I didn’t get to run as much as I would have liked this week, but I’m already at about 179 km so far this month which feels good! It’s funny, a lot of people struggle to get outside this time of year but January last year was my highest mileage month ever with a total of 371 km. I must feel refreshed and refuelled after Christmas holidays.

Monday – Rest day
Tuesday – 9.6 km RUNch club road run
Wednesday – 9 km RunGo – Vancouver lunch road run
Thursday – 9.1 km RUNch club road run
Friday – 12.8 km winter nighttime trail run

This week featured large lunch run groups during the week and a couple awesome and hilarious group trail runs on the weekend.

I started off the year with a bang by doing the Club Fat Ass “New Years Day 50K and Freeze Your Fat Ass Off Swim.” But technically that didn’t happen this week. It was a slow, fun run having to navigate slippery conditions and stopping at a couple Starbucks along the way. I recovered quickly and had a fantastic week following it filled with lunch runs and trail time.

Monday – Rest day
Tuesday – 10 km RUNch club road run
Wednesday – 8.5 km RunGo – Vancouver lunch road run
Thursday – 6 km + 6 km run commutes to/from the SkyTrain
Friday – 10 km RUNch club road run
Saturday – 10.8 km snow hike
Sunday – 23.2 km trail run with Dylan (@sweatyyetica)
Total Distance – 74.9 km
Total Elevation Gain – 1,673 m
Total Time – 9h 9m

My legs only started to feel the effects of fatigue during my trail run on Sunday, but still felt strong. I’m looking forward to preparing a training plan for my next goal, the Van 100 (a double crossing of the Baden Powell sometime in May) and cranking up the trail time and mileage!

I’m on track to finish the year with a total of 3,000 km if I stick to running on average just over 10 km per day. I felt stronger this week than last and my road runs have been on the faster side for me. It seems that I’ve also found myself in an unplanned run streak of 14 days so far. I wonder how long it will last?
