Session: Afternoon

3 PM
- 73 F, 100% humidity (hah)

runs:
- didn't feel so powerful.. but i like i planned, held back in this session so I could go hard at night (jump + run).
- was also raining/wet


1. 0.09 mi in 36s
- ~6:36 min/mi

2. 0.09 mi in 31s
- ~5:33 min/mi

3. 0.26 mi in 1m:20s

Food

6 PM
- whole foods

-- not sure what that actually means



Food

7:30 PM
- CAFF'D UP!!!! 

- 2% milk + 2 tea spoons of bustello instant coffee, + some honey
- my old pre-dunk mix..



Session: Evening

8:30 PM
- shoes: newer xc900v2's (haven't ever jumped in these, but have been wearing them "out" for about a year, so they still actually feel new/have good grip).

run (to court):
- 0.55 mi in 3:05
- 10.8 mph, 5:34 min/mi
- felt great

jumps:
- ~30 jumps each, L-SLRVj/R-SLRVJ
- mostly submax
- a few max jumps with L-SLRVJ: hit ~10'8 3 times.. ~2" better than i've jumped since the come back
-- ^^ whole hand over rim
- PR territory for me, with L-SLRVJ height-check jumps is around 10'10" ... so i'm actually pretty close to that. though it seems in previous videos that I have gotten up higher, I always do on lobs.. so if I can end up getting 35" (11' touch) without a lob, i'll be fucking flying again... 
- didn't try to push it even further past 10'8, felt happy with this and backed off.
- also did tons of jumps from various angles, even practicing 180's / one side of the hoop to the other and such, touching rim.

jumps felt so good.. very explosive.. also crazy amp'd from the caffeine.

- also finally cleared the "key" (from one side to the other), with L-SLRHJ.. did this from about ~5 ft behind the out of bounds line, and cleared it landing on one foot. Also cleared it landing on two feet from much further back, was basically a full speed ~30 yard sprint + L-SLRHJ.

run:
- 0.75 mi in 5:04
- cramped up hard at ~2minutes.. was actually running pretty good, sub 6.. cramp kicked in probably from lack of real food.
- wanted to run 5k :/
- so that ended up being a bust..

completely drenched at the end. humidity was nuts. 77F + 100% humidity at night.



Food

9:50 PM

- huge stir fry: grilled chicken, broccoli, tons of garlic (1 entire head of garlic), white onion, half of a green pepper, red chili pepper, serrano pepper, 2 x turmeric, lots of mixed nuts, olive oil, salt/pepper, some ginger root, 4 x carrots, kalamata olives, shredded beets, goat cheese at the end
- whole milk

excellent..

extremely happy with today's jumps.. first time I really focused on jumping "fresh" in a long time. usually i've been jumping after a significant amount of running etc.. so got to see where i'm at right now with lots of caffeine in me & legs feeling bouncy/fresh.

i'm hoping I can train again sunday.. mandatory rest tomorrow, then run-emphasis on sunday. I'd like to do a bunch of tempo 400's in the afternoon session, then 5k run + a bunch of submax jumps in the evening session -> basically the opposite of today (run focus, not vert focus).

i am really loving jumping in my xc900v2's as opposed to any of my other shoes.. they just feel flatter & stronger. haven't felt my "heel" get stressed with these shoes, so I think they are the safest shoes I have right now, that I can jump in, which aren't basketball shoes.

I think i'm going to order some xc700v3's just so I have a new extra-bouncy pair, maybe when I go to my favorite indoor gym. They are pretty cheap too now, $54.99.

correction: these are 700's.. not sure what the difference between 900's and 700's are.



I've been jumping in these recently:

- the first pair today, those are my newer ones
- the pink pair are my very broken in ones

I remember you saying how you didn't like high top shoes for jumping, but I think you were a two foot jumper before. You think that you would do fine with high tops for one foot jumping? It seems like there's little to no dorsiflexion when you jump off one, so high tops shouldn't be a problem.

yo!

Well, I just don't like basketball shoes at all; high, mid, or low. If I have to wear basketball shoes, they would be low.

Alot of it is mental, I just hate how they feel. Some of it is physical; they are heavy, slow me down, and I don't like how my ankle feels in them when I jump maximally.

Plus, how can I run, then get my jumps in? I have to wear shoes that are strong enough for both, but light/proper enough to run in. So, this kind of defaults me to jumping in running shoes (more preferably, XC flats).

You make a good point regarding dorsi-flexion.

The biggest concern with jumping in XC flats, that i've experienced, is your feet themselves. Much easier to injure your heel, plantar fascia, toenails etc when jumping in such light shoes. However, when I dunked with DLRVJ, I was so adapted to my nike zoom waffle racers (XC flats) that I never had any issues, and DLRVJ is arguably much more intense on the feet/ankles than SLRVJ when it comes to jumping - especially with my side plant that I had, which had alot of 'ankle rolling'.

One thing I have wondered about is, whether or not I would get up higher in basketball shoes (if I just stuck with them completely), since they are so much stronger. It's possible, but, since all of my major PR's have come in XC flats AND they feel SO MUCH better to me, I just don't feel the need to experiment with basketball shoes anymore.

I think the highest I ever jumped in basketball shoes was a 10'10 touch.. a few months later, though stronger/more explosive, I hit 11' in XC flats.. haven't turned back since.

I think it makes even more sense though, that SLRVJ in XC flats will be better than DLRVJ in XC flats. Just less time on the ground, less of an intense lateral plant, less ankle mobility required, etc.

The last factor is $$. XC flats are CHEAP. My Nike Zoom Waffle Racers used to cost me 29-39$. Right now, my NB XC900's cost me 49-59$.

Since i'm not playing basketball, just jumping (and eventually dunking), I just don't see the need for the extra support/heavyness of basketball shoes.

high tops are dead weight. why wear such a heavy shoe? that is the question.

x2

If I didn't have high tops on I'd feel like I was gonna rip my ankle off my leg and it'd hop away...never to return.

Also, on strava for that 10k challenge, some guy logged in a 106km run in like 5.5 hours.....I'm guessing he used a car or dirt bike lol

dammit, haven't slept yet. brain racing. brain-dumped a bunch of stuff into my ideas/notes files, did mockups etc.. brain won't calm down so, just going to stay up for now :/

Ayeeeee me too! I'm trying to reset my godawful sleep schedule so I'm only gonna sleep 4 hours in naps today and hopefully go to bed at a reasonable time that isn't in the 3-5am range. I always feel like my brain works optimally the 3-4 hours after an all-nighter before the fatigue sets in.

daaym. insomniac club. my brain is working good but it's starting to get tired. fatigue is setting in hard right now.

i'm such a night person, it's a battle to try and sleep every night before 3 AM.

how long have you been sleeping in the 3-5AM range?

I see. I actually bought a nike zoom lt streak 2's for jumping in 2014, which were track flats for sprinting I think, and they were actually really good. They didn't have much cushion and kept me low to the floor instead of having that mushy cushion that a lot of bball shoes have. They're completely worn out now though, so I've returned back to bball shoes. I may hop back onto these racing shoes soon though lol.
