Urban Runner

This is my blog. I live, work and run in the city of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I'm a regular 9 to 5er trying to find out what he can do with his running.

When I'm not running I've been known to enjoy the odd cup of coffee.

Another Zone 1 run in the books

Tonight was 75 minutes in my new zone 1 again. Again, worked hard to keep it going at the right pace. Kept focused on cadence and keeping my arms moving. As long as I pay attention to those two factors I know I’m okay.

Tonight I felt that I had much better feel for the pace. This was encouraging. I was noticing for example when my pace was picking up too much.

Its funny as I was really psych’d up for this tonight. I thinking knowing that this was a tough week I’ve been very focused on each run this week. I really didn’t want too miss any of my targets this week. Even my sleep has been good all week.

Ran to Dows Lake and along the canal to 5th avenue and back. This is a nice route as it’s a mix of canal, city streets and one good hill on Young street. The hill happens at nice point in the run and hence offers a nice challenge.

Morning weight: 195.2 (Diner out last night weight slightly up)
Tomorrow: rest day plus stretching
