Scott McMillan : Endurance Junky

Non eventful week of training. My legs were quite sore for almost a week after that hike! I really must have pounded them on the downhill. I did make a small amount of progress in my interval workout though. We did 5×1k with descending rest I managed 3:33, 3:28, 3:31, 3:34, 3:25 which is about […]

Last week was a much deserved recovery week after 5 weeks of solid training. My legs felt great on Sunday’s run so good I had to hold myself back, my knee seemed to bother me riding to work though I cannot tell if it is a bike issue because it does not bother me […]

Back in the day (a year ago) friends used to call me “The Greyhound” when I was a svelte 150… those days are long gone now(well until I go on a diet cut back on drinking and actually train properly).
Here is a cool Greyhound photo from Crestock.com:

Well last week was a mediocre training week with no great times at Thursdays interval workout 2 x 1 7/8 mile (it was hot and I think it slowed me down). My sister was in town on the weekend so I didn’t get any runs in but we did manage to do a hard 4 […]

I guess because I always bike to work this is no big deal, but to all the lazy drivers who read this blog get off your lazy ass and ride your bike to work this week at the very least… It’s good for the environment, good for your wallet and good training.

Another good week of training… that makes 4 in a row. I still think I am about 6-8 weeks away from being back to normal…
Highlights of this week included me doing my first real “brick” workout. I said previously I did this already 3 days/week normally but this was my first hard one. On Saturday […]

Interesting article on Yahoo! News describing the benefits of weight training and the slowing of the aging process. Time to hit the gym! Start taking some HGH along with the weight training and 100 will be the new 40.
Researchers have found that seniors who participated in weight training not only improved muscle strength and […]

This was another decent week of training. I did the normal 5 days of bike commuting with the extended rides on M,W,F. Tuesday a did a hilly 1:02 run with Cody which was a good session. I also attended my 3rd week of interval training with VFAC which showed another week of improvement I have […]

Well last week was my first “solid” week of training in probably 10 months.
On Tuesday I did an actual tempo run over a hilly loop in Stanley Park for just under 60 minutes and on Thursday I returned to VFAC for my second interval work out and boy was it a hard one… we did […]

Well I finally made it back to VFAC intervals for my first club workout session since last June. Man was it painful, the workout was 2 x 1 7/8 miles the first interval I took it fairly easy but still faster than I have run in an extended burst in almost a year, the second […]
