It felt great and was much faster than the last couple of runs after lunch. They're still doing work on the trail so I ran a stretch on the BC Hydro right of way but it was short compared to the overall run. Here's the map:

This was not a great run. I couldn't keep my heart rate under control and just felt sluggish the whole way. Here's the map:

The PBS show Nova recently took a group of 13 novice runners and trained them to run the Boston Marathon. The show is available to watch online. I found some time to watch this last week and found that I enjoyed it. I think some of the science aspects were a little too simplified, but the intended audience probably has no exposure to Noakes or Maffetone. At the end I was cheering for the group as they crossed the line.

I just wasn't able to get out for a run during the day so I ran in the evening after the family went to bed. I've decided to increase my MAF heartrate because I'd incorrectly calculated it before. I was previously limiting myself to 134 BPM. I don't know how I got this limit. Using my age and the 180-age formula I come up with 146. I subtract 5 for the break I took this summer which brings me to 141. I don't know how I got to 134 before. Here's the map of my run:

This run felt like I had to keep pushing myself to keep my heart rate up near my target. Part of that was the stiff legs from yesterdays long run I'm sure. Here's the map:

I took a similar route to my old run along the bike paths. I decided to avoid the bike path in the dark for security reasons. I just don't know who's hanging out on the path. I know there are a few homeless that live in the bushes along the bike path and wouldn't want to come across them alone in the dark. It was nice to see Burnaby in the dark and quiet. When I finished the run, I felt like I could keep going so this low heart rate is working for me. Here is the map:

Flat wooded narrow walking paths make for a good break from the city. The only downside to this run was the closure of a small section for construction. This created a detour on the BC Hydro right of way next to the freeway. Not horrible, just not as nice as in the woods. Here's the map for today:

Daylight Saving Time has come to an end on the west coast of Canada and it was time to change all my clocks back this weekend. When it came to changing my ForeRunner 301 back to Standard Time I took a quick look for updated firmware on Garmin's site but found nothing new. This leaves me turning off DST manually. I posted instructions for turning DST on a few months ago. Follow those instructions and instead of switching to On, switch the setting to Off.
