#elevationtraining

I got in 13 loops yesterday at #hillofarace (How many loops can one do on the ski hill in 6hrs?) Same as last year. Hoping for 14 but, oh well. Great challenge and beautiful day with #yeg ‘s awesome #trailrunning community ♥️. #trailrunner #elevationtraining

Still so-much-snow! Sun came out once we had finished 🤷‍♀️. Twice to the summit today for a sweet 1500m of gain. #trailrunning #trailrunner #elevationtraining #alberta #canadianrockies

Chasing ridge lines in the Kootenay Plains. Crazy wind at the top but spectacular views. I’ve been up here in past years but forgot about the enormous colony of marmots. Fat, cute, and by all accounts, thriving. 14k and 1400m of gain. #trailrunning #canadianrockies #ridgeline #elevationtraining

25k of hill repeats at Sun Ridge ski hill ✅ Wore the dog out ✅ Such a beautiful run day!! All the summer flowers are out 😊 #trailrunning #running #yeg #yegtrailrunner #elevationtraining #yegtrails

30.41 km and 2500m gain

Runners climb hill

Today’s “hill of a race” up and down Rabbit Ski Hill - how many loops can you do in 6 hrs? I managed 13 loops (better than last year’s 11). Proud of 2500m elevation gain! BEAUTIFUL day, fantastic community. Highly recommend. #yeg #yegtrailrunners #trailrunning #elevationtraining

Hill repeats? Nah, mountain repeats… Twice up Mount Solomon today for a total of 23k and 1300m of gain. Beautiful day but pretty sloppy conditions. #yegtrailrunners #canadianrockies #trailrunning #elevationtraining
