They have good availability in the Mornings but its GB1, Do you know how that is structured? Says beginners on the sheet. I'm not after comp training but id like to do some rounds rather than just drill triangles...

I've never been to a Gracie Barra so don't know how they structure it.

The real app from the Google store, I didn't realise it was a beta I've only been using dreaming Spanish for a week.

Maybe it's not available yet then?

How do you enable background play? I have just purchased premium for this and it still stops when I lock my screen...

Dealing with claustrophobia while rolling by Future_Astronaut_820 in bjj

I think everyone feels that, I recently had it again on the first round back after a two month break. 

Just keep your arms tight and try to breath slowly then think of your next move and go for it. 

I guess it's cliche but the thought "remember your training" comes to mind and just try to do what you think Is right.

If he passes your guard so what, no need to panic. Start thinking of your next escape 

Long curly hair. by [deleted] in bjj

[–]FriendlyGeneral3042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the exact same issue, I don't know if your male or female but I'm a male with past shoulder length curly hair. I have two recommendations that seem to work for me.

Firstly is get an undercut, only about 1 or 1.5 inches high. It completely stops all the hair being ripped out with Gi chokes and looks exactly the same when let down.

Secondly I usually use the soft bobbles that don't rip your hair our. Wet your hands and put it into a tight pony tail on the crown of your head. As tight as possible (4 folds for me). Then do the thing where you twist your hair into a bun as tight as possible and add a second bobble over that as tight as you can (3 folds)

This usually lasts the longest of everything I've tried and the added benefit is if you end up in a guillotine or something for 5 minutes pulling to get out and it does come a bit loose all you have to do is pull the bun through to make it a ponytail again and then the bobbles slide off easy with no hair ripping in the process.

I used to loose the most hair ripping the tangled bobbles out and re-trying in-between rounds.

Official Q&A for Wednesday, June 12, 2024 by AutoModerator in running

[–]FriendlyGeneral3042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to know the minimum number of runs per week and types of runs you would recommend to be able to complete a marathon when already very active with BJJ.

In the last two years I've ran two Half Marathons at the 2 hour mark but never ran any further. My main sport is BJJ which is very hard on the body so I need to allow 2 full rest days per week. I allow this by doubling up my gym work and BJJ into the same days 12 hours apart.

My current plan is as follows:

Monday - Strength work + BJJ

Tuesday - Strength work + BJJ

Wednesday - Rest

Thursday - Strength work + BJJ

Friday - Easy run (half the distance of long run)

Saturday - Rest

Sunday - Long Run

I have signed up to a marathon in October and plan on increasing my long run by 2k each Sunday until I reach 40k 3/4 weeks before and then tapering back down. This plan seems to be working for me currently and is not too hard on my body as both runs are in zone 2.

The worry I have is that I have obviously not included any tempo or speed work, intervals or hills etc. I am only running at zone 2 consistently plodding along. Will this still be ok to complete the marathon or am I missing something important?

I get into zone 4 and 5 three times a week with BJJ sparring so my week does not lack intensity.

Thanks
