This is so awful. I hope everyone on here and their loved ones are all okay. My heart goes out to those in Boston.

PM me. Looking to transfer my bib.

I've been hit with a bad work schedule and bad colds x 2 which has nuked my training this past 1.5 months. Pulling out of ATB. Boo.

Way to go! I like how all that extra mileage ultra training pays off.

You ran 80km this morning!!!! Wow!!!

I often seen people who have heart palpitations (I'm in my last year of my general cardiology fellowship). Usually the cause is benign, but they can be a big nuisance. Try to make note of (and avoid) common stressors that trigger them: - caffeine - alcohol - stress - reduced sleep quality/quantity I...

Run strong everyone! Looking forward to reading some race reports tomorrow!

Good luck on the race!

On my run home from work today, I was nearly home and saw a pedestrian coming down the sidewalk in the opposite direction. Being that the clear part of the sidewalk wasn't very wide, I took a tangent to yield the cleared part for them. So I ran diagonally across a grassy (but snow covered) section t...

Ran 4.5k to work today. Will be running back later this evening, followed by some time on the trainer and some weights.

I had been making gains for about 8 months with volume. Went from a 1:56 half, to a 1:36 half in about 9 months.

Got injured when I started doing speedwork too often, and when I had started running twice a day.

Je ne sais pas. Je ne parle pas becoup de francais et ne veux pas utilizer la traductrice de Google.



9k commuting run.

core weight workout

1hour on bike trainer

bon soir mes amis.

You should do some road races if you can run 5k comfortably in 19 minutes. You'd place very well, and the added rush of racing against people will only make you go faster. Breathing rates are different for everyone, depending on what kind of a workout they are doing. I breathe about 1 breath every 7...

cool. will keep an eye out for it.

Snow snow snow in Calgary! Glad I rode my bike yesterday.

Plan: Run commute to work (5k each way). Thank goodness I don't need to drive.

Well done Hammie! I'll have to meet everyone in the Calgary crew sometime.

I may be in the same boat as you this year, as I don't plan on doing a full marathon until late 2011. My opinion: If you want to really run it as an "A" race, then consider using a "personal best" type 18-week (starts next week!) marathon training plan. - you could trim shorter r...

Wow! Nicely done on the 6th k!

I agree that gradually working back into the speedwork is the way to go. I'm happiest if I only do speed work or intervals once a week.

Day off running today.

Commuted to work via bike today:
1) to keep loose
2) big snow storm predicted tonight - gotta squeeze in 1 last good ride

Might do some light core weights if I'm feeling up to it before bed time.

Well done, did you have wings on those racers ? Dave Sure felt like I was flying! :D Fantastic! Your on your way to the 1:30 target. I got to get me some flats! I don't have a basis for comparison (last half was a year ago) - whether it was all physical or psychological at that, but boy did I feel ...

Thanks all!

Turd (man that feels inappropriate calling you that) - We should try to meet up with Hammie to do some winter runs, that way we won't be all strangers! Any other maniacs in town?

Last Chance Half Marathon today. Report is up!

21.1km run.

I gave in to peer pressure and used the racing flats.

Luckily it was good peer pressure. Super light. No pain. Feel great after. New PB!

Race report is up!
