We did the Kenyan intervals again today: 13 x 1 minute hard followed by 1 minute recovery (I walked). It felt a bit easier today than last time we did it. Maybe because it wasn't as hot. Lisa kept reminding me I'm supposed to be tapering but it's so hard to go slow when I'm …

So hot!
We ran intervals at the park today again. It was super hot (33C feels like 37C!) so my medium and fast intervals were pretty much the same speed as my recovery pace. 😂 Toward the end of the intervals, there was a kid screaming in pain crouched over on a bench. He was with his …
Catching up
Since I haven't blogged about Monday's run, I'll blog about both Monday and last night's run here. Monday I did a 4km pre-run and then did 2x5km loops with the People's Church crew. The first loop, we were basically chasing Dave and, importantly, Rishi kept up with us the whole time! Rishi has improved so …
Running around and around
Last night was intervals around Maureen Parkette. Warm-up run, 7 loops around the Parkette, cool-down run. I brought all my running clothes to work but forgot a hat and sunscreen. Fail again. 😒 I keep on telling myself that I have to push harder on the fast intervals and slower on the recovery to get …
Running math:(300m+200m+100m) x 4 = one tough workout!
Today's interval workout was hard! I thought I was done after 3 sets but then Jim told us to do another set. 😒 I was already dying at the end of the 3rd set so after the 4th set, I was really dead. Then we still had to run back to the store via the …

Oops I did it again
Amy organized a post-run potluck BBQ for the Monday night People's Church #findyourfit walk/run group. We started at 6:45pm and had to be back by 7:30pm for the food, so I decided to only do 1 loop at a tempo pace. Priorities! Felt really good to do the tempo pace, especially with Dave chasing me. …
Happy Global Running Day
After 8+ months of running on Wednesday nights, you would think I should be able to remember to bring all the stuff that I need for the run to work. Not so much. I keep on forgetting different things which is kind of funny. Today, I forgot to bring my running shorts. Good thing I …
Feeling hot hot hot
Tonight's run was HOT. We did pyramid intervals again. This time, it was 200m-400m-600m-400m-200m. At the end, while we were waiting for the rest of the group to come back, Jim made us do another 200m. When everyone came back, he told us to do the last 600m fast-slow-fast. Of course, whatever he tells us …
Ninja intervals
Last night's ninja training was pyramid intervals on the track. We had to go hard intervals of 0.5 lap, 1 lap, 1.5 laps, 1.5 laps, 1 lap, 0.5 lap. Each hard interval was followed by 0.5 lap of recovery. It was a hard workout! The hot weather didn't help either. Both Lisa and I originally …
Jim’s 4×4 killer hills
I will be missing tomorrow's ninja training because of a work event so I decided to do my 8km training today. Lisa graciously agreed to join me and we did Jim's 4x4 killer hills. Thanks Lisa!! It was a really nice day and lots of people were on the trail. I wondered what they were …
