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.



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.

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.

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!

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

400m Sprinting or Shorter / Re: Sprint Videos
« on: September 04, 2017, 01:17:58 am »
this popped up in my yt feed, seems decent. also I like what he said about going 98% not 100% and keeping 100% (golden gear) for meets.. so seems more credible with that info :F

I kinda of do this technique naturally .. same for his 400m advice. Just seems like the natural way to run a 200m or 400m.. i'm sure there are several other strategies people employ, so will be fun messing with all of this on occasion.

bw = 155
soreness = shoulders alot, hamstrings alot, adductors alot, calves slightly, quads slightly
aches/injuries = none really, but right adductor is very sore
feel = dead

wakeup = 10 AM
- Last night's sleep got derailed by one of my dog's, kept trying to heave up this fuzz he ate off of his stuffed animal. So I had to hang out with him several times to make sure he wasn't choking to death. Regardless though, went to sleep at ~12 AM and woke at 10 AM, need lots of sleep after the kind of hard workouts I did yesterday.



resting heart rate testing (while responding to threads on teh forum!):
- 32 minutes of HR monitoring
- average: 45
- lowest: 40
- nice!!







buy hat: TODO
- need to go buy a new sun-protecting hat because those bitches stole it.



walk: 14 miles in 4 hours, light/relaxed
- really nice
- didn't sweat at all, even with long sleeve and high socks
- weather is changing in South FLA.
- ez work
- had a few things pop up during the walk but disappear when I really focused back on relaxing/staying loose .. I tighten up a bit when I start walking harder, so I was trying to stay very relaxed & very quiet (ninja walking).
- nothing 18+, nice!!
- if I was fresh/not sore, these would probably all be <= 15





diet:
- really light diet today .. just protein + green tea prior to the walk. Afterwards i'll eat milk+protein, avacado, and something else
- but going light today
- post walk: protein + milk
- b4 bed: 4 x eggs, avocado, water w/ lemon, 2 slices of bread

yeah man damn you got derailed quite a bit.

glad to see you back getting that work in.

jealous of those 5 AM workouts.

Just a bit haha. I will run twice this week as well as weights so getting back there.

It's motivating and devastating at the same time to see how far we can all come in short periods of time. I'm liking the Vag here with consistency being key.

yeah frequency is potent & consistency is probably the most important factor. I think consistency is the thing that haunts me .. i'll think, "what if I had kept boxing?", "what if I had kept jumping?", "what if I had kept running?" So i'd love to try and stay healthy AND stay focused for several years of walking, running, sprinting, and jumping: just some core human attributes. Going to try and be more patient than i've ever been, but also try hard as all hell to not fall of the track (no pun intended). Injuries are a legitimate set back that can be unavoidable. I've had several of those, but i've also had mental setbacks. Mental setbacks are the ones that bug me the most. I can deal with an injury setback because unfortunately that stuff does happen to everyone, but mentally that's where I need to sharpen up.

Man 5am is great but brutal later in the day. I need to get myself used to going to be at 9.30 instead of 10.30 cause 7 hours of sleep feels so much better than 6.

Going to bed so early is probably the most difficult thing .. almost psychological - just feels too early when you're used to staying up late your whole life.

i can't even do 7 when i'm training hard.. only 6 i'd break down fast, for sure. Come to think of it, sleep requirements are probably the biggest factor for why I find it hard to properly train when i'm working a 9-5.. because when training hard, I might need 9 or 10 hours one night, and if i don't get it, i'm destroyed.

Getting used to a new schedule is particularly brutal too .. I'd like to get back to waking up at ~5-6 AM or so but I also know it's going to suck initially.
