This Week - Getting Back to a Routine

So have had 3 weeks of no structure. Relaxing, chilling and working on other projects. Are back into the "training" routine on Nov 9th and an't wait but until then the structure will be limited.

This week I plan to get into good eating and sleeping habits and just get the routine going again. Plan on cycle commuting all week, will hop in the pool for some drills and to do a benchmark set and go for a couple short runs.

This weekend brings on Haney to Harrison and will be running the last leg which is 8km and is flat and fast so that should be fun. The next day are going to ride back from Harrison to Vancouver and will be fun to get in some miles on the bike.

So although not that much structure on the agenda will hopefully try and get the routine set ahead of getting in a really solid winter which will revolve heavily around the pool.

Monday Night Lactate Based Run Sessions (Vancouver )

For those that are Vancouver based and interested in working on your running over the winter I am involved in a Monday session that we are holding out at UBC with myself and Jerry Ziak (2:17 Marathoner). For full details of what the session is about and to sign up online please visit http://vanrunning.blogspot.com/ for all the details

We have people running who are at everything from 33 minute 10km pace to 60+ 10km pace. They way the workouts are structured allow for everyone to work to their potential in a group environment and we have a strong emphasis on drills and post run strength work out to build people into better runners and help prevent injury.

Hope to see you out there!!!
