Month: July 2013

223 this morning when I woke up – 223.5 after evening run and 223 after the swim following the run Had fun on the treadmill today – apparently the breaker in the panel is not the issue – even with the new breaker it is still tripping whenever I try anything sustained over 8.5 mph. …

224 when woke up this morning – 224.5 after evening run. Run tonight was a 3.8 miles in 30 minutes – probably could have been faster / run further but the breaker for the treadmill tripped at 17.5 minutes (2.2 miles) while I was going 8.5 mph. I started with 1 minute at 4 mph,…

223 when I woke up 220 after morning run. Run today was outside – 13.1 miles (according to phone GPS anyway – loops on a map look like should be closer to 13.5 but both phone and GPS watch agree so will go with that) in 2 hours 3.5 minutes. Basically took the run quite…

So I had tried to get into the WFPS Half Marathon on October 19th, 2013 here in Winnipeg but when I made my attempt they had already sold out.  I sent an email to the race team to ask to be put on a waiting list and luckily they opened up more spots and I…

226 this morning when I got up and 228 after my evening run This post will be a bit of a recap of the past week – I have gotten several runs in but haven’t had a chance to get any posts up on the blog due to work on the yard and other time…

Since we have been able to start getting into our pool now I have been trying a few things to do some resistance and cardiovascular training in the pool and thought I would write up what I have been doing. For cardio I have been swimming lengths – the pool is only 32 feet long…

So I have been doing some thinking as to what my training should be going for the half marathons I have signed up for in September (2nd and 22nd – see the post http://biggoofyrunner.com/upcoming-races-signed-up-for-2-half-marathons-in-sept-2013/ for more information). Basically Monday the 15th of July marks the 7 week point prior to the first of the 2…
