Training for Boston in Ottawa

I checked in with the Slater St store. No go. Their training schedules peak at Ottawa Race Weekend, which is at the end of May. Boston runs at the start of April. 

Have you checked out this site?

Local tri site with an active forum......post a request to find boston bound runners there and I bet you will meet with success!  
Good luck! 

i too am looking for some training partners for boston 2010... qualified in NYC a few weeks ago!  I live in the Beechwood area as well and aiming for a 3;30 to 3:45 finish.

 

I would also advise checking out www.runningmania.com  it's another forum, mostly for running, and there are a whole bunch of people in the Ottawa area - they can probably help out too.

I found a clinic for you that peaks in April.  Judy is a local IM who recently did Kona.

Capital Roadrunners run from the Albert St Bridgehead and will have at least 5 or 6 people training for Boston.  (The majority of whom will be running Boston for the first time.)  There are also a number of people in the group training for a bunch of different distances and races.

The training schedule is on the website month by month and we're not doing any speed work in November.  I think the Boston training is going to be starting in December with long runs on Sunday mornings and speed work either on the canal or around Parliament Hill once the snow comes.  There's also an indoor track workout on Friday nights in Blackburn Hamlet.
