Endurance Junky

I skipped the VFAC interval session and did a tempo run around the seawall. 47min / 35 @ tempo pace.

Cycle : 1:10 Easy run on the trails 54:00 . I was scheduled to do a tempo run but legs felt to heavy.

I raced the Grouse Grind Mountain Run Mountain today. I still think this is one of the most brutal endurance events, basically it is pure pain right out of the gates. The race went well minus the start, they placed to many slow runners in the first wave, many of whom went out to hard [...]

Cycle : 1:10 Hill Repeats with VFAC. 5 X 800m hill (3:52,3:53,3:55,3:57,3:52) took it easy no point in burning matches this workout.

Cycle : 1:10 Last hilly run/workout before the Grouse Mountain Run 5 hill repeats (4 chickadees and 1 pipeline) 4 flat sprints ~ 200-300m. Legs felt a little fatigued from all the hiking, cold is almost gone.

Cycle casual 1:00 Run: 1:08

Saturday hiked Squamish Chief (2nd peak) with sister and her husband. Wore a heavy pack so was a decent workout. Sunday hiked Hollyburn Mountain wore a heavy/weighted pack again, we took the technical/short cut backside route up, legs were sore after.

PB today on the Grind 32:03 This was done with a cold, in the rain and a slight hang over. Felt very easy so the legs must be fit.

Cycle 1:10 the commute was tough today smoke was in the air plus the cold made the breathing a little difficult. No running trying to get shake the cold.

Cycle: 1:10 Tempo run 50 minutes 34 minutes @ Tempo pace. This was a hard run still recovering from the cold.
