Food7:30 AM

- banana
- plain english muffin
Session: Morning8:30 AM
- legs sooo snappy .. almost too snappy
warmup: felt really good
- easily hitting ~5:15 min/mi pace
run: 2.02 mi in 12:15
-
focused on a HARD first mile, and coast 2nd mile... brutal- proud of myself for finally doing this.
- splits: 5:30, 6:38
- started off way too fast, sub 5 for ~400m (early 4:30's) .. wanted to quit around ~0.5 mi (800m) -> drifted above 6 min/mi, then snapped out of it and got back under 5:50.. then coasted the 2nd mile, hitting > 7 min/mi, eventually getting it back under 6 min/mi
i need to get better at this stuff.. one of my theories is to basically try and PR a distance, and then keep going.. it's brutal mentally - even before I even attempt it.. Your brain knows better, so it's almost as if we have to figure out how to trick it.
One thing I want to try and do is PR my 1 KM then coast out the final 600m to hit a mile.. for example.
war.

WRECKED9:22 PM
- im absolutely freezing, have chills etc.. drank tons of cold fluids.. im like a chiuaua
note to self:-
updating through the day.-
consistency consistency .. consistency.-
stop being a pussy.-
forget about what you did earlier, the day before, the week before, the year before .. focus only on the current sessiongoals:- wakeup @ 5 AM
- improve:
-- 100m
-- 200m
-- 400m
-- 1 KM
-- 12 minute test
-- 5 KM
-- L-SLRVJ
-- half squat, half RDL, calf raises, BW upper
potential run protocols:- always warmup great
- very light stretching before
- light stretching after
- paced runs: pick a pace and hold it 100%
- hold-on-for-dear-life: pick a pace, try and maintain pace for as long as possible -> measure distance maintained
- 12-minute test
- 200, 400m, 1km, 1 mile repeats
- from salazar workouts slide:
-- 6 x mile repeats with 400m jog recovery
-- 20 x 200m, with or without jog recovery
-- 8-12 x 400m, with x-second (~60s) standing recovery
training:- finish 5k sessions with some ~150-200m max sprints
5k:- make miles 1 & 2 the same, instead of 2 & 3
- maximally sprint (~160m) at the end of every 5k (from 3.0 to 3.1) -> need to teach myself to always tap into every last MU
markers:- repeatable 1m:15s 400m's with ~1 minute rest in between
- max 400 under 60s
future contests:- 10/09/2016: would need to run ~18:30 5k to win
- 11/24/2016: would need to run ~16:30 5k to win
- 12/14/2016: would need to run ~4:40 mile (holiday 1-mile race) to win
cues:- POSTURE! RUN TALL!
- SHORT GCT
- WHEN TIRED, SHORT GCT + GET STRIDE FREQ BACK ON TRACK
- HOLD HANDS PROPERLY - RELAXED
- STAY RELAXED
warning:- ALWAYS WARMUP PROPERLY
- DO NOT OVERSTRETCH
- GET ENOUGH SLEEP
weird:- CREATE IMAGINARY RUNNING FRIENDS & RUN WITH THEM
how come?- HOW COME I CAN'T ADD ~20m A WEEK TO MY ~13+ MPH PACE?? :f
pre-run meals:-
theories:- Think "run beautiful" not "run hard"
-- ^^ has alot to do with how I strike the ground, breathe, don't tighten up, etc
- Really big gulping inhalations through the mouth, prior to a run, could help to get the lungs to wake up.
- Static (short-holds - 5-10s) stretching before running to help me relax, feel loose
- Less (good) fat / More carb = winning
