I'm starting to feel like an Ultramarathon Runner. This weekend the mileage was up there but i felt like i could of went for a lot more. I felt so strong trough my runs on Saturday and Sunday and had a tough time to hold myself back to respect the running pace i've set myself to make sure that i don't over train.
Saturday: Wow -18 with the windchill OUTCH cause i knew i was going to be out there for a good 5-6hours. Dressed warm i attacked the Chelsea Roads at 1030am. I decided to take a route towards Wakefield. It was beautiful, along the Gatineau River i pass trough Cascade, Vorlage and finally pass that amazing little village Wakefield. I did 55k total, in 5h05min, with a 5m32sec/km average pace. I decided to push it a bit more in the last 15k. My 10k in between the 40-50k took me 52min and my last 5k i ran it in just a bit more then 22min.
Sunday: Again another cold one -16 but the sun was out again. Again i did my run in Chelsea. Since i can't get on trails right now for my long runs i try to found routes that as a lot of hills. Sunday i felt pretty good a bit stiff at the beginning but the energy was there. I did a total of 40k, in 3h30min, with a 5m17s/km average pace. I had a little bit of soreness in my shins after my run but nothing to severe. So i decided to celebrate my two runs and weekend with a threat at The Chelsea Pub with there famous burger and poutine and a awesome pint of Guiness with my friend Erin. YUMMY!
