Bulldog Hits 1000 Miles In 2009
Tonight’s three mile warm up and 10k Strength Builder workout took my mileage for 2009 to 1000. Not a bad effort for the first 134 days of the year I guess.
The workout went well and my legs feel fully recovered from the Frederick Marathon just ten days ago. I’m hoping to run another 5k [...]
Double 10k Strength Builder
With 18 days to Shamrock, I figured it would be a good time to test my shoes of choice for the marathon – the Brooks Racer ST4. I decided on a treadmill workout in case the shoes didn’t work out (at least I’d be able to hop off and change into something more comfortable), and [...]
10k Strength Builder & The 30 Day Shred

The workout, set to upbeat music which can be turned on or off, starts with a 10 minute warmup at a [...]
Tuesday Treadmill Workout
Just another treadmill workout tonight – my weekly 10k Strength Builder from the Runervals series of DVDs. The workout usually lasts 52 minutes, but I added on an extra mile at the end to make it up to an hour. Felt pretty good tonight, not fantastic, but nothing to worry about either.
Two-In-A-Row 10k Strength Builder
Here we go again. After not running on the treadmill for at least a couple of weeks, I decided on another 10k Strength Builder workout this afternoon. I didn’t run at full 10k speed for fear of injuring myself, but performed the 5 x 6 minute intervals at quite a good pace and ended up [...]
