West Grey Runner: December 2014
http://westgreyrunner.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Running is really quite simple for me , to run long I have to run long and to run fast I have to run fast and to run long and fast I have to run long and fast and to run really long I have to learn to run slow and eat like a horse. Wednesday, December 31, 2014. 2014 was the year of going long and running slow and well I am OK with that .planning on a repeat for 2015 but I had this stupid little dream about a 3hrs23min and well it felt pretty good.hmmm? So after R4K I am slowly going to work up to a 5:00 ...

takeoff speed: January 2015
http://takeoffspeed.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 30, 2015. Lesson three (more ascents/descents, some turns). I knew my weather luck could not last - yesterday's lesson was cancelled. Boo! Instead, I dropped by the airport for an hour to get some ground briefing in (basically a review of the relevant air exercises in the Flight Training Manual). On the bright side, I got two days of flying in a row this week! The NTSB has preliminary information. Wednesday, January 28, 2015. February 7), Around the Bay. 30k, March 29), and the Ottawa Mar...

Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Around the Bay 30K Roadrace #6. On Sunday I ran my 6th Around the Bay! We are pretty early.almost the first ones! Bringing a little bit of the trails to the road with my Pick Your Poison socks! Oliver caught this somewhere on course.struggling by then. The last 10K were rough, with the last 5K being especially rough! I haven't run with any speed/distance since PEC in October, so really happy with this result (and was even more happy to be done). Emiel on my left in black. The tri...

Wanda wonders while she wanders and races. Paris to Ancaster 70k Bike Race. April 28, 2016. In Racing. Training. Play. - wandAR. It has been awhile since I had done a stand alone bike race. Focusing mainly on adventure racing and even more so the last 2 years on ultra running. I really wanted to get back on the bike, though. So I made it a goal to balance the bike and run training better this year. I enlisted coach Jen Segger. To ensure that would happen as she is a beast on both. Barely two weeks before...

Wanda wonders while she wanders and races. Pick Your Poison Poisoned Me. May 2, 2016. In Racing. Training. Play. - wandAR. Goodness this one hurt. Is one of my favourite local races. I always say, “I come from the honey and stay for the trail”. I was excited to do this race and was hopeful on a good result. Unfortunately, things took a turn. But we’ll get to that soon enough. Looks like many suffered as dropouts were prevalent and times were 15-45 min slower than previous years. I hoped the relief would ...

The February Challenge – John McAlister
https://johnnymcalister.wordpress.com/2014/02/25/the-february-challenge
Trail Runner Chocolate Addict Ambassador for Salomon and CLIF BAR. February 25, 2014. For the past seven years, my friend Ken Niemimaa has challenged himself to run every day in February. Well, he’d probably say, every damn day. As February can be bitterly cold in Canada, it’s often tough to get out the door and run when the temperature drops below the freezing point. By committing to run every day (with an established daily minimum time or distance), it’s easier to keep consistent with training. Hi son&...

https://johnnymcalister.wordpress.com/2014/08/28/catching-up
Trail Runner Chocolate Addict Ambassador for Salomon and CLIF BAR. August 28, 2014. August 28, 2014. Guess it’s time for a new blog post. After Laura Secord 100K in April, I decided to run Pick Your Poison 50K in early May. The plan was to use this as a steady training run for the Sulphur Springs 100 Miler later that month. Big thanks to Adam Hill and Heather Dunlop for organizing a great event, especially given all the snow remaining on the course. Laura Secord Memorial 100K. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Trail Runner Chocolate Addict Ambassador for Salomon and CLIF BAR. January 7, 2014. January 7, 2014. Despite the cold weather and icy conditions, I had a solid block of training last week. As long as runners can shift their focus from pace and mileage to time and effort, winter is a great time for training. Hills, Hills, Hills. I’ve had some fantastic trail runs this winter in sketchy conditions thanks to my Microspikes. S, you will be able to run quite naturally in snowy conditions. Snowshoeing can ...

Trail Runner Chocolate Addict Ambassador for Salomon and CLIF BAR. Pick Your Poison 50K 2015. April 27, 2015. April 27, 2015. Near the end of the third loop, I moved into third place which I would retain for the rest of the race. Big thanks to Adam Hill and Heather Dunlop, race directors, for organizing such a great event. Also, thanks to all their wonderful volunteers. I’m also pleased to be an ambassador for CLIF BAR this year. For this race, I ate a vanilla CLIF SHOT gel with water every 30 minute...
