Training Log Archive: Timato

This may be one of my last hard workouts before lookout mountain and it was a good one.

Ran up to Bechtel and then did 3 laps of the park at tempo with a few minutes break inbetween each.

Times per lap were:
18:18
17:46
17:52

Pretty happy with the consistency on these. At about halfway on the last loop I was feeling the affects of yesterday's TRX workout and the previous loops, but tried to push as hard as I could to finish. Very happy to get this working out today.

C • Nice job, Tiny 4

Time it takes to run down to Bechtel and home.

Event: O-Cup #1
 

A really cold run this morning. Headed out with plans for something a bit longer, but had some issues with frozen areas that required that I head home.

C • Frozen 2

Down to Bingeman's and back.

-8 outside means on the trainer this morning.

Short quick extra workout in the middle of the day.

4 loops around the park with 2 min recovery inbetween.

7:50
7:40
7:45
7:40

A good Hockley run today. Did a loop with Mrs. Gally and then continued north and ran the two side trails back home.

C • Good man! 1

Got up with Mrs. Tiny to ride the trainer while she went to the gym. It seems everything that could conspire to cut this short occurred today.

1. Laptop need a power cord so I had to run upstairs to get that
2. Windows was nice enough to do an update mid cycle and then wanted to keep rebooting the laptop
3. Someone woke up earlier than normal and wanted out of their crib

A shorter run to see how my calf was feeling before a long run on Saturday. It's definitely better, so I'll see how it feels on Saturday.

My left calf is still quite sore from Sunday so rather than head out for a run I figured I'd be better to cycle today. Around -5 is my limit for riding outside so I setup the trainer today and road in the basement.

Out along the Grand River with the cross bike. Nice morning to be out, not to cold.

Event: Salomon Raid the Hammer
 

This year with the Aud on the bench Mrs. Tiny and I decided to do this event together. Eddie was nice enough to agree to run with us as well. We should have had to tow rope hooked up right from the start, but we didn't think of it, but on the way to one we realized this and got it out. From that point on Kristen probably spent all but 20 min on the tow including most of the off trail sections as well. Eddie was very impressive as he towed Kristen right up until CP 22 where I took over for the run back to the finish. We just plugged along the course and seemed to be moving very well, but really had no idea where we were compared to everyone else. We ran into Pillar/Trav around 9-10 and did the back section together. I was pleasantly surprised to see we were 13th overall given this was a runner's race and we are not great runner's. It was also nice to be done with enough time to grab some food before heading home to pickup Teeny.

Thanks PH and GHO.

C • Not great runners? 2

3 tempo loops around Bechtel park

1: 15:59
2: 15:05
3: 15:25

I had a really nice wipe out on loop 2 which then caused me to forget I had added an extra hill climb as I was busy trying to pull off my wet gloves.

Run to and home from Bechtel Park.

A really nice road ride this morning. I can start riding again in the morning now that the sun comes up before 7.

Jogging around with ARK Attack.

6 times 4 min with 2 min recovery.

A rather cold road ride this morning. Still with the sun showing it's long forgotten face it was a nice change of pace for me.

Loops in Briethupt Park.
