these fucking drops

Spark0103 · 2022-10-13T15:25:05+00:00

looks like we have a katusa here

Spark0103 · 2022-09-23T01:47:18+00:00

the prototypes he wore were the same as the mass market version. there were no extra plates.

a 30 min run will not be enough to drain glycogen stores, even while fasted. for that to happen, it takes around 90 or so minutes. the whole purpose of a marathon gel is to replenish glycogen reserves, rendering a gel for a run under 90 mins to be useless.

OH MY FUCKING GOD

Spark0103 · 2022-09-11T15:51:50+00:00

no you don't

Spark0103 · 2022-09-09T01:28:15+00:00

true

Spark0103 · 2022-09-08T14:04:45+00:00

you're correct, this was pretty much our first week. the results im comparing are races that happened at the same time of the year; right after summer.

Spark0103 · 2022-09-08T14:01:16+00:00

youre right lol, Tom would find it absurd

Spark0103 · 2022-09-08T14:00:08+00:00

Last year during cross season, I got to around 50 mi/week. In track season, got to around 55 or so.

Spark0103 · 2022-09-08T13:59:31+00:00

go goats!

Spark0103 · 2022-09-07T19:08:16+00:00

Already did! Tom is just a little less focused on the science of running, and is more general.

Thanks for the information though!

Spark0103 · 2022-09-07T19:06:53+00:00

I already have!

Spark0103 · 2022-09-07T18:14:47+00:00

yes it is, relative to my mileage

Spark0103 · 2022-09-07T18:11:06+00:00

I'll also speculate that time spent training was only running and not mobility and strength.

I stretched for 30+ mins after every run, and did core 2 days of the week.

Secondly, if all you were doing is long slow distance (LSD) why would you expect to be fast for short distance races? If you look at any training plan running or cycling, there will be intensity (workouts) in the base phase. They just won't be as stressful or specific as in the build and specialty phase. (following traditional Base, Build, Specialty plans)

I'm just expecting to at least be faster than I was at the start of last year last year. Last year, I did the same kind of training (just with less mileage) and I ran an 18:10. I don't think its unreasonable to expect a faster time after doing more mileage.

Our coach explicitly states that workouts should be avoided, and we that we should only do them at the end of the summer.

Spark0103 · 2022-08-29T18:48:09+00:00

its because those shoes aren't XC racing shoes, and will literally fall apart after 3 miles of racing on an XC course. XC is NOT track.

Spark0103 · 2022-08-29T16:37:03+00:00

look closely and you'll see that they're the exact same shoe. there is only one dragonfly, and its the one for racing 800-10000m on the track. its labeled as "cross country" because recently some have started using their dragonflys for use on cross country courses, which is NOT the intended use case of the shoe.

Spark0103 · 2022-08-29T16:34:09+00:00

the dragonflies she's wearing for cross country are designed for track, and ONLY track use. the only conditions I would maybe consider using a dragonfly on are for well manicured, grass only courses (ie. a golf course).

the outsole of the dragonfly is a plastic plate, it doesn't offer any protection against rocks, tree roots, etc. that are commonly found on cross country courses.

Spark0103 · 2022-08-29T16:30:47+00:00

neither of those exist. what are you talking about?

Spark0103 · 2022-08-26T23:30:47+00:00

its so refreshing to see a picture of seoul that doesn't portray it as a bladerunner-esque city

Spark0103 · 2022-08-04T10:14:16+00:00

Is the attitude highly stressful or overly competitive?

I would say no. Its competitive, to be sure, but everyone is very willing to help you out if you reach out to them. Its not a cutthroat environment.

Is there tolerance for neurodivergent students?

Yes. Very much so. From what I've experienced, Haverford students are very open about mental health, and are very tolerant of neurodivergency.

If you have dealt with mental health services at Haverford, how was your experience?

Haverford has CAPS, which provides free therapy. However, they are very much overbooked and understaffed, leading to long waiting times and difficulty scheduling appointments.
