Run: Easy Previous Next

Stop it. You are two weeks removed from a marathon, nothing will feel right. Working on faster cadence is probably good because yours is super slow but it isn't going to happen all at once and won't feel good. Ask any of us who have worked on it. We should leave no runs either super psyched or super discouraged. . My opinion you should just be running freely right now, maybe working on this stuff but mostly just enjoying running.

Come February if you aren't where you want you can beat yourself up.

That 180 crap is for short people. I only hit 180 @ MP or better.

Yeah - thought it would be as easy as downloading the metronome on my ipod and just go out and do it - not. Will keep plugging away at it. Gonna try to not let it steal my joy. I still get to do what I love.... Damn short people!

More seriously for a second, I know what Salty used to do was figure out what his cadence was, let's say 160 for you. He would first start the metronome at like 164 and train to that. Then a week later to 166, etc. It makes sense, it's a huge change in form and muscle memory that can be eased into rather than taken all at once. I know I had a hard time with the metronome, all different muscles. A little like the advice people give to ease into barefoot running or minimal shoes. $.02.

Hmm - interesting idea. I can't set the one I have, but i'm sure I can find one that can be set. Tnx for the idea.

Short people feed you MFers in the post.Who's going to take the ball up the floor against the press?You?You giant bastards who put the ball on the floor once in the post & get stripped or lose it OOB? Holding the ball over your giant heads only works for so long.Short people? Pfft. You like short people when they are sitting next to you on long flights, when you have money on a horse, or when you drop something behind the couch and your giant arms & hands get in such tight spaces. Pfft

This made me laugh. Sorry. I like tall people. They're good at rebounding and setting screens.

yeah - give me the good ol' days when us bigs dominated.... Once a banger, always a banger, Hey, if ya ever want someone to show your ugglies around the rim this winter, let me know. Got some great big guy drills for kids that want to play back to the rim!
