wasn't going to mention this here but it looks legit.. AND, I wasn't gunning for a PR, I was tagging along with someone who was running a hard mile.. so that's pretty awesome.

1-mile PR: 5:18.9 (-0.9s)

was listening to an interview with dana carvey last night (garth from wayne's world). apparently he ran 4:27 in high school and still kills himself running, like pushing pulse to 190 doing hills and shit. he's 61. beast.

hah wtf?!? sick. Sounds like we need to put a thread about him in the running section.. he definitely comes off as someone who has insane energy.

didn't know about williams.. Also Bernie looks amazingly healthy/energetic/younger lately. Maybe he's out there running mile repeats post-election.

wow my last PR post was December 2016.. such a fail. 

legit walking PR's from today .. worth noting!

walk:
- 9.17 mi in 2h:16m:xxs
- only walked the first 4 miles hard, which ended up being a PR .. really pushed it. Last 5 miles I just relaxed.
- 3 consecutive sub 13 miles 
- 4.58 mi in 1 hour 
- actually a few more PR's:
- walking 5k interval: 39:54  , sub 40
- walking 3 mi: 38:30 
- had I kept pushing it, I was on my way to finally hitting 9 mi in 2 hours... that'd be a major walking PR.
- lots of leg power it seems, good sign.

major walking PR! 9.1 miles in 2 hours - 4.55 mph.

http://www.adarq.org/progress-journals-experimental-routines/adarq's-journal/msg134091/#msg134091



evening walking PR attempt!
- goal: 9 miles in 2 hours - i've never done this before .. tried, but failed a few times
- results: 9.1 miles in 2 hours 
- https://www.endomondo.com/users/26420622/workouts/987164257
- https://www.strava.com/activities/1144094673
- tons of PR's, most notably:
-- most 12:XX's in a row (4) 
-- 9.1 miles in 2 hours 
-- 4.68 miles in one hour as part of one of the segments of the total walk 

 

- this was really difficult TBH.. I didn't look to see if I had any chance until I got to mile 8 .. I mean, I knew my splits were good and that i'd have ~14-16 minutes probably for mile 9, so once I hit mile 8, I was basically exactly at 1:45:00, so 15 minutes left.. so I knew I had it but wanted to get in some extra, hence the 1.1 instead of 1.

- I was completely drenched, head to toe .. maintaining that kind of pace while walking is pretty rough.
- legs/body felt amazing during the walk
- legs/body feel amazing after, but starting to tighten up a bit
- left shin feeling it a little right now
- felt my left PF/foot issue for pretty much the entire walk .. it's "light" but still, not good feeling that.









major PR for me tbh ... i've never been able to do that .. so it either means I just tried harder, or i'm actually seeing some cardiovascular improvements + hip/leg strength improvements. I'll go more with the latter IMHO.

breathing wise it's actually not easy .. you can definitely feel yourself sucking in some air at times.. and by mile 8, I was having a hard time staying completely straight lmao.. i was wobbling a bit from fatigue I think, and also closing my eyes on occasion, just was getting tired.

the best part of cardio tho, is rehydrating afterwards. it's literally the best feeling on earth. I had:
- protein + milk
- water w/ lemon
- coconut water
- all put in the freezer for like 15 minutes so it was ice cold
- straight up bliss

- also, like usual, over that distance I lost 6 lb. water.
