Granola is so dangerous to have in the house.

hah. yup.

i know it makes me feel like crap but it looked good and i got it anyway. maybe i was hoping for a different result.

threw the rest out :<

was some good quality granola too.. just wrecks me.

i bet your kids eviscerate granola if it's around hah.

felt great all day. also feeling very light.

cleaning up diet again. have stopped (about a week) the fasting I had been doing for months, in order to eat more fruit in the morning etc. fasting helped me get my weight down with less run volume.

now that my run volume is going up a little bit again (not frequency, just 2 long sessions per week), i'm more hungry in the morning. my weight is still down so it doesn't really matter.

when i eat 5 bananas and 2 avocados, i feel great. etc.

i just want to eat more fruit and veggies. if eating some in the morning helps me do more of that, then i'm all for it.

04:45 PM: light: 1h30m w/ {1h15m "steep hill" non-stop) ::: (rocks) /// decent! wanted to make it to 10 mi on the hill but only made it to 8

- avg cadence < 170 lmfao. solid.

great session. very relaxed but decent hill pace.

my goal still, is to be able to run 20 miles non-stop up/down that steep hill. so far i don't think i've gotten to 10. I did 42 miles on this course once, but that's doing the loop. not going up/down the steep hill repeatedly. so 20 miles non-stop would be psychotic. been on my mind for a while. need to slowly chip away at that.

legs feel great post-session.







143 before bed.

waking up early for CHI marathon. \o/

just ordered 3 more jacknobber's! so i'll have 4 total.

want to try out some weird stuff.. like doing both calves simultaneously, with adductors or glutes etc.

sounds crazy & very painful. 8|

bw: 142

injury: bad
- the intense stretching probably isn't helping any

stretching: didn't plan on doing any, but annoyed, so did tons

- wow. avg cadence = 165.. crazy low.



12:30 AM: stretching
- lots of seated double leg hamstring

Nice bw drop. looked through your log a bit to see previous history of weight. 160 -> 140 is pretty intense.

also noticed this:

- 40" RVJ (LR DLRVJ)
- 35" L-SLRVJ

your original vert goals were identical to mine!

Could you give me an opinion on maintaining lean strength while losing bodyweight and how they relate to athleticism? I am moderately strong right now at 190 (maybe 315 1RM BS) but would like to get around 170 with like a 355 1RM. I think my best BW:strength ratio is around 180:375 The actual strength numbers don't matter that much, just the explosiveness I get from them.

You think it would be better to drop to a more extreme 170 or a modest 185 and keep more strength if my end goal is overall athleticism (explosiveness, top speed, dlrvj, slrvj, hard change of direction and agility)? obviously I would be doing a lot more field work than strength work as well

cool thanks!

160+ to 142 without much exercise, over ~6 months or so. mostly diet. way diff than usual.

i prefer the slow cut. with that, i'd just step up frequency a bit on the strength work. that formula always worked great for me. don't have to try to crush it in the weight room if the frequency is higher, and more frequent sessions help keep the LBM on while going into a caloric deficit etc.

190 to 170 is a big drop, so i wouldn't force it. 170 may be unrealistic right now - no idea. as long as you're taking it slow, you'll maintain or increase power/strength imho, either way being a relative power/strength increase.

i did something similar when dunking, 160 to 145 etc. just kept the frequency high (short lifting sessions) + moderate jump/sprint sessions, and cleaned up diet. always worked great for me.

pc!
