 Let's go. Oh Can't forget can't forget the checks can't forget the checks. Okay. Here we go We finally made it. All right. We just got to stay flexible I wasn't I guess I maybe I missed the boat on this But I wasn't positive that every single track in the entire state was shut down But it appears every single track is no longer Available for use at this point. Hopefully that changes sooner rather than later But we made it so what so I'm gonna pivot basically. I was gonna do 600 meter repeats on the track instead. I'm just gonna do Basically 90 second Surges here on the Platte River trail where I will be racing the DGR virtual race on Sunday this section of the course I'm very familiar with but I figure you know doesn't hurt to just familiarize myself a little bit more and I almost forgot So we are let's see where I five from Sunday four days out Let's see Wednesday. Yeah about four days out from the race and I did make a vlog seven months ago I just looked it up. I kind of spaced it. It's all about how to avoid sleepy legs in the taper so rather than repeat myself right now up a right hand corner If you want to go watch like how to make sure your legs are peppy and ready for that fast turnover on race day I made that vlog about seven months ago. You can go check that out. This workout today is part of that Process of keeping the legs nice and awake and ready to rock and roll on a race day on Sunday Okay, we're going for the warm-up in the pro vision fours And then I'll be back in about two and a half to three miles and toss on the next percent sound good sound good Oh man Flexibility it's key and I'm gonna talk about Arthur Lideard the coach from New Zealand who talks about this process of Just being well being flexible, but not being completely Restrictive I guess maybe is the word when you're trying to figure out the interval process for training Just being yeah, anyway, we'll get to that in the shooting. Okay. Let's lace up Hey, and we're back warm-up in the books. All right onto some strides getting those legs nice and happy snappy snappy snappy So Here's the deal I did not feel great on the warm-up like my legs were just a little probably I guess the best word is heavy I'm guessing it's from the 15 miler last week But then on on the strides. I started to feel a little better just a little better and then on the first interval They did the legs were like, uh-uh. This is not happening Marathon in four or five days. This is not gonna go down But Patience with your workouts. I've said it before By the third rep by the eye was life. It was beautiful. I was feeling good. The legs were responding to When I wanted to pick it up I could so anyway, just putting that out there overall Pleased with a six by six hundred baby workout. All right.

That's amazing drew Thank you for sending that as well and yes, we're gonna go inside and start making deposits into people's bank accounts today So remember those original nine people that were selected. So that's if you do the math That's 13,500 we have the money ready to go out. Um, and it's it's now is the time So we'll go inside and I'll take screenshots again trust but verify just to show you okay Now the money is going out to those original nine people I believe I've received emails back from all nine. I'll have to double check Um, but absolutely inspiring and then friday I'll get you the update on who on what the steps will be for the rest of the money Uh, because we'll have that final total divided by 1500 dollars sound good. Absolutely inspiring Okay, let's move on real quick to Arthur Liddy or the name that I mentioned at the car today. So he's a coach He's no longer with us, but I think he passed away in 2004 Or 2005 and he's from new zealand originally from new zealand And some people think his training philosophies are a little outdated or antiquated at this point But I do not he he is the coach that I look to for guidance in my training philosophies Okay, Arthur Liddyard and in this book, um, I don't have it out here But uh, he talks about a story where a newspaper man Showed up at the track to do an interview and to watch a workout with one of his athletes from new zealand I believe that the name was richard taylor and he was training for he was a 10 000 meter national champion Way, so this is back in like the 1960s way back in the day Um, maybe even before that for richard taylor, but I think in the 1960s And basically the newspaper man turns to Liddyard and says, uh, what are the splits? So he was doing taylor was doing a 400 meter workout on the track and he says, you know, what what splits are Is this uh athlete running and Liddyard turns to the newspaper man and says, I have no clue I don't know and frankly to me it doesn't even matter because Liddyard was standing there and he could hear The breathing of richard taylor. He knew that taylor was going into oxygen debt Was plunging the ph levels of his blood low enough just simply by listening to the breathing of richard taylor and I tell you that story because today Uh, the track was closed, right because of the corona virus And so I had to pivot to the to the plat river trail which worked out actually is going to work out well because that's where i'm doing the the dgr virtual marathon on sunday and So I tell you that story because I think interval training like my approach And I think sometimes so much emphasis from coaches or training plans can be placed on interval training and really precise distances and times that you have to hit to the point where athletes can feel very nervous and anxious about these workouts where they actually they don't perform at their highest level or Even become like almost I I remember Back, yeah, I remember athletes almost getting sick and like almost throwing up because they felt so nervous about their workouts Whether it was 800 meter repeats or mile repeats or whatever the case may be So if if a national champion like a 10,000 meter national champion can go out on a track and do splits that don't even exist Meaning arthur Liddyard wasn't even timing this add this richard taylor I think we can take that as a lesson for me. I take it as a lesson that you know what? I'm gonna go like today. I ran 90 seconds for the first Interval I ran almost two minutes for the second one and I ran around a minute 45 for the last four Why because I forgot to look at my watch. I wasn't on a track. I was just running. Yes, you know by feel Okay, so that's why I'm always saying I go by feel and I think tomorrow I'm gonna break down how I believe I have been able to train myself over the past 18 months, okay From a one hour and 12 minutes half marathon to a one hour and seven minutes half marathon Okay, so we'll break that down tomorrow if that sounds good But I just wanted to share that story with you about arthur Liddyard to just give you a little bit of um peace When it comes to interval training peace. All right, have peace. I have peace out there. All right, everyone Uh vlog is not over. We're going inside making those deposits. I will get you the question of the day Inside let's go Can't forget can't forget the checks can't forget the checks. Okay, here we go Okay, there we go. So I sent out as many as I could today.
