Float On
Reid Coolsaet has been running cross-country ever since the sixth grade and hasn’t missed a single season, although he's had to call two seasons short due to injury. For the past six years he's been trying to climb his way up through the professional ranks where this past summer he placed 25th at the World Championships marathon in Berlin.

May 31 2010Save it for later, Don’t run away and let me down
The Ottawa 10km was just what the doctor ordered. I wasn’t sure if jumping into a race for my second running workout since March 19th was a good idea but it ended up working out really well.

I officially graduated from cross-trainer to runner last week on the basis that I spent more time running than I did on the bike and pool combined.

Apr 15 2010We’ve all seen enough, now it’s time to decide
My motivation to run pain-free has trumped the drive to be ready for an early-season 10,000m. Therefore I have decided to take a little time off and completely heal my tendons.

Apr 08 2010Cause it’s a long way down, I guess you know that by now
This injury is lingering much longer than I anticipated. It’s been 19 days since I’ve been injured and 15 days since my last run. And therein lies part of the problem.

Mar 31 2010I lay close to the edge, I guess I didn’t know the ledge….
It has been one week since my last run due to my shin injury. It seems the tendons running from my foot to my leg have become inflamed. The sheath around the tendon is what is most likely causing the pain which is known as tenosynovitis.

Mar 25 2010Signed myself out today
It looks as if my 2010 outdoor track debut has been postponed. I was scheduled to race on Friday at Stanford in the 10 000m but my tibialis anterior is telling me ‘no’.

Mar 15 2010Ides of March
For the past three months I’ve been doing one tempo session, one fartlek (or track), one light speed session, two mileage days, one easy day and a long run each week (12 runs/week).

Mar 06 2010The smarter it gets the further it’s going to go
Yesterday I did a key 10 000m workout on the track. Chris and Dave shovelled two lanes of the track on Wednesday to clear enough space for an early season session.

Feb 21 2010Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
Don’t judge a workout by it’s cover (ie. the first lap).
