What a day!!!! Sub 4 and an 8 minute PR. 😀Thanks coach Lee @hfxroadhammers for supporting me during the last 2 training blocks. I definitely couldn’t do this without his guidance.

I told him last week my A goal was 3:59:59 and I was lucky enough to achieve that today with a 3:59:24. My B goal was a sub 4:07 for a PR. What a great day!

The Finish Line song actually started playing when I was in the last 500m or so. It was perfect and made me laugh!

Oh just a little pre wedding long run! Warm up with 26 minutes at 1 hour pace. K bye!

Easy miles today. I felt great after last nights hill session. Absolutely no pain whatsoever.

Took it extra easy because why not? My heart rate seemed to be spiking some and it was driving me crazy so I walked a lot to bring it down.

Wedding this weekend, which probably means an early wake-up on Saturday to get my long run in.

Happy Thursday!

Hill repeats! This is the first time I’ve attempted hills in a LONG time! Hills are known to aggravate the Achilles tendon so I have steered clear of them.

I’ve been feeling really good since early April, but was being cautious at the same time. So tonight I modified the hill workout given to our group. The hills for everyone else were long hills. I started with 30 seconds and increased the hill by 5 second each time. I did 8 reps in total. I had planned on “only doing marathon pace”, but when I looked at my watch it was way faster than that. So I just went with what felt good. Most were between 4:15-4:45. It wasn’t a super steep hill, more like a gradual incline, but near the end getting steep. Guys my legs felt so strong. Never underestimate strength training!

Because I wasn’t ready for the longer hills, I had a longer cool down to make up for some of the km’s I’d be missing.

Felt like 22. So nice and cool!

I have a wedding this weekend so I’m going to be scrambling to get my long run done this weekend. Somehow I’ll manage.

Happy Wednesday! by @deerunsmarathons

Easy 10km today. Luckily I found a window of time before the thunder and lightning storm.

Happy Tuesday!

Easy run on a Monday. It felt good to be outside after all the smoky conditions last week.

Normally I don’t run on Monday, but I was so tired after a weekend away for a bachelorette I didn’t have it in me to run. So this was yesterday’s run. I don’t really like playing catch up or changing the schedule, but sometimes we have to adjust.

I did play a game of ultimate frisbee last night. I ran almost 4 km’s in that game. So that was basically 4km’s of interval training. I was actually feeling a bit sore from last nights game today.

Golf tonight and back at it again tomorrow.

Happy Monday!

Not really flexing with an easy run and that’s the point friends. Easy is meant to feel easy. I’m not setting a marathon PR with it. In fact marathon pace looks nothing like your easy run. Today’s run is over a minute slower per km than my goal marathon pace. Avg heart rate 131.

I don’t normally run on Friday, but I have a bachelorette that I’m going to this weekend. So tomorrow is my rest day. Happy Friday!

I was literally soaked after this indoor tread run. Long run done early because I have a bachelorette this weekend.

I broke this up by 30 minute blocks. I would stop and walk and take in my gel and salt stick capsule. Good thing I did because afterwards I was lightheaded. I’m probably the sweatiest person on the planet after my tread runs. I literally have to wipe the entire machine down. 😂

Glad to have this done and now I can enjoy the weekend guilt free.

Happy Thursday!

Ontario apparently has the worst air quality on the planet currently so the treadmill was my only choice. I have no interest in breathing that in.

There are hundreds of out of control wildfires in Northern Ontario right now and the smoke has travelled the 1000km to southern Ontario.

Today I took it extra easy. After speed sessions I find I’m a little more injury prone so I’m not taking any chances. Strength training followed.

Happy Wednesday!

Feels like 42 degrees means this girl is doing her speed session on the treadmill. Not a super fan of speed on the treadmill because it actually slows me down. I find the paces way harder on a treadmill than outside. 🤷‍♀️

W/u, GMP and 5x4minute intervals with recovery jog in between, c/d. I had to mostly walk the recovery parts because I was dying.

Happy Tuesday.
