great Coal Harbour to English Bay, ... 17.5 km 01:48 09:57 pace
And the other half of the mileage I wanted to accomplish this weekend. Felt good! Looking forward to decreasing mileage even more, but I can already tell, my body is reaping the rewards of training... read more

RUN
great Granville Island to 2nd Beach... 10.3 km 01:02 09:43 pace
Pleased with how this went, maintained my target marathon pace the whole run. Had many moments where I had to force myself to slow down, so I think this will be a very manageable pace to maintain o... read more

RUN
good Tempo run on the seawall 14.5 km 01:19 08:46 pace
Maybe had a couple too many drinks last night...I felt dehydrated and it made itself real obvious during this run. So I cut my route short as I didn't want any calf cramping to occur, and real... read more

I'm doing the half @ RFW. It's pretty good. Cheap and close which is a big draw for me.

Don't be fooled by my insane mileage this week (101km). 35km of that was intended for last weekend but got bumped to this past Monday. So a condensed workout week yes! I'm tired!

101km in the span of 7 days-- that is an incredibly impressive feat! wowza! I hope you are resting and basking in the awesomeness that is you!

RUN
good Coal Harbour to Spanish Banks... 35 km 03:49 10:32 pace
I had planned a 38km run, but this was all I wanted to do in the end....I started the run quite tired - legs weren't sore, just lethargic and I couldn't stop yawning. LOL. It was a humid ... read more

RUN
alright Tempo run on the seawall 16 km 01:30 09:00 pace
This was not a good run at all. My coach wanted me to do 24km but I knew going in that I was feeling tired and perhaps a bit dehydrated after quite the long week (i.e, no weekend for me last weeken... read more

Wow! That is one fast 16km run! 5:35 pace?! Fantastic! Sorry to hear you were feeling blah. That is incredible that you ran 16km so soon after a 35km run! You are one amazing woman, that's for sure!

Time and distance approximate:
3km warm-up
20min "on" - 3.93km covered
5min "off" - recovery jog
20min "on" - same 3.93km covered, yay!
3km cooldown -
swim
Pool at my temporary Coal Har... 1600 m 00:45 45:15 pace
I'm guessing it's a 25m pool, so I think I swam a mile, but I'm not 100% sure. Took it an easy pace since I ran 35km yesterday and have my interval run tomorrow morning. So nice swim... read more

RUN
good Stanley Park seawall, English... 35 km 03:52 10:40 pace
With this run, I've now surpassed 800km for 2013 so far. But I knew this run was going to be a bit rough as my legs were exhausted even before starting this run after a long week of working ov... read more

hmmm interesting! Coconut Water you say? I've been putting more of that into my diet too lately & I'm noticing feeling a lot better in a hot yoga class or run when I do. Interesting. That said, my face was COVERED in salt post BMO half, it actually stung when I put water on my face because of all the salt running into my eyes. Do you have any other electrolyte tips?

I've been having sodium/electrolyte issues as of late...thanks for posting this and letting us know about it. I'm going to have to try some. I couldn't figure out (lots of water - too much actually) why I was in so much pain - I was flushing out electrolytes. You did awesome on your run though. I'd love to be able to marathon at a 10:00 pace. Whats your PR and what training plan do you use if you don't mind me asking?

good Tempo run on seawall 18 km 01:42 09:07 pace
This was hard to get going on. Overwhelming week with the flood at home, having to move out frantically, and then everything leading up to the Vancouver Marathon (expo and work all week/weekend). S... read more

great Kamloops Boogie the Bridge Ha... 21.12 km 02:02 09:17 pace
Treated this as a training run but after first few kms of warming up, I decided to turn up the heat. Gravel section was tough and lost time and last uphill section too but a strong finish. :)

Makes me smile when I reach the top of the leaderboard among my DM friends, even if it's temporary. I can only assume that I'm peaking and everyone else is tapering, but whatever :)

That's what I'm hoping for :-) Been working hard, Monnie! Anything under 4:30 I'd be ecstatic with though.
