January Training Recap: Too Much Volume and Where’s the Snow?

February 14, 2014 by Jeff Pelletier No Comments
January Training Recap

Inspired by the likes of fellow Salomon West Vancouver Ambassador Solana Klassen, I’ve decided to start doing monthly training recaps in hopes that some might find it interesting, if not a little educational, and possibly even useful. It’s already mid-February, but better late than never, right?

My 2013 Trail Running Season in Review (and a Look at 2014)

My 2013 Trail Running Season in Review

2013 was a huge year for me; my first full season on the trails since making my move from road to trail running last year. I met a ton of great people, finished some great races, and ran in some pretty incredible places. Most importantly, I managed to stay healthy and injury free which never happened while I was running road.

As I look ahead to 2014, I figured I should take a moment to reflect.

A Year in Trail Running: My Journey from Road to Trail

June 29, 2013 by Jeff Pelletier 4 Comments
Road to Trail

They say you achieve peak physical performance at the age of 27. When I turned 27 (5 years ago today, in fact) I didn’t feel like I was at the peak of much.

I had been casually ‘jogging’ and going to the gym, as most people eventually find themselves doing at some point in their 20’s, but never with any consistency. I never thought that just a few years later I would be calling myself a trail and ultra distance runner.

I figured it was time to pause and take a quick look back at the last year or so in trail running as I complete my journey from road to trail; from marathon to ultra.

This limestone monolith stands 40 metres high, ove This limestone monolith stands 40 metres high, overlooking the Katskhura River valley in western Georgia.

Sitting on top is a Monastery which was built on ruins of a ‘hermitage’ dating back to the 9th century. If you’re going to be a hermit, this seems like a pretty cool place to live, no?
While exploring the Kazgebi region of Georgia near While exploring the Kazgebi region of Georgia near the Russian border, I was struck by how much it reminded me of Nepal.

The mountains are huge here, some well over 5,000 metres high, shooting straight up in every direction from the valley floor. Towns are built on whatever little flat land there is.

I recently learned about the @transcaucasiantrail, a new route being built across the entire Caucasus Mountain range. This is one for the bucket list if there ever has been one! 🇬🇪
On Sunday, I jumped in to a 12k trail race just ou On Sunday, I jumped in to a 12k trail race just outside of Tbilisi here in Georgia. I’d met a bunch of runners the night prior from @tbilisirunningclub who were running in one of either the 5k, 12k or 23k races which started in Vake Park and took runners straight up the ridge overlooking the city.

This was just a fun run for me since I had 90 minutes of running on the schedule for that day anyway. But it was also a great chance to get another perspective on the city, while meeting more runners from the community.

The trail running scene is still developing in Georgia but @traillabrace is clearly at the forefront. I’d love to come back to run one of their longer races in the mountains up north in the Kazgebi region one day as well!
I’ve been in the Republic of Georgia for less th I’ve been in the Republic of Georgia for less than 5 days, but I’ve already managed to see and experience quite a bit of this incredible country 🇬🇪.

I spent the first two days in the capital Tbilisi where I explored the old town. I also met up with some local runners from @tbilisirunningclub at pasta dinner event where I did a short presentation, before then joining many of them at a short trail race by @traillabrace the next days just outside of town.

I then headed North to Kazbegi, near the Russian border to spend some time in the mountains for a couple of days. This area is just incredible! Finally, I made the long drive west to Kutaisi where I’ll now spend the next 3 days exploring some nearby sites. #georgia #tbilisi #exploretbilisi #travel
Last long run in the bag! My first race of the sea Last long run in the bag! My first race of the season starts in exactly 2 weeks: a 250 km, 7-day self-supported stage race in the country of Georgia 🇬🇪.

Time to taper! Oh yea, and pack all of my gear and nutrition for the race. And like, travel half way around the world. Otherwise, I’m pretty much ready to start. @salomonrunning #timetoplay
We’re heading to Patagonia in March of 2023, and We’re heading to Patagonia in March of 2023, and we want you to join us!

Patagonia has been on my bucket list for years. 🌄Together, we’ll explore mountain glaciers, deep blue lagoons, and incredible views from Argentina to Chile. We’ll be doing a few easy to moderate hikes, so this isn’t a running trip, but we’re going to squeeze in a couple of runs as well for those interested.

The trip officially launched yesterday with @trovatrip, and we’re stoked how quickly spot are filling up! But there’s still time to get in on early bird pricing. Visit the link in my bio to learn more and to register, and don’t hesitate to reach out directly with any questions! 🌄
