« on: January 13, 2017, 07:59:19 pm »It's interesting how every body is built differently. What you describe as this heavy feeling @ 158lbs sets in for me at 215lbs+ ... there is no way I could get below 170lbs without going on starvation mode. I think I would feel the best for running/jumping at 185-190lbs but for olympic lifting 210-215lbs feels just right.
at 180+ i feel morbidly obese. the heaviest I got while being a gluttonous sedentary programmer was 207 lb.. could barely move. I imagine if I had been training (running + lifting) i'd have felt somewhat better though. but ya I feel very "unhealthy" when I get over 170; fatigue quicker, breathe harder, move mushier etc.
Quote
Maybe I'll switch up my training at one point to achieve that 40'' (running) jump... we'll see. It's somewhat reassuring to still jump around 32'' at this bw without any focused jump training.
nice! i imagine if you keep making so many gains that would be hard though, going down to ~185
+1 bodies are fascinating. i've literally never felt heavy in the way y'all are describing. my adult weight has stayed within a range of 15 pounds at the most extreme (as low as 165 when i've been sick or adjusted to a completely new living environment and routine, and as high as 180 when i was doing starting strength), and generally within five pounds/2kg (171-176 or so).
ya the biggest symptom of getting heavier is losing my 'bounce/snappyness'. When I no longer feel that, I feel sluggish etc. Also my breathing feels different when I run, and I feel 'warmer' during the day. I prefer when i'm shivering like a chiuaua, I feel like my body doesn't overheat as easy.
alot of stuff can be mental too but .. usually all of my performance numbers seem to click once I get really light.
edit: I was leaner and lighter towards the end/peak of my dunking.. my body actually felt better then too. Same with when I boxed, I was lighter/leaner than dunking (less muscle), felt amazing. I'm also older now too, so that could explain things.. but, I feel worse at 157 now than I did at 147 a few weeks ago. Maybe when i'm heavier I obviously eat more, and eating more usually makes me feel more tired/sluggish/"oily"/bloated etc.. So there's several things going on.

Trained today though.

« on: January 13, 2017, 03:25:57 am »i am, to be perfectly blunt, worried you're going to hurt yourself with the amount of volume you're doing.
ya i'm keeping my eyes on it closely.. the only real issues i have from it so far, is calf tightness.. but i've had that with speed oriented training too.
things that are always on my mind: hip, achilles, calves, feet, hip flexor.
so as long as I kill the ego, I should be good.. if I experience any weird sensations/pain when running, i'll stop. Pushing through it is the recipe for disaster.
one thing I have working in my favor, is my 'every other day' running .. so, it's not like im running 17 monday, 15 tuesday, 10 wednesday, 17 thursday etc.. i'm purposefully avoiding that for health reasons etc.
so ya hoping this style of high volume is at least safer.
peace!

« on: January 13, 2017, 03:12:55 am »158, damn that's a lot for you! but if it comes with strenf that you can maintain to an extent while getting back toward 150, worth it.
ya definitely. i'm already starting to focus on getting back down under 150 (as of tonight) .. hehe. I definitely 'feel heavy' when i'm running, I don't like the feeling. I'm also going to keep my routine mostly the same; I might cut down some volume on lifting but that's about it. I like my alternating schedule of lifting/running.
I definitely need to get alot stronger. So i'll continue on this path for 3-6 months I think. I know I can get my speed back by reducing volume considerably and focusing more on low/fast mileage, so i'm not worried about that. One of the things i'd like to figure out though, is how to get faster putting in this longer distance runs/higher volume sessions. It seems alot harder to me as of the last ~1.5 years .. but, I think I just need to really gut it out and slowly chip away at improving my pace over these distances. Say for example I could improve my old half marathon from 7:20's min/mi to 6:30's min/mi ... That'd be an enormous 'base improvement' for when I start focusing on speed. So i'm going to keep focusing on improving this base for a while. I want my legs to 'feel completely fine' after a 20 miler.
One of my main markers is to get back to sub 5min/mi pace for my 400m repeats that I do on my track days.. right now i'm mid to upper 5's mostly.. need to be under 5 min/mi on speed days, that'll make me very confident about my speed at any point in time; ie could easily just do a 5k or 1-miler and expect to bang out a decent time.
peace!

I tried on a bunch of shoes today at several outlet stores.. absolutely none of them felt good except for these NB's. So just decided to go with these for my 'experiment' (heavier shoe training on my long moderate/slow runs).

so i went to a bunch of outlet stores today at the sawgrass mills mall, looking for some beast "long distance" running shoes.. unreal, couldn't find anything except for these:
I tried on like 6 different pair of running shoes, they all felt horrible except for these New Balance 790v6 Speed Ride's.
They are decently light (7.9 oz), feel great/comfortable, feel 'hard' not mushy etc.. Ran 17 miles with them tonight, pretty much exactly what I wanted in a long distance training shoe.
FWIW, they felt 100x better than the adios's.. Also I feel better after running in them, other than my calves, but those have been acting up lately. Feet/quads/knees felt great running in them. Obviously not apples to apples (i've got in several long runs since running in the Adidas), but you know a shoe is 'better' immediately, once you put it on.. at least I do anyway.
