Part of my off-season conditioning for hiking is running about 30 minutes / day during the winter. Happily, I can do that easily on Vancouver Island as the climate is so mild. We don’t get much snow.
Most days I run Rathtrevor Beach.

I also like running around Englishman River Falls. VIDEO.
If I don’t run, I do 10 sets of stairs. instead. VIDEO.
My best pace this winter was about 5:47 minutes / km. BUT I mostly run leisurely, stopping for photos whenever I want.
