Have a couple of niggles. Though I want to get my mileage up, I will following the guideline of "if it were your friend what advice would you give them?" and stick with cross training for today #run #runner #running


As a science teacher I must say that running training is essentially the scientific method on steroids #run #running #runners


Oasis Zoo Run 10K! Placed 44/2200+ overall, 6/179 age group, and sooo close to a 10K PB even though the course was challenging and I had an injury setback during training. Pics and more race details in the blog post! #run #runner #running localclassrunner.wordpress.com/2022/09/17/rac…


Been a while since posting here! A glute injury limited my training for a number of weeks, but I'm finally running pain-free again. Bad timing though as I have a 10K race in just 2 weeks 😩. Today was my first long run in a while! #run #running #runners #runchat

Got a jolt of energy during this morning's run when crossing paths with another runner and giving each other the wave 👋🏻🏃🏻‍♂️ #running #runners #runchat


I'm finding that cancelling a planned training run for a little extra needed recovery is incredibly difficult... I need to better learn to associate my progress with how my body FEELS as opposed to mileage hit. #running #runners #runchat


Finally! My first race! Quarter marathon in 45:53 for an average of 4:21/km pace. Placed 12/243 overall and 4/32 in the M30-39 category. For more thoughts/stats, see my new blog: localclassrunner.wordpress.com/2022/07/23/dqm… #iloverunning #runner #runchat

Workout: 4 x (400, 800, 1200) with 1 minute rest between reps. Hit my goal pace or under for every rep except the final 1200. First couple of 4s and 8s were way under pace and likely sabotaged the latter end of the workout. Good feedback though. #run #running #runners #runchat


Happy Canada Day!! 🇨🇦 Did 18K easy pace. Here's my typical post morning run breakfast. #run #running #runners #runchat

Four hours of gardening followed by 20K run. The weather forecast failed mebadly. Said it would be clear skies but it drenched me for the first 10K. Shoes got soaked and lost their responsiveness making for some sore feet 🙁. #run #runners #running #runchat
