For the Before leg drain, what was your soreness like compared to after?

standing double leg hamstring stretch (ie bending down to touch my toes) was very painful .. after, I could do it with barely any pain which lasted for about an hour (until I went to sleep).. then the next morning I had barely any soreness in my hamstrings.

so the immediate before/after was really impressive.. the next day improvement was great too but what really got me was the immediate results.

Any sources on how/why this works? I'm sure I could just google it, but I'm unaware of the subject so I don't know if what I'm reading will be credible.

I think we've discussed it before but I don't recall seeing any studies on it.

When I learned about it (at a performance center internship), I was told: "It drains waste/metabolic biproducts back into the lymphatic system".. It sounds impressive but no idea if that's why it actually works.

What I do know is that we've found several videos over the years of Chinese Olympic Weightlifters using this technique for recovery ... so there's definitely people/coaches that believe it helps.

Try it out one time and let us know. The best way to do it is to prop the legs almost straight up, but you want them to be 'relaxed' .. you should be able to hold that position "forever" with no effort/straining.. At the end, when you turn over and get back on your feet, your feet should feel a bit numb/tingly & extremely light/relaxed.

If any1 finds any studies, post!! :D I don't think i'll be able to search today.

this worked extremely good last night.. major difference immediately after doing it for ~20 minutes.. legs felt less sore/light/bouncy.

sometimes this stuff works really good.. i should do it more often i think.

also the next day, legs felt better than expected, but that could have also been due to how much I ate yesterday.. regardless, the immediate before/after experience with really sore/dead legs was impressive.

Nike trains 3 athletes to run sub-2h marathon:

http://www.runnersworld.com/marathon/nikes-audacious-plan-break-the-2-hour-marathon-barrier-in-2017

that was a great read! thanks!

If I had to pick someone to do it, it would be Bekele.. The current WR 5k & WR 10k holder, also second fastest marathon ever.. He's probably sponsored by someone else. Of everyone we can think of, I think he is the most capable.

As for those picks, Kipchoge is a beast and Tadesse (like they said) is one of the most beautiful runners i've seen.. similar to Bekele. I watched his half marathon WR, it's insanely fast and he looks like he should be able to put together something much better than 2:10 ... if any1 has the talent of those 3, it's probably Tadesse.. but Kipchoge has the experience/grit it seems. I dno, I don't expect any of those 3 to go sub 2 .. but i'd love to be wrong. Regardless, an interesting project.. It definitely seems like it's on the level of sub-4 minute mile (initially) and sub-10 100m.. it has to be achievable.

Bekele tho...... He might make another crack at it in the next Berlin Marathon.

The pace for sub-2 is unreal. I can't fathom that pace for 26.2 miles.

the race posted this picture, horrible quality.. i'm on the left (i shaved):



the top 3 were:
- 4:42
- 4:47
- 4:51
- so I was 21 seconds off of third place. guh.

I didn't try and stick with them.. just said F it, try and relax but still go fast.. legs/brain just too dead to push hard today. so regardless, happy about the result + PR.

usually when I PR a mile, I PR 800m/1km etc.. one of those as well.. didn't PR those today, actually ran the 2nd half really consistent/relaxed. I *SHOULD* have sprinted out that last quarter.. if i did that, I would have probably gotten sub-5 for the unofficial GPS measurement, FAIL++.

right foot hurting all day.. any time i stretched quads, top of my foot/ankle hurt.. basically, the top of my foot hurts when i plantar flex my foot, but more so when i'm stretching it.. doesn't bother me as much when i walk around - though I can tell it's there.. and if I try to plantar flex while walking, then I definitely feel it.

crazy how i got wrecked kicking a ~20 lb. dog in the head.. fwiw, it's kinda like a jack russel build, but definitely not a jack russel (and it's black/brown).. but it's kinda like that, small/muscled up/strong.

on top of that, my hamstrings are wrecked. hah.

:raging: :raging: :raging:



ate & stretched a ton today.. hoping that helps somewhat... that's my only hope.

Session: Stretching

THROUGHOUT THE DAY

- TONS of quad/hamstring/foot stretching




my foot/ankle isn't bad enough to stop me from running tomorrow's race... I mean I ran "fine" yesterday at the track .. even though I was slow af (probably more-so due to my sore hamstrings).. So, not really to worried about that..

I am worried about my hamstrings though.. right now they are very sore.. There is a slim CHANCE that they will be decent tomorrow - my legs feel better/lighter tonight even though they are still sore, which is usually a good sign.. after I sleep/wakeup, soreness can be almost gone. So, it's POSSIBLE.

we'll see though.. doubt it.

regardless...... if I race tomorrow, i'm going to pace/hold back. If i'm sore/wrecked i'll have no other option, really hard to push myself when my hamstrings are sore.. It basically shuts me down.

about to lie down with my legs up and then take a hot shower .. and sleep.

:D

man fuck people who let their dogs be like that. if it's happened more than once...dude should not be allowed to own a dog.

ya it's a spanish lady.. what's crazy is, it ALWAYS seems to be a spanish lady whose dog is off of the leash.. There's been quite a few of them around here which do the same thing. It's weird.

i've never let my dogs do that.. but i'm more afraid of them getting hit by a car than biting someone.. how these people's dogs are still alive, the way people drive on these residential streets, is unbelievable.

I actually saw her other dog (nice one) a few blocks down the street today as I was driving out of the neighborhood.....



edit: There's ~5 spanish families on my street & 3 of the women let their dogs outside without the leash.... no one else does anything like that... wtf.

in lahore this weekend we got breakfast one morning with a friend of a friend and he brought his 1.5-year-old german shepherd along. clearly almost completely untrained/unsocialized. it sort of understood "sit" in urdu but that was it. tried to jump up, eat our shoes, pulled constantly at its leash. it's one thing if you've got a little dog -- although that's still bad -- but german shepherds are big and can fuck you up if they feel like getting violent or overexcited.

dogs should come with compulsory classes for people to understand their responsibilities as an owner.

damn.. ya man that's horrible. Around here at least, the "big dog owners" seem to really train their dogs well. I rarely see a big dog which isn't very obedient etc. It almost seems like they all go to classes/get professional dog training. It's always the smaller dogs which are a problem.. Those are the ones constantly off of leashes, running around the neighborhood etc.. I'd be scared af if I saw some pitbull roaming the neighborhood. That actually happened waaaay back when I was like ~15 or so, but it was a Doberman which was trying to get me.. Happened right in front of my house. I ran from it and jumped into the back of my neighbor's truck... hah.

I got bit in the face by a dog when I was a child so I've always been a bit cautious with dogs. You showed it who's boss so hopefully it doesn't try and mess with you anymore since it was getting more and more aggressive etc.

It saw me today and stayed by the garage.... that's never happened before... OWNED.

except.. my foot has been hurting all fucking day.. it actually wrecked my foot a bit.. seems like I strained some muscles in the top of my foot and/or sprained some unlikely ligaments.

fml fml fml

:raging:

But at least the dog stayed away from me... I was curious to see what would happen next time. Honestly, if it had rushed my again, i'd be afraid to kick it.. It's hard little granite head fucked me up.

I'll probably bend down and open hand slap it in the face next time.

dreamed I was on Judge Judy. So basically, an entire dream of me being in court.. All of the mundane court stuff. So finally I win the case, then I ask Judge Judy to film something special for my mom, on my phone.. Since my mom loves watching Judge Judy. Judge Judy agreed and taped a message to her. Then the dream ended..

ye it was def good night of fights, some more then others.

terence crawford made molina look like a novice and just ineffective.

abner mares fight was good too I don't know how it was split decision. This was my favourite the night.

anthony joshua was fighting someone who just didn't want to fight. Anthony was supposed to fight klitschko and they agreed but wanted wba belt on the line, they got reply late so they decided to do voluntary before and aj won and now we get the fight, all aj's fight easy for him and klitschko maybe good opponent or, hopefully not, he may do the same thing as he did against tyson fury.


I didn't watch jermell charlo fight, had these 3 to watch before going to sleep.

ya I don't think Klitschko/Joshua will look anything like the Fury fight.. Joshua has that freak athleticism/speed/power, so he'll be able to put real pressure on Klitschko when he wants.. slip jabs and get in, launch huge shots.. plus he's got a decent jab himself. This will look more like a normal fight hah.

Charlo had a disgusting uppercut KO..

and ya, Mares was my favorite fight. He brings it.. I've never been let down watching one of his fights. Look forward to his next big one.. probably between the winner of Frampton/Santa-Cruz 2 (which should be amazing). That's such a solid division.

Ye, they actually announced straight after the fight in the ring, official announcment, I knew it was going to happen but aj had to win, which was easy.

can't wait for aj, and it was only recently he stepped up to face world champions and beat them easily, now this is another step up to see if he is the real deal.

ya and he's stepping up "way too early".. but if he's the real deal, he should be able to get it done.. i'm worried for Klitschko. He doesn't have the best chin - he usually is able to stay away from guys.. But I can't imagine he'll be able to stay away from Joshua the entire fight. Joshua is going to get in and land something big, guaranteed.. when that happens, I don't think Klitschko will be able to survive it.

I got AJ by KO in 5.  8)
