ADVENTURE RUNNING IS FUN (AND HARD:)

http://www.elmhealth.com/running_clinics.html

We kicked off the first of 3 Adventure Running clinics last Thursday and MAN is it awesome to be back in the TRAILS!

Last Thursday We ran the classic Cumberland XC trails and did a 10minute full out trail speed interval to the back of Allan Lake...killer lung burner!

Here is my group at the back of Allan Lake in Cumby last week...

They don't even look tired...too much rest time...

LAST NIGHT we ran in the Comox North East Woods and managed to find a really BIG HILL to trail on...Full out effort for 60/90/120seconds up the super steep Queens Ditch Hill made not only the lungs but the LEGS burn (for me anyways!). Great running crew!

Post hill cooldown...wait a minute...that is on an uphill too...ooops I forgot about that one! Great run!

What next? One more weekend of heavy training and trekking for me before my MOMAR taper begins...2 weeks until Squamish MOMAR http://www.mindovermountain.com/momar/! Plans to trek and ride and trek and ride all weekend...

AND it is official...I just signed up TEAM ELM HEALTH for the 36 hour FULL MOON IN JUNE expedition adventure race http://www.fmij.com/! We were one of the very last teams to squeeze and there may only be 1 spot left before it sells out. "Sleepmonsters' here we come...

Have a great weekend:)
