I've come to embrace the treadmill
If I didn't I would be running in the winter. I find it helps with the speed work. 0 -
5 miles-51:47. Had to take a couple of walking breaks on a particularly tough hill, but overall a good run! Cold front is on its way through now, so I may be back in the gym tomorrow.0
-
I went out for a 3.5 mile run in the cold yesterday. Going to try do my long runs at the weekend, so it isn't always night time.
Everyone seems to be doing really well, congratulations!0 -

I gotta get into swimming for cross training.0

I have tried running on a treadmill several times. The last time, I made it 2 miles, but when I finished, I felt dizzy. Thankfully my gym has an indoor track (14 mind-numbing laps per mile, but still better than a treadmill.)
I really consider myself a cyclist who also runs. I love riding my bicycle! Been meaning to learn how to swim laps, so I could a triathlon, but haven't fit that in my schedule (or budget) yet.0 -
Somehow the elliptical isn't nearly as bad as the treadmill for me. I swim occasionally, but with lessons and swim teams using the pool most evenings I doesn't fit my schedule as well. We still have no pavement, messaged a girlfriend, hopefully she will go with me... not looking forward to another gym workout. Boo. And more snow tomorrow, and again monday. Maybe I'll have to suck it up, and hit the treadmill. It makes me want to cry....0

5k tonight, weights tomorrow and another 20k+ on Saturday 8)0

I got off work too late to run outside yesterday, so I put in my 4 miles at the gym- 56 laps in 38:32. Hoping the weather will cooperate for an 8 mile run outside tomorrow.0

You all are amazing!
3 miserable miles on the treadmill this morning. We won't have pavement for some time, I'm guessing... going north for the weekend on the snowmobiles, so not sure what chance I'll have to run. I'll try, but not sure I'll have time or opportunity- I'm sure the roads are no better at the cabin.0 -
rest day today from cardio. 21k again tomorrow, maybe a bit more, pending my legs

I had to miss the Parkrun this morning as I have slightly injured my neck. Hoping it will be back to normal for my 9 mile run tomorrow. I never thought I would see the day where I am annoyed to be missing a run for a legit reason0
-
Heal up I'm just eating breakfest then on to my normal Saturday training run, hoping for at least another 21k 0
-
21k training running done. Shaved 6 minutes off last weekend's run. PR 2:07:35. But I was feeling the "burn" on the last Km. 8)0

Hi All,
First post for me, and first race of the year this morning. Nearly bailed on it since it was -30C outside and I only got in from a business trip late last night.
Glad I didn't though, as usual, once you're out there it's awesome.
The course was around a horse racing track, and then out onto some ploughed roads before finishing at the track again. It was really nice to have somewhere warm to recover afterwards.
Time was a little slower than I was hoping for (50.39 for a 10k) but it was slippy, and I ran a negative split so it was a good lesson in pacing.
Next one in 2 weeks - can't wait!
Keep it up everyone

Great job on getting out there everyone! Simon, I would be thrilled with that time for a 10k!
I ran 8 miles today at my local national park (hilly). Miles 6 - 7 were tough, but I plowed through and finished in 1:21:38 (1 1/2 minutes slower than last week's 8 miler.)0 -

YOU RUN THIS ON A TREADMILL! Your sir are amazing, that is dedication.0 -
Ya I run the treadmill during the winter, it's pretty cold up here in Canada. I just put on my headphones on and go

I ran 9 miles today in 100 mins. Felt pretty good at the end, really starting to feel like I might manage this HM in May in a time I can be proud of0

Nice job. My goal has was to just complete as it is my 1st one. Then decided on a goal of 3 hours then a new goal of 2 1/2. Now with my training runs and 3 months away I'm curious if I can get under 2 hours. But I'm not pushing it to hard to try, as my main goal now is to beat my brothers 1/2 time, I'm twice his age but the sibling rivalry is still there LOL.0 -
Nice! I had similar goals, first of all just to finish, now hoping for under 2 1/2 hours. I am hoping to do the Great North Run in September as well, so might see whether under 2 hours is achievable for that one.0
-
My first, and only, HM I was similar. Initially it was just to complete but as I trained I went to under 2 hours, as the training was suggesting. I had a significantly reduced training mileage for about 6 weeks before the race, as a result of a medical treatment, so ended up only managing 2:07, albeit that was on trail so had a fairly significant vertical elevation.
Last weeks 21.1 was trail again and 2:16, so I'm hoping that my event in May will be down below 2:00. That said it's an area I'm not familiar with and again it has quite a lot of vert, so that might be unrealistic.0 -
Did 7.01 miles in 1hr 12 mins this morning. My snowmobile is misbehaving, so i stayed behind today. Didn't pack running gear, but with nothing else to do in the rustic cabin besides lay by the fire and eat... 4 scones over the course of the morning.... and no excuses of entertaining little boys with my mom here i borrowed a sports bra from daughter, sweats from hubby and a hoodie and fleece from my dad. Was 19f, windchill 11 but the roads aren't as bad as ours at home. Headed out, and got back to our road at exactly 4 miles. Decided everything felt good, so i kept going. Seemed like a good idea; nothing better to do, already ate a ton and more snow tomorrow means no pavement for who knows how long!
Seems like you are all doing great on your plans! Way to go!0 -
11.05 miles today with a better pace than last week's 11mile LR. From 11:30 to 10:55. It took me just barely over 2 hours. So yippee skippy.
In other running news- I found out that I there is half here locally in March, so I am going to run that in addition to the Rock'n'Roll half I signed up for in May.
and my family in law recruited me for 67 mile 5 person relay race in April.
My first 10k is Valentines Day.
I'm pretty excited for the upcoming races!!!!!!!

I have similar goals to you both for my first!0 -
I've also gone from "I just want to finish" to having a goal of finishing in under 2 1/2 hours.
I was scheduled to run 2 to 3 miles yesterday. Thanks to high winds and cold rain, I was forced to try my mother in law's treadmill. It has issues and randomly slows down from time to time. I hate treadmill running anyway, but this was the pits! I managed 2 1/2 miles in 30 minutes of torture!0 -
Well done for getting it done!0
-
Crosstraining today, so bike/yoga0
-
Hockey for me. Optimistically hoping it covers cross-training AND intervals!0
