5K Descent

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 [...]

Four Websites Worth Checking Out

Jonathan Wyatt: When it comes to mountain running, Wyatt is a name feared among other runners.  If your finish, 10 behind Wyatt (10mins behind him) you are considered an excellent runner!

Sports Fitness Advisor: If you want any information with exercise, checkout this site!  They have piles or workouts and great scientific backround on many [...]

The Perfect Drink

 

Here is a funny word: Osmolarity.  If your a science nerd chances are you’ve heard of it.  Osmolarity is basically how much solute (think salt) is in a give liter of solvent  (think water).   So ocean water would have a higher osmalarity level compared to lake water.

Do a quick search for “fast” in google and you will have more than 725 million websites to [...]

Back 2 Back…

After a weekend of racing, I’ve given my body sometime to recover.  As you’ve probably read from the previous posts, I had a decent outing at the races(except my swimming!).  I’ve heard my name mentioned as the “new guy” but also in the same sentence “who can’t swim”.

To defend myself, I say if [...]

Believe in the System!

In order to tune up for my ½ marathon coming up in 2 weeks from today, ‘coach’ had me sign up for a 10km charity race on Saturday, May 9th called “Run for Kenya.” It was being put on by a school in [...]

Still Truckin’

So even though I have been absent from LMS for a little while, I am still on the training wagon. I am now 3 weeks out from my 1st race of the season, a ½ marathon during the Ottawa Race Weekend. So I decided in the fall that after I completed my last [...]
