I went and ran the Sun Run (10 km) and the next day I thought I’d never walk again. The road is so much harder than those treads. It wasn’t the time (49:04) as I regularly cycle 4-6 hours in a day. Those treads are the best.

I found their training helped me improve my running technique. I run more efficiently than before but their strength days do absolutely nothing for my calves to get stronger for hill running.

That's an awesome time! I couldn't do DriTri this time due to having a race the next morning but I completely jealous of the people who did it! Good luck tomorrow!
I did the 12 minute challenge last Monday and I managed to run 1.599 miles.
I ran Melissa's 10k the day after and I did my best time in three years but I was really concerned how my calves flared up at the start of Tunnel Mountain, forcing me to walk uphill.
Winterstart is in less than a month away and I need to be ready to run that damned mountain!
