The manager of the Langley Running Room (Twila) said she needed a leader for another group and asked if I would lead it. I accepted the challenge and familiarized myself with the route that was given to me. We had to do a … Read entire article »

The danger with using caffeine is that it can cause you to be edgy, loose focus and max out your heart rate faster. The other disadvantage is caffeine is a stimulant which will cause you to experience a crash later. I do not believe in using caffeine for workouts what … Read entire article »

Running Log – Back to Hills
Instead of doing Fartlek’s tonight we voted to do hills. My calves were sensitivity from running with my Vibram’s from last night so I was able to do 4 hills. Our group has found that doing hills improves our pace and leg muscles more then Fartlek’s do. I am not sure if that is a phenomena everyone has but it seems to work for us. We did our hills back at Pain Hill so now … Read entire article »

Running Log – The Historic Half
Today I completed my first ever Half Marathon Race. It was neat to line up with 1000’s of people and pad off into the cold morning sun. The trees still had frost on them and there was a strange fowl smell in the air. I felt good and was looking forward to a great race. I saw lots of my fellow runners from the Langley Running Room. For this race I tried nothing new that … Read entire article »
