One of my latest ambitions is tackling a 50K trail race on about 10 weeks of training. Most people’s first thought is, are you nuts? The second is, how do you train for this? My longest run has been 42kms which included some street and some trails. I’ve done a 35km tempo run, yes [...] Anyone going to Magog, for the Triathlon National Long Course? If so, please email me! Magog Triathlon - Sketch music. Not liking that there is no wetsuits! Don’t forget to sign-up for your races! They may fill up… It’s interesting when someone says “I want to run XX:XX time”. Outside qualifying for Boston, it really doesn’t mean anything. Yes it is a goal but it’s not like predicting a time will determine your outcome. How will you know what your legs will feel like? What happens if the weather changes? Or [...] Goal for 2011? I think so! The Long Course Canadian National Triathlon will take place in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. I’m thinking mountain chalet with a few days of riding afterwards; Dad you in? Most people probably don’t think of racing as an investment. It’s more about the goal than the actual reward. What about the people who do win races. Are they only entering a race based on the prize or some other factor? A relization this year is, at the base pro/amateur level, running pays [...] I sat down to watch the race when the guys were 90 miles through the bike (girls at 80). Here’s a recap of what happened in the 3.5 hours that followed. Ate supper while I watched Chris Lieto and Julie Diebens, looking like twins with their exact same bikes and gear, pedal away [...] Placed third overall in a half marathon this morning here in London. I wanted to just get a running tour of the city so I signed up for this race last week. It ended up being better than I though as I earned some cash for my troubles! http://www.chiptimeresults.com/resultsreader.php?y=2010&r=springbankH.htm I had been looking forward to this race for a long time: Bridgetown Long Course (Swim: 2K, Bike: 94K and Run 20K). At Christmas time I asked my parents if they minded me coming back to the farm; both to paint their house (no problem with that) and to do the race. After taking [...] This was the most popular post last year, with the chatter about Lances return. So, whose going to win the Tour? Take the stages? Crash? Overrated? Let’s talk! Race: Tinman Triathlon Location: Tupper Lake, New York Distance: 1.9K swim, 90K bike and 21.5K Run Description: Swim was in a lake with a rectangular buoy line. Bike was rolling with good pavement conditions. Run was hilly for the first 5 miles then relatively flat (mix of pavement and trail). Conditions: Cool and [...] Before this year, I ran at least 60 kms a week. My reasoning was I thought there was a hypothetical minimum number I needed to keep my “base” but also allow me to continue progressing as a runner. There wasn’t much science behind this and it’s showing. Enter 2010 and the biggest running week I’ve done all year is 60 [...]  |
