Ultra Marathon Monday: Update on Blackfoot Training

Two to three kilometres.

That’s the distance I need to cover before I start enjoying my run. Lately I’ve had some minor trouble getting out the door. It’s been one excuse and justification after the other. Trust me any runner who says they do not have to drag their feet out the door at some point is bloody well lying!

Oh dear. It’s has been awhile since I have given you an update on my training. I promise I have been running and cross-training (via crossfit). I just haven’t felt like blogging about it.

My training has been that boring. Seriously.

Every week it’s a guessing game with the weather. So I haven’t been putting up big numbers. Instead I have been slowly, slowly building up my distance each week. That’s been my plan all along for January and February.  

 

Like my pics? I had some company on Saturday so I begged Steve to take my picture. The one on the right didn’t turn out too bad. And I used a timer for the one on the left. A little silly but fun!

Next month I will amp up my training to include more hills and distance. I really, really want to beat my Blackfoot time from 2013. It’s a big undertaking but I know I can do it if I focus and train smart.

Anway it’s been a great winter somewhat for training. I am only dealing with a minor foot/leg problem which is on the mend.

Knock on wood.

Blackfoot is only three months away! Whoo!

  1. I hate those first couple kilometers. That's why I dread short runs on my schedule the most because I almost never fully find my rhythm

  2. Hi, saw your comment on my blog about running in Fish Creek. Let me know when you can make it here, and I'll be happy to give you a tour. There are some awesome trails.
