Shifting Gears

July 27, 2007 by Bryon Powell · Leave a Comment 

Last night, I depressed the clutch of a standard car for the first time ever. Coming home from an errand, a friend pull into a church parking lot rather than in front of my house to park. Although she’d said nothing about teaching me to drive stick, I knew when she parked the car that [...]

Flyin' Bryon

July 25, 2007 by Bryon Powell · 2 Comments 

I’ve only got time for a short post, but here goes. I’ve been short on time the past couple days, which I’ve dealt with by running hard three of those four days. I was pretty sore come Monday after running most of Sunday’s 12 mile run at a moderately quick pace. What probably got me [...]

If Only Haddn't Gone Faster

July 17, 2007 by Bryon Powell · Leave a Comment 

My past two workouts, I’ve not adhered to my Hadd plan. Last Tuesday I felt like crap running my sub 165 effort. After stints of two miles and one mile at 165 effort, I threw in the towel… only to do the WRC’s track workout in it’s entirety. As noted earlier, that workout was a [...]

Brief Training Update

July 15, 2007 by Bryon Powell · 2 Comments 

Holy Cow, I ran a 50 mile week without a race. Ok, so my week wasn’t all that impressive, but a step in the right direction for a number of reasons. First, I ran every day. I need to keep that up (or close to it) for a couple more weeks. Second, I ran 55 [...]

Hadd Mini-Test 2 [Updated 7/15]

July 13, 2007 by Bryon Powell · Leave a Comment 

Folks, I’m just back from the track and headed out to two shindigs this evening, but this is progress. Tonight, I ran my second Hadd mini-test and while I feel that my training’s been shit, I’m improved my performance significantly with 20+ second gains at 160, 170, and 180 bpm efforts. It’s worth noting that [...]

Did I Mention That I'm Crazy?

July 13, 2007 by Bryon Powell · Leave a Comment 

Ok, what follows is a stream off consciousness response to Loomis‘s comment in response to my previous post regarding the application of the conception of proprioception to a bipedal robot: [I'd love to think about this and clean it up some, but that ain't likely gonna happen] “Loomdog, I thought you’d appreciate the article. This [...]

Propriocepticons

July 12, 2007 by Bryon Powell · 2 Comments 

“Alex, what are robots with proprioception?” This article reminds me of a chat about proprioception I had with teammate/clubmate Greg Loomis over the winter. Ok, so our talk in no way involved robots, but it stuck with me nonetheless. I think it’s that they’re using proprioception’s local sensor/local neural loop model to avoid the complexity [...]

Oh, Woe is Me, My Life Is So Hard

July 12, 2007 by Bryon Powell · Leave a Comment 

So after work tonight, I have to go to some swanky Asian-Latin fusion restaurant for an “optional” dinner with the other associates at The Firm. They’re all good folk and the food is sure to be great, but the weather is great, too. Truth be told, I’d rather go home and run a workout. Oh [...]

Weak Weeks/Feeling the Heat/Depression

July 10, 2007 by Bryon Powell · 2 Comments 

To start, after a few good training weeks, my two previous running weeks have been awful. I think I missed three days two weeks ago and am pretty sure that I missed four last week, including three in a row this week. Sure, I had stuff going on, but that’s no excuse. I’ve made time [...]
