🏃🏾‍♂️ So yesterday. After taking 4 days off, was due for a long run and I had no time trial in mind, but something to fit the fall mood. File this under 👏🏾. My fitness is unquestionably there, had a great summer as I look fwd to fall. NGL, this felt like easy work

🏃🏾‍♂️ another good long run, mix of road and a nice green trail, but as usual Ottawa providing no water fountains. My first sip was ~16k, and it was WARM. Missed the 6am outing. Thankfully hydrated the day/night before. But enjoyed a nice yummy radler later.

Today's the 1st of two days off. But yesterday was a good day. Track session:
🔸 goal: 5 x 1000m @ 4'00" pace w/ 400m rolling rest
🔸 actual: 5 x 1000m @ 3'58" pace w/ 400m rest
The goal was pace honesty and control. Happy w/ the results. Would love to hit Carlsbad in 2026!

I've spoken about this before during talks. There are parallels between running + web performance: managing hurdles + bottlenecks (more on that later). Below is Ditaji Kambunji 🇨🇭 who won a 🥇 yesterday in the 60mH 🇪🇺 Indoor Championship. She knows what it's all about!

🏃🏾‍♂️ 1yr ago this week, the Paris 2024 OLY Games were underway. That was so much fun to watch. Even though I missed this wild heat this morning, I was out in 25°C weather. Took it easy with reason. Be sure to hydrate folks!

Each is meant to fuel 12km, so hoping this is enough for 24km 🏃🏾‍♂️ this morning. Also, the discerning eye will see that my Raynauds is back — in 14°C. 😐

🏃🏾‍♂️ On my way to SFO, and was able to squeeze in a run this morning — in the midst of that cool breeze. Nonetheless, a very enlightening trip and couldn’t be happier to have made it down. 👏🏾👏🏾. SF is a different planet.

🌳 A calm, relaxing weekend. Had a long lap after this weekend run for some reason but it was all good, running along the a canal and touching grass. Nothing like a great chat w/ running friends afterwards. Such a big weekend for sunning inspo as well! And you?

I cannot remember — if ever — being suggested by my watch for a 2hr run, and more specifically two hours and seven minutes. I hate heading out late day, but I might actually wait this out, and let the rain pass.

Been testing myself this past week to see where my RUM cardio (outdoors) and less my LAB cardio (gym). Result?
🔸 feeling good! ✅
Road running is the test. The strengthening work feels like it's *working* (ankle, leg, hips) and held up beautifully. I deserves a few 🍩!

#RunnersInTech: as I work on a new training routine AND schedule, tweaking a few things around content scheduling I'm looking to share. But getting my body + mechanics up to speed is a P1. I feel great. Today: some strength work, then 33'33" of elliptical + 33'33" treadmill. Getting back @ it! 🏃🏾‍♂️

Officially back at it. All the competitive running that started a few weeks ago has been super inspiring. My body needs a bit of rebuild, but the goal is to be semi race ready in 100 days /June, or at least back to my regular training cadence. I miss the training, feeling + fitness. #RunnersInTech

All smiles! Delighted to be back home. Woke up thinking about going for what I consider an actual long run, and did. Had a great run at a super relaxed pace just to get mileage in on my feet AND body. Feel like cracking a 🍾 to semi celebrate. A radler w/ dinner? Maybe!

🏃🏾‍♂️ This was my weekend long run:
🔸 goal was 4’44” pace
🔸 actual was 4’43”
Basically, I was just about off by 1% (0.8% actually). I like this discipline plays. Getting back to my random 100min half for kicks. And yes, I’ve been watching #WCHTokyo25 getting inspired.
