Warm-up before the race.

The GVOC National Team Fundraiser at Vanier Park. This was on the same day as the Vancouver Marathon and their course went right through the area we were in. It was kind of unusual to come sprinting along the marathon runners with a map in the hand... I pushed hard and had a good race, but again an area I know by heart. There was one long leg route choice, though, where I didn't take the best route. Map and routes on RouteGadget here.

Cool-down and picking up controls.

Run along Lynn Creek from Mountain Highway with Andrea. I was running ahead in some sections to go a bit faster and then run back to join up with Andrea again. The way back home was on the higher trail, which is rather technical with some steep sections.

Run with Matthias, Meghan and Louise in Pacific Spirit Park. Intensity was somewhere between 2 and 3 for me, so I'll log it as 3 because I don't have much 3 in my log so far... :)

Some crunches and stuff. Haven't done core in ages...

Warm-up.

Last WET for the spring season at Stanley Park. It was a mass start and Thomas and I had a fun race the first half of the course. We took turn leading and then making small mistakes. But then Thomas saw a washroom and got really excited to explore it, so I was alone on the last bit...

Cool-down along the famous sea wall.

Warm-up before intervals. Run from the apartment to the parking lot at Jericho, where we met, and then some more running on the trails in the park.

Trail intervals at Jericho park. The loop is about 630 metres and one section is really narrow and bendy. Did 9 repeats and all of them took around 2 minutes. Felt pretty strong actually!

Cool-down.
