29mi. I have been riding with wind this season since Thanksgiving, with only a few workouts having less than 12mph breezes. I started in hot conditions, Apple phone equipped for a loop to the Inlet. Plenty of time spent riding into the wind, since it came from the east. I pressed into the wind to … Continue reading Using the wind
11 mi. Erica asks me if I'll do her "long run" with her, calculatd to be 11 miles at 7 min pace. I was going to do the track workout at 5 miles total, but in the spirit of training harder as per my Vancouver runs, I agree. It begins with a one mile warmup … Continue reading Sure, I’ll go…
Stanley Park, an urban playground of trees, lakes, trails and other natural attractions is home to a most unique feature - the Seawall. This paved path circles the westernmost boundary of the park. It yields tremendous views of Victoria Island, Lion's Gate Bridge, the mouth of Vancouver harbor leading out to the Pacific, and ships … Continue reading Vancouver’s Seawall
30mi. I rode to the Jupiter Inlet from home, using a later start time (5:00pm) to maybe take advantage of cooler temps. I swear I was caught by most traffic lights on Military Trail heading north... plenty of stop -> clip out of my pedals -> get a drink -> start up again. It was … Continue reading Back on record
5mi. On what I believe to be our last track workout in the parking lot, I was good but slowing at the end of 600 and 1200 late in the session intervals. Seth, Matt K. and Aldo were ahead of me and in those later intervals - breaking away. It was cool 65 degrees and … Continue reading Thursday well spent
5mi. We cannot use the Benjamin HS track yet, the red top surface is down but we have another two weeks before we can run there again. We did some circles of the grounds, the gates were open for construction workers so warmup, cool down and a few of our laps went outside on the … Continue reading Can’t miss too many…
5mi - Again the track is under construction at Benjamin HS, so we run 300m intervals in the parking lot. Anita comes for her first dash since November, Perry is doing Treasure Coast marathon this weekend as training for the JD State Park 50k in April. I stayed as close ass I wanted to Aldo, … Continue reading Street wise in February
29mi. I left the house into a 16mph SSE wind, so NOrthlake Eastbaound was upstream. Once I turned on Military Trail, I benefitted from the wind, but not the traffic signals. I had to complete stop and unclip at Northlake, Burns Rd, PGA, Donald Ross, Frederick Small, Toney Penna and then eastbound on Insdiantown Road, I … Continue reading Hills or wind? Same as..
8mi. Two days after running a 5k at Riverbend Park, I may have been inspired to run the hills with some purpose. I did the mile warmup in 83 degree sun, starting at 3:50pm. Once I hit the bridge for the laps up and down, I decided to sprint all the uphills. This meant 12 … Continue reading Sprinting up!
7mi. Today's bridge workout would be the easiest run to skip or sleep through. I am still feeling Sunday's A1A effort in my quads and lack of flexibility. I did the exercises before driving to the run, and arrived at 4:52 with only Paul there already starting his warm up. We spoke a bit and … Continue reading So necessary!
