Run commute to UBC doing these miles very slowly.

The bike commute today was a challenge due to the fact it snowed. I thought it would be smooth sailing but once I made it up to UBC the snow cover was significant. The Jake handled well though and I made it to work intact.
Easy run after work 1:09.

Saturday easy run 1:01
Sunday Long Hilly 2hrs this was kind of hard, looking back on my training log this was only my 3rd run in the 2hr range this year! Slowly building upto 3hrs. Next week another 2hr then 2:15 etc… Legs feel strong.
Going to have to buy some trainers though been using lightweight […]

Flat slow and easy run in the fog.
This base training thing is kind of odd I feel like I am slacking.
Next week I am going to attempt to run commute 2 days a week. My supervisor does it so I can.

Slow and easy entering base training phase. Even though I am probably racing a 10k XC race on Sat I will not do any speed work this week to sharpen. Was very foggy out kind of cool.

Very easy long hilly run in the Park.
It was very calm and foggy felt ghostly.
Legs feel strong taking Monday off.

This article basically sums up what this next couple of months of training are for me, also the reason why this year sucked. I entered this year with zero base due to the bike accident.
Aerobic base training: Going slower to get faster

Standard bike commute today 1:10, but I went a little crazy on the way into UBC total hammer time.

Cycle: 1:10
Easy run 59:30 felt Ok not going to race this weekend though.
