + serrano + avocado, 3 x banana, half of starbucks premade coffee drink
- whole foods: berry smoothie with whey protein, cookie
- dog walk
- milk+protein, 3 x san francisco sourdough bread (this is so damn good, from whole foods .. try it if you have access)
- water w/ lemon


stretch:
- random calf/quad/soleus/hamstring throughout the day .. just can't help it when i'm this tight
- DONT DO THIS  :pissed: :pissed: :pissed: :pissed: :pissed:
- it just doesn't do anything



fasted walk:
- 7 AM
- 9.2 mi in 2h:20m
- dead beyond belief .. legs toast
- scary: tib ants actually cramped up .. in mile 8 .. never had that happen to me before. VERY SCARY. That shit felt nuts.. felt like I wasn't going to be able to make it home.. but it'd come and go very briefly. Hopefully there's no side effects from my tibs/peroneals being wrecked towards the end of the walk, like some kind of splints forming etc.
- so jump rope destroyed me yesterday.. calves are completely dead, hamstrings are "re-jacked" up.
- it's crazy, I used to jump rope like that basically every day when I boxed.. I was fine.. damn I was in good shape.

decent times for how bad I felt early on, but last 2 miles I fell off bad.. couldn't walk any faster.. everything short circuited.





dog walk:
- 3.5 mi
- felt much better, but legs still dead
- hamstrings more dead than anything
- felt my tibs slightly at times, but good sign that they didn't freak out .. though, I didn't walk nearly as long in distance. The walk itself was nearly 2 hours because of how many stops the dogs make.





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

Got the "mallet" finger checked today. Not have a much nicer splint but have been warned off any barbell work for the next 8-12 weeks  :'(

Im thinking stretching, running and a nice weight cut might be the way to go. GIve me a good place to rebound from once I'm allowed back into it. Also, a dedicated 8-12 should be enough for front splits and a good tilt at side splits too.  I have been told I can do some light machine type work as long as I don't have to close the hand around the handle given the force applied through all fingers even if I'm gripping with only a few.

Edit- weight cut = current weight of 93 to sub 88.

damn 8-12 weeks :/

nice though - could get alot of this other stuff done in 8-12 weeks. Could do a serious "scoobychau weight cut" while getting some good miles in running .. as far as running goes, hands should always be relaxed, so hopefully there's no problems there. Just need to start out really light at first, see i the finger can handle it.

You might look like "Van Damme" in 8-12 weeks.

Yeah I know right. 8 weeks in the splint then another 4 or so weening off it.

I'm thinking a serious cut. Also reading your journal got me thinking what better time to get some miles in and get super low so that when I can add everything back in I'll be at a great base to launch from.

hah nice!!

Haha I need JCVD's glutes though. I'm becoming slightly obsessed with getting some glutes going on. Never had an ass and now's the time.

With the back it's all hip flexor related. Loosen them up and the back is sweet. Walking is highly underrated and I used to do a lot more than I do now.

Damn back pain. No running this morning.

Amazing how much back pain is due to hip flexors for me. Back seized up during the night. Settled down after some stretching but not good enough to go training on it. Might hit up some yoga tonight instead.

also, what would you be willing to do as far as "ADL" goes, when trying to improve hip flexor flexibility? to me, that's one of the biggest problems.. we can do a bunch of things to loosen them up, but then we go sit down for hours a day. Would you do anything on that front? That's been one of the hardest things for me to commit to, standing desk and such.

5 sets of 10 x 120 kg? wow  :ibsquatting:  :highfive:

10 x 5 afaik.. hah. maxent is so "different" with his sets/reps sometimes that you feel like you're reading it backwards.

5 sets of 10 x 120 kg? wow  :ibsquatting:  :highfive:

I read it differently:

10 sets of 5x120kg.

Regardless props on the  :personal-record:

Today is chest and tris

Cardio idk some wod

I wore my hr monitor while I slept one night and at some point it flipped so the sensors weren't on me but it claimed like 750-800 calories burned for 7hrs of sleep and my Avg heart rate was 43 or something.

haha awesome.

i've never done that.. i'd be more excited to try it if i had wrist-based HR monitoring on my watch.

800m+ Running and/or Conditioning / Re: Runners to learn from
« on: September 05, 2017, 12:26:52 pm »
some dude i've raced against etc.. he's fast. 40+ runner, seems to always win the "masters division" or whatever, but also wins the overall sometimes. He's still knocking out sub 5 mile races, 16:XX 5K's etc. I follow him on strava and i'm not sure how he busts out such impressive 5k's without much speed training. He's got a ton of experience so i'm sure that also helps.

https://www.athlinks.com/athletes/50969959/results

he got crazy fast since 2008, very impressive.

in my fast races, he always blows past me around ~1.5-2 miles in, lmfao.

he blogs some stuff too: http://www.runsouthflorida.com/good-timing-by-spencer-d-west/

How much time do you have? If it's ~60 minutes or so, could get in a nice walk when you feel like that. It would probably help with the back + recovery too.

My back can get a little janky after jump rope, sometimes. Have to be a bit more cautious when I lean over etc, left lower back can "twinge" sometimes. About to go walk, it'll probably feel great after. A few hours of postural control + blood flow and such, always has me feeling alot better.



^^^ Well I fucked up that multi-quote haha

fixed. :D

Haha thx mate.

Shoes / Re: Misc Running Shoes
« on: September 05, 2017, 01:13:39 am »
quick review:

https://runrepeat.com/asics-piranha

that piranha looks pretty good.. 3.9 oz fast shoe. the fact that you want to train AND race in them, makes that weight seem reasonable. You don't put in huge volume in your sprint training sessions so I don't think these would be a problem.

the only thing I don't like about them right off the bat, is the 4mm heel/toe drop. It's not huge, very small in fact, but definitely noticeable to someone like me who prefers 0 drop (or negative drop) for running/sprinting shoes.





i couldn't find anything on sportsshoes, lots of nice spikes but nothing spikeless for sprinting :/

couldn't find anything on runningwarehouse either, bleh!

http://www.runningwarehouse.eu/searchshoe.html?cat_filter=MRSROARACSH&type=men#cat_filter=MRSROARACSH&type=men&search=args&filter_pron=RMSNEU&minprice=&maxprice=&filter_type=null&opt_page=1&opt_sort=alphaAtoZ&opt_perpage=20

everything is for 5k+, bulky heel etc.


seems like the asics piranha is the best find so far.. I wish they had my saucony shay xc4's on one of these sites, i'd recommend that. 0 drop & has a bit more support, coming in at ~4.4 oz.



anyone else have any links, specifically with spikeless flats in the UK?

Morning BW: N/A

Workout

Jog to track ~.85mi

Warmup sprints
1 x ~10m
1 x ~15m
1 x ~20m

Jumping
~10 SVJs and ~5 RVJs [LR plant] at hoop. Able to get about full wrist to the backboard with an RJV and to bottom of fingers on SJV

Sprints
4 x ~60m with walk back recovery [don't know my track markings well enough to measure this, but it was like 80 normal steps]

Jog home ~.85mi

Notes

Over-ate on this trip, but ate nice stuff so i feel fine about it. Rather, I ate more like I ate pre-cutting, which feels like so much food now, crumbs. Ate more moderately today, but had a heavy meal about 2 hours pre-track, so I could really feel that sitting my stomach while moving.

This felt really nice. Jumping and sprinting is fun. Will be fun to have progress here as I just get better at the movements and get lighter/leaner.

Should probably keep sprints maybe to 40m, not sure I've the endurance or max speed to make 60m necessary, the last bit already feels like it is being spent slowing down.

I think my hip adductors and flexors may be sore tomorrow.

awesome!

IMHO, just in case: don't go 100% max V on short sprints .. maybe toy with that once in a while after a few months of training, but for now just keep it in the <= 90% range. As you already mentioned to me, you're probably sore af already. Ease into it nice and slow. my 2 cents!

peace!
