Training Log Archive: Timato

6 Repeats of Blue Mountain. On the last I was pretty cooked. The sun was out and the climb was steep. A good workout for Cloudsplitter.

Audrey and I went exploring on the trails behind the condo. Her on her bike and me running. Was hard to get my legs going and she's a lot faster on her bike than before. Once I loosened up I tried to run her biking pace which was hard on the road and chipped gravel. Luckily I got breaks on the trails and Rocky paths.

Ran from Dungron to Barb's condo in Collingwood. Lost the trail at Osler Bluff and could not figure it out, so ran around on the road, but otherwise an uneventful night run. Felt good when I was done to have it out of the way for the weekend.

I was up to ride on the trainer and then realized K-way had a breakfast meeting this morning so she wasn't going to work out. She happened to be getting up while I was getting changed, I asked if I had time for a run while she got ready. Just enough time to sneak outside and run (way better than riding in the basement).

A really good session today at Chicopee. I noticed last week even though I was running every hill my overall pace wasn't much better than when I hiked a section the previous week. Today I really tried to focus on keeping a good pace up and down. Ended up adding 2 more from last week and averaged 7.26 overall, last week my average was 7.56.

On the bike on the trainer again. Did 2 x 20 min sessions at a good pace (HR in the range of 155-165). Had a 5 min break in between. Plus warm-up/cool-down.

When the alarm went off at 5 am it was pouring rain and I was still tired. I've had a cold the last week that is taking the energy out of me. So I reset the alarm and went back to bed. An hour later the rain had let up a bit and I was way more awake. Nice run in the rain/mist.
