probably going to order this running hoodie tonight .. man it's really slick & "aerodynamic" (tight) to me. The Orgeon Project is somewhat controversial .. any objections? Lmfao.

I LOVE the urls they use, haha:

bumped my hard mile day, for an easy day - due to hamstring insertion issue. all good.

also posted an old single leg dunk clip .. really love this clip. Had alot of potential with single leg.. too bad my left leg "died" ("thigh splint") from ME SL jumps.

incredible session. legs feel perfect (other than that little hamstring tweak). didn't feel it at all during the run, nor after - unless i stretch it etc.

^^ that's basically 1000's of alternating stiff leg single leg pogos............. that's how I ran slow. Basically just working on my Kipchoge strike.

felt incredible afterwards.

I can pogo like that for hours. Didn't bother my ham insertion issue at all. Very interesting. Ham insertion also doesn't feel worse afterwards, feels a bit better. Interesting x2.

secret sauce coming.

Apparently there's a SquatDr on the local running group .. i've been wrecking him tonight. He claimed he some CR for Weston 5k is 13:28 by some elite, and not 14:28 by another local elite. So i've been messing with him for the last hour. Check this exchange, it's absolutely epic.

LMFAo.

This guy times lots of the local races. Most of the recent races which are off in distance.. go figure.

ps: I messaged the guy on FB who he claims ran 13:28... waiting for his reply

why do people do this stuff?

his response is SO amazing:

Quote

Josh Stern Wow dude.. Rick Stern and I are stumped we are looking at this now thinking this whole time we've been thinking this guy was bernard lagat. LMAO.. The I remember the news there and everything interviewing him saying he was bernard lagat...Maybe this guy fooled everyone....?? Ronnie Holassie's record definitely was broken by Bodnar and Jefferson. Come by the office sometime in the next 4-5 days and Ill pull all the books out for ya. I'm leaving on business tuesday until the 30th otherwise itll have to wait till after that.

also, oregon project, really? you're such an anti-doping dude, and the smoke around salazar and company is so heavy.

ya i know, it's weird. And once I have it, I may feel weird about wearing it. I weighed that before buying it. I also thought, if I got a US jacket or a Kenya jacket (like I have now), those also come with doping labels attached. So I ended up getting it because I do love Mo, Galen, Hasay etc (not Salazar). The Oregon Project is tainted, but it also has people like Mo & Galen who are tested year round, randomly - those guys also accelerated my love for this sport. Regardless, not a fan of Salazar. Would be nice if they just replaced him with someone who has a clean record.

who knows though.. if something truly massive comes out, i'll have something I can make my first "burn video" with.

other than that, the project has done alot for distance running. I mean Centrowitz's gold, Galen's AR's/Medals, Mo, etc.. If all of them are cheats then I will burn it for IG. Could become my best ~$80 spent.

but ya it's def odd. lol.

edit:

but ya, I probably shouldn't have ordered it. I liked the way it looked so much that I ignored better judgement!

FWIW. I contacted nnrunningteam prior to ordering it, wanted to see if I could pick up one of their jackets (the ones Kipchoge wears etc). But they said they don't have a shop yet. The sad thing is, at some point even those jackets could become tainted - Kenyan doping scandals etc. It's all just annoying in general.

cheaters = pieces of shit.

great session. I really love this park. mostly just ran relaxed but was gearing up mentally for that ME hill sprint.

previous PR's up the hill are ~52-53s? I forget.. so this was considerably faster. Basically sub5 pace up the hill, which has been a goal. slowed down at the very top to hit the lap key like a noob.

on my easy/slow runs, i'm usually "bundled up". just my windbreaker hoodie or a fabric hoodie, and pants or compressions. really don't feel the extra layers, which is good i guess. First and foremost i'm using it to protect a bit against the sun hehe. Secondly though, trying to dehydrate more *during* easy runs (not proper runs).

very easy day.

I changed my mind! I'm driving to the Keys, not busing. Realized it's become more stressful thinking about waking up at 4:30 AM that day, getting to the airport (where the buses are) by 5:45. Then getting to the keys, needing to take a nap. Also not having a car there + being able to take less supplies etc.

So, 3 hour 30 minute drive but i'll just:
- wake up whenever (sleep in!)
- eat my typical pre-race morning meal
- take my time
- take several stops along the way to keep my legs loose
- and get there ready to go, no nap

etc.

also just realized, that 5:05 I ran on grass recently is my fastest "alone mile"! so not only a grass PR, but also an alone mile PR. Shortly after my previous alone mile PR of 5:11, I went 4:58. word.

5:11 alone-mile PR:

I also had some 1km PR's afterwards etc. I was really pushing it hard. Harder than I am now. I do have a hard mile workout scheduled for tomorrow morning though so.. we'll see.

hard speed day. shit warmup, rained out basically. still got some work done.

got my proj oregon hoodie. feels great. quality.

hamstring insertion felt fine during the hard speed .. felt it a bit prior during the warmup. felt it a little later tonight when flexing my knee deliberately, fucking with it. lame. iced it hard.

if i could get that to disappear by thursday, i'll be very happy.

absolutely shit warmup. rushed.

should rebound nicely for thursday .. pretty wrecked today and still fast.

they "tried" to kick me off during my 1km .. but i just kept running. so they locked me in (I could have just hopped a fence). funny. all good.

no stretching, running, or anything in the lead up to thursday. just going to eat good, do nothing, and recover.

should be flying on thursday.. couldn't hit a high gear today during this hard speed workout, but still ran pretty fast.

what i'm realizing with accumulated fatigue running is, once i accumulate, i lack the extra gears. It happened in my last mile race. Didn't take any days off prior, couldn't kick at all. Had no speed. Felt like I could keep that 5:06 going for longer.

I think that's why my two day rest protocol works so well. I just force myself to recover/rebound from all of that fatigue I create, because i'm "over zealous". So it ends up working out, similar to dunking.

We'll see Thursday though... If my 2-day rest protocol works like it should, I should drop a mile PR out of nowhere.

2 day rest races, big PR's:
#1 coral springs mile: 4:58
#2 boca 5k: 17:55
#3 vista view relay?
#4 boca 10k: 37:14
#5 coral springs half: 1:21:40
#6 ficpa 5k: 17:35
#7 duval street mile: ???

i'm def curious. I haven't dropped PR level 1 mile workouts.. but, if my 2 day rest works + my rebound effect works, should be able to PR it since i'm still fairly close to sub5 in general (5:06 road, 5:05 grass).

gn!

Just looking back at my mile race on 12/13/2017

http://www.adarq.org/progress-journals-experimental-routines/adarq's-journal/msg137895/#msg137895

That was my first 2-day rest race. Felt incredible. Weight was similar (143 then, 142 now). Weather was perfect then (55 F or so?), going to be hot tomorrow but who cares - at least no u-turn! Had some issues back then (behind left knee, left calf tight etc), issues now (left medial hamstring insertion). I definitely was training alot HARDER (faster) then: I was on that every other day hard af peaking ideology.

I ate alot that morning & day.. kinda nuts. Said my stomach felt it, as i'd expect.

I still remember that cookies & cream milkshake.. need to do something like that again after this race, hopefully after another PR
