Check out the News clip from the challenge!
Only 6 more sleeps until Rob and Donald take off on their 300km adventure. Check out the article in the Times Colonist. We are trying to get a group of us together to run with Rob and Donald through the week. Please check out the Royal Victoria Marathon running route.
Donald has put together a pace schedule, so that we will have an approximation of how long it will take them to reach every 5km benchmark. As the week goes by the arrival time will be closer to the second time. Please see below:
- Start: 6:00am (location – Parliament Buildings)
- 10km: 6:50 – 7:10am (location- Bushby St. & Dallas Rd.)
- 15km: 7:15am – 7:45am (location- Hampshire rd. & Oak Bay Ave)
- 20km: 7:40am – 8:20am (location- Beach Dr. & Prospect Pl.)
- 25km: 8:05am – 8:55am (location – Valdez Pl. & Beach Dr. while heading back into town)
- 30km: 8:30am – 9:30am (location – Transit Rd. & Beach Dr.)
- 35km: 8:55am – 10:05am (location – Irving Rd. & Fairfield Rd.)
- 40km: 9:20am – 10:40am (location – Oswego St. & Dallas Rd.)
The support vehicle crew will have Donald’s cell phone as a contact point, if you want to hook up somewhere on course call and see where we’re at before heading out to find them. Call #250.882.2694. Please post to the comments if you know when you are running and where you are starting, so that we can try and get a group together.
Today’s Workout:

Deadlift 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps
Cash Out – L- Sit practice 30 seconds x 4 sets
I want to do at least 1 marathon with you guys.
Probably the Saturday,the day before the big show!
They start at 6am, not 6:30am as posted above.
I really wanted to come the to 7 a.m. class today, but didn’t have enough time for travel. So, I opted to do part of this WOD at home instead. I did 6 rounds of the warmup exercises as a WOD, for time. The breathing was a LOT harder than I expected, due to my congested chest. But it was a good burn!! I finished with 6 rounds of 10 double crunch, and 6 rounds of seesaw dumbell shoulder presses x 8 per arm.
Not a bad WOD, at all. 🙂
See you guys in class tomorrow shortly after 5 p.m.!
Bones if you show up shortly after 5 p.m. you will officially be late and will need to do the late burpee penalty! 😉
Just noticed the start time up there and it should read 6:00am not 6:30am… there is no way we’re gonna run a 20 minute 10km 🙂
I saw that too!! I was re-thinking my commitment to run with you! 🙂
I think some of those other times may need to be adjusted too….?
I changed the time. The other times were what Donald gave me, so Donald are they right?
They look correct… our pace should be somewhere in the 5 to 6 minutes per kilometre range, a 10km every 50 to 60 minutes is the goal.
Donald, I regret to inform you that I do not have to do burpees!! On Wednesdays and Fridays, because there is no 6 p.m. class and I don’t get off work until at least 5, I generally drop in to the gym and do a WOD when everyone is done, by myself, at 6 pm., or start the WOD late on my own, apart from the group. Technically, I’m not part of the class! 😛 There’s just no other way for me to get in a WOD with my schedule, so I have to get creative! Plus, I ‘coach’ myself, which is very handy. 😉
