Ten Mile Run With Eight Miles At Marathon Pace

No MotionBased stats available at the moment for tonight’s run as I’m having problems with my other computer that I usually hook the Garmin up to. Seems like a recent Windows update has messed with some settings and I’m unable to start it up at the moment. Anyway, on to tonight’s run. I planned on [...]


Lunchtime Run In The Sun

First time since Sunday I’ve ventured outside for a run, and what a nice run it was too! I’d only planned to run 4 or 5 miles, but with temperatures in the mid-70°s and a nice cooling breeze, it was a perfect afternoon for something a little longer. I ended up running 7 miles, and [...]

I surprised myself towards the end of the workout with a couple of low six minute miles (6:07 and 6:09), and was [...]

Spinervals 10k Strength Builder & An Ab Workout

Last night’s workout was just an indoor bike ride for about 35 minutes with no running or strength work. The recovery day left me feeling refreshed and ready to tackle a treadmill workout, and I decided to follow Troy Jacobson’s 10k Strength Builder from the great Runervals series. Here’s a review of the workout from [...]
