About A1

Aerobics First has been Halifax, Nova Scotia's local running, ski and snowboard shop for over 29 years, which makes us one of the oldest and most dedicated stores in Canada. What began as a simple running store with our own hand-made running-specific clothing (you should have seen the suits!), to leading the ski scene in the 1980s, A1 is now the store of choice for shoe fitting, skis, snowboards, running and winter apparel, triathlon gear and a big dose of active living culture.

The Men-durance project. Revolution is in the air.

I like to go off on tangents. You know, in case you hadn't noticed. So before I start rambling I'm going to get right into what my training week was like. I was on the track on Tuesday doing two sets of six 500s. I had 1:15 rest between reps and eight minutes between sets. Since it was my first real track workout, I went into it thinking I would try to run about 1:30. This would be 3 minute kilometer pace, which seemed realistic. Surprisingly, I had a bit more pop in my legs than I had anticipated and ended up running most of them between 1:24 and 1:27.
