Today is Tuesday

Perfect running temps this morning made for a delightful 13.5K run.

1 mile warm up, 10 x 2mins hills (up and down) and 1 mile cool down.

After a weekend with no running, I managed to carve out a half an hour after work today. Great temperature for it, 19˚C. I think I'm fighting off a cold, so I hope this will help…

In preparation for XC season, the Tuesday speed sessions have now moved to trails. Today was a step-ladder (10 hard, 10 easy, 20 hard, 20 easy, out to 100 and back) but my legs are going to need a few more days to recover from the marathon so I kept it very gentle at the back of the pack. 10K or so done.

I do like this workout. I'm going to steal it.

Just short of 9k, turned into a craft beer run, one of our gals is heading off for a six week vacation so we had to toast her departure

What are the units? Metres? Minutes?

(Its Ian's workout so 'metres' is not crazy)

Part of my running comeback is to be more defiant. Today it was "f*** you, thick cloud of smoke hanging over Calgary". I ended up with a decent 4-5k run, first time I've run two days in a row in forever. Plus I inadvertently drew a dick, so I've got that going for me.

4 miles outside! Nice cooler evening run.

Steps, hence the phrase step-ladder rather than just ladder. More specifically, the steps are counted only on one side. The sets of 100 steps take just over a minute and the entire workout is about 25 minutes.

I like that! no watch-watching either which is nice.

I tried it out today and really enjoyed it. I'm going to use it with my cross country team this fall.
