Sunday was the Highalnd Games 10k in Fergus, 212 runners and seemed like a pretty fast field for a smaller race. Definitely some quality runners in the field. I had a goal and a race plan, the goal 46:xx, the plan 3k at a comfortable pace, 3k a bit faster somewhat uncomfortable, 3k pushing it, then ...

Anyone following the ENDURrun?? 7 races in 8 days, 160km total.

Rest day today, see Race Reports later in the day for my Fergus 10k Report.

Way to go Erin, I was looking for you and your sister but I didn't see anyone that matched your description. We also sat and watched the Heavy Events, and the Massed bands in the rain too, it was a great day. I'll post my report tomorrow.....

little mini tempo 5k today, up to race pace and then slow back down, I'm feeling pretty good, had to hold back a bit. I feel ready for tomorrow's 10k race.

I'm going to run like I hate the ground...... just rip it up.

How about....

Bman, I wanna see you run a race with that big brim girlie visor, that would be hilarious....

What about long sleeves? Anyone interested in these, it's hot out now, but that Canadian winter will be here before to long. but then you can wear a different long-sleeved shirt under your RM shirt so that the logo isn't hidden. lol How about long sleeved RM tech shirt, with RunningMania.com down t...

no running today, but did a hour or so yoga class. Anyone else do yoga? I find it great for stretching out the ankles, calfs, hips and hams.

The Orange one and the White one both look great.

It's cmoing along nicely, good work.

I'm also training for an October Marathon, and I have a 10k race this weekend, I'm gunning for about 46:00 and I did a taper, but I also moved my LSD from Sunday to Saturday to give my body a little extra time to recover. Then during the week I've done a speed and a tempo day a little shorter then n...

Yeah I guess $20 is a lot better then to show up as a John Doe, I may look into this, as I do all my long runs alone.

mostly they don't understand.... why or how I would want to run for that long.

I just answer simply ... 'Because.'

Enjoy,
Rob

Did a bit of a tempo with hills run today 1k warm up, 4k at about 4:45/k, 1k cool down. It was a lot tougher then it usually is, I feel like I'm working hard but not moving very fast. I'm starting to worry about my 10k race this weekend in Fergus. It's the first 10k that I've actually trained for, u...

That's what I generally do too, where I run I can't go 1/2 km without some type of incline.

Here is a wee blurp I found about hills. Hill Repeats It's rare that you find a great distance runner who didn't get fast by training on hills. Kenyans and Ethiopians all train on hills. I find that hill training is one of the best workouts that you can do. It provides great stimulus to the cardiore...

I did some speed work today, 2k warmup, 1-800, 2-200, 1-400, 2-200, 6-100 trying to mini taper for 10k race this weekend. This is the worest speed work session I had in a long time, I had no gas in the tank for the 400. I did have hard training week last week. Hopefully I'm just recovering and this ...

If your only plan is to finish then Yah go for it. You sound like you have the mileage in, and if you are attempting a 1:32 Half then you definitely have some good power.

Go for it. Good Luck.

Nice Report Jacob!! Great Race!

You are one step cloer to your Elite Runner dream.
