Ride/Run
I followed up a quick blow out on the bike (6 miles in 17:57) with another run on the soccer fields at the PAAC. Started with two easy miles (7:52, 7:37) and then ran a couple of miles where I jogged the length of a soccer pitch and “sprinted” the widths (7:15, 7:00). Finished off [...]

Another Week Without A Post
Slacking again, I know, so here’s a quick recap of the past seven days: 9/22 – challenging indoor bike ride. Decided to do the Spinervals Time Trial Special, which is a pretty intense workout designed to increase your anaerobic threshold. From what I can remember, the workout went something like this: Warm up 3 x [...]

Ride, Run, Ride
My first “two runs in two days” since the beginning the comeback and yet another test on the road to recovery. Rather than drive the couple of miles to the PAAC (Princess Anne Athletic Complex), I hopped on my mountain bike, took a slight detour and used the three miles as a gentle warm-up for [...]
Orgain. The World’s First Organic, Ready-To-Drink Meal Replacement
I recently had the opportunity to try out the Creamy Chocolate Fudge flavor of Orgain — “The World’s First Organic, Ready-To-Drink Meal Replacement”. Let me start by stating I’m not typically a person who looks specifically for organic products (that would be my wife), but I’m not dead set against them either. Orgain, as stated [...]
I’m Back! The Inaugural All Access 5k
Just a quick post to celebrate my return to racing after six weeks with a stress fracture and a further two of easy recovery running. I wasn’t sure what to expect with (a) no speed in my legs whatsoever (b) no runs on asphalt for eight weeks and (c) much race-rustiness in the system. I [...]
Exclusive! Get 10% Off A PaceTat Marathon Pacing Tattoo
Fall marathon season is upon us, as is the need for a smart race pacing strategy. It’s amazing how many months of planning, training and dedication can come unstuck in a matter of a few miles on race day. Get your pace wrong in the opening miles of a marathon and it doesn’t matter how [...]
Longest Run Of The Comeback
Great afternoon for a run, so decided to set my Garmin Virtual Partner at 7:30 per mile and see how I fared trying to maintain a fairly ambitious pace. As with all my post-stress fracture runs, I started out fairly conservatively. I did, however, manage to “catch” my Virtual Partner (Jonesy) just after the four [...]
