Base Week 1 - Wednesday - 6 Mile Run

AM: 6 mile run, easy intensity.

Course: Richmond Ave/Staten Island Mall Course (slightly hilly).

Overall Time: 56:52 (9:29 min.mile pace).

Weather: Light rain, Very warm, light wind.


Started this run at 4:50 in the morning as the rain woke me up pretty early today. The run felt great! The rain was actually nice as the temperature was quite warm for this time of year.

The bike that I planned for today might be a quiestion mark as I need to repair the rear brakes on my mountain bike with parts that my bike shop doesn't have. If the bike doesn't go, I might either run again or swim at night, or take the rest of the day off.

For the week: 3000 meters of swimming, 10 miles of cycling, and 11 miles of running.

Original Framework for 2011 Season

The 2011 season will have see 2 -3  100 mile ultramarathons. The one in May is the Massanutten 100, and hope to be in good base shape when I toe the line. I am not sure if I'm doing Vermont again, but I placed it into the framework just in case. My decision will depend on how the training works out.  The big "A" race has got to be the Leadville 100, The Race Across The Sky. This race absolutely scares the wits out of me because of the high altitude (10,000 ft+ in most places). I have got to be in pristine shape if I am to ever finish this race. Throw in a Double Ironman in October and a few other ultras and here is the overall framework for the season: (it's a bit hard to see from here, but click on the picture to see it more clearly) I have two sets of 4-week Base mesocycles in the beginning to adapt and set a good base, after which I start to build on that base for three mesocycles. This should put me on pretty good shape to tackle Massanutten. The longer Overdistan...

The Psychology of the Media - It's Been Refined

When I have some free time, usually at the end of the day, I tend to look at what the outside world is up to, especially the mainstream media. And I'm fascinated how they can frame their stories to come up with a narrative to get a lot of people to behave a certain way and to act on it. Before starting to consume this media, you must keep in your head a couple of things:     1) Media can exaggerate, or even lie, about topics, and      2) Media is trying to get you to act a certain way. They mostly do this through emotions and feelings So one needs to take whatever the media says with a grain of salt. That is all media, by the way, even those articles from a favorable website you need a bit of caution on. What I usually do is, after reading the article, step back and ask the questions, "what is this article compelling people to do?", "how is it framed and what emotion does it elicit. Let me give you an example. This has been going on for weeks now, soon after the...

About That Jab: I'm Not Responsible For Your Health. That Was Always YOUR Responsibility

   So, I'm supposed to take the  #vaccine  if I care about other people. A recent Forbes article says that 8 in 10 people hospitalized with the  #Covid19   #virus  is overweight or obese. They put themselves in that group because of POOR LIFE CHOICES. Apparently, our calls of practicing good diet and  #exercise  were lost on these people. And now that their  #health  is failing, they demand us healthy people take an untested, experimental jab with who-knows-what in it so that they feel safe. Sorry. For YEARS we Personal Trainers have warned you of the consequences of eating too much fast food, not exercising at all, allowing yourself to tip the scales at 300+ pounds. So no, your health is not our responsibility. It was always yours. You can still take personal responsibility and take care of your health. It's never too late. https://www. forbes.com/sites/carlieporterfield/2021/03/08
