Re: Slept-in Sunday

I did a 10 km run on some local trails I hadn't explored before. I also found a spooky tunnel under the expressway. :shock:

Re: Time for Tuesday!

I started week 16 of training with an 8 km easy run today. My left calf started getting sore about 6.5 km in; I think it's still feeling Sunday's long run.

Re: What is a marathon pace run supposed to feel like?

Based on the other results you list, only your 5K time says 3:30 is realistic, IMO. Your other times point at 3:45-4:00 being more likely. If I were you, I'd go out at 5:20 and speed up after 32 if you can. Don't make any decisions till after that point- 21.1 is DEFINITELY not the halfway point of ...

Re: Racing Sunday!

32K long run in 2:55. This was my last really long run before Toronto Waterfront. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, and I wish I hadn't worn long sleeves. My hip was a bit sore throughout, but I made it, and now it's an afternoon of relaxing and watching football.

Re: What is a marathon pace run supposed to feel like?

This is a question I've been thinking about (a lot) lately. I'm running in Toronto on the 16th, and my long run pace averages around 5:30/km, while my "race pace" is about 5:00/km. My personal best time is just over four hours. My taper begins after today's long run, but I just don't know ...

Re: Where's Wednesday?

Ran 11km this morning in 60 minutes. I hope construction season is over soon; I'm getting tired of zigzagging across roads to get around sidewalk repairs. :roll:

Re: Sunday is here!

Ran my first 10k race this morning. Time was 48:49, which was better than I was expecting, even better than I hoped for. I even got a bronze medal in my age category (... actually finished 6th, but the top three overall were in the male 30-34 group :D )

Nice cool run this morning. My back was killing me this morning after lugging a wood stove up from my basement yesterday. Still ran 11.7 km in 60 minutes ... and felt great doing it!

Re: Long Weekend Friday

Holy humidity! I ran 11 km this morning, but it was not an easy run. Fortunately, I found the one hour window between pouring rain in which to run. Not that I would have minded a little bit of rain to cool things down.

Wow, that's a good deal. Borden is a bit far for me, and I'm still leaning towards Goodlife, but it's very interesting. :)

I ran my first 5K race in June, and I'm working on getting into some longer distance running. I run three times a week, and I ran 18 km for the first time y...
