| Track workout warm up/down 29:00 [2] | |
| |
| Including the jog between reps. |
| Skate skiing 1:00:00 [3] | |
| ahr:132 |
| With SPD Turner and dogs. I'm starting to get bored of the dog trail. I hear that they're thinking of expanding it next year. Still awesome snow conditions and even the frostnip isn't so bad. |
Saturday Feb 2 |
| Skate skiing 1:30:00 [1] | |
| |
| Skied the dog trail x5 then outer loop of main trails. I was pretty cold by the end. |
Friday Feb 1 |
| Track workout intervals 16:00 [4] | |
| |
| Managed to sneak up to the track before heading to work. Usual 4x4' routine. I think I'm allergic to something there because I always start sneezing about an hour after I leave. Probably just the hard work... |
| Track workout warm up/down 21:00 [2] | |
| |
| Bowl of cereal didn't sit well during this workout. |
| Skate skiing 40:00 [1] | |
| |
| Again, sneaked out to the dog trail with Anita, after my work and before hers. Still cold but much better glide today. 4 laps. |
| Skate skiing 1:23:00 [3] | |
| |
| Pretty solid ski with Pat and the dogs. We did four laps then did an outer loop of the trails including Sawmill and Hickory Wing. Trails are in the best shape I've ever seen them in over the last 5 years. |
Thursday Jan 31 |
| Swimming intervals 30:00 [4] | |
| |
| Did 800m (2x400m with 15s rest) in 14:23, then did 400m in 7:00 then 100m in 1:43 then another 400m in 7:05, after adjusting the goggles. Right shoulder sore with all the front crawl. |
| Trail running 58:00 [2] | |
| ahr:123 weight:71kg |
| Ran with Anita and Regnly over past Ginter and back via the pet store where we got another couple of frisbees for the pooch. He loves the damn things so much so I can't understand why he chews the hell out of them.
Found the old bathroom scale and weighed myself for the first time in ages. Winter layer gives me an extra kilo and extra insulation against the cold. |
| Hockey intervals 40:00 [3] | |
| |
| Hockey game - played a couple shifts up front then dropped back to the blue line to even the lines. Kept my head up and didn't get hurt today. Pretty good fun but the sharp skates felt weird. |
Wednesday Jan 30 |
| Snowshoe 1:26:00 [3] | |
| |
| Modest snowshoe run with Regnly. Reclaimed the cutblock trail...for now. |
| Core strength 10:00 [0] | |
| slept:5.0 |
| While watching some x-c skiing on the tube. Was going to go to oval but the lack of sleep last night caught up to me. |
Tuesday Jan 29 |
| Swimming intervals 30:00 [4] | |
| |
| Not really sure how high the HR gets during these. Did 800m in 14min flat then 400m x2 in 6:56 with 2' rest after 800m and 90s between 400s. |

| C • Another one 2 |
| Skate skiing 1:06:00 [2] | |
| |
| Regnly was going nuts after two days shut in with the cold so when it crept above -20C I relented and took him out to the dog trail at Otway. Should have brought the classic skis but didn't. Amazingly slow snow for skating. Had trouble reeling in the old guy with his Karhu classic skis. I think those old finns knew something about making skis glide in the cold.
More cold weather tonight and tomorrow. Say a prayer for brass monkeys... |
Monday Jan 28 |
| Track workout warm up/down 30:00 [1] | |
| |
| 11 up, 10 down and 9 between reps. |
| Track workout intervals 18:00 [3] | |
| |
| Way too cold out to run or ski or skate. Therefore we headed up to the NSC for a track workout while the city worked on our water supply.
4x4:30 w/3' off.
Busy as heck up there with people pushing strollers, groups of walkers, pseudo-runners, etc. Ended up having to dodge lots. Lost power big time on the last one. |
| Core strength 10:00 [0] | |
| |
| Better than nothing. |
