Some big names from the Canadian running scene took to the roads this weekend to test their early season fitness.
Megan Wright, coming off of a very successful indoor season (including a Canadian indoor record over 5000m), showed her strength with a 33:12 win at the Monument Avenue 10K in Virginia.
Closer to home, Eric Gillis was back for his first race since his outstanding 2:12:08 marathon last Fall. He had a commanding win at Harry’s Spring Run Off in Toronto, covering the hilly 8K course in 24:20. Meanwhile, fresh off of her win at Around the Bay just 6 days before, Dayna Pidhoresky showed no signs of fatigue as she dominated the women’s field with a 27:41 run.
Dayna’s next race will be at the Canadian Half Marathon Championships, in Montreal on April 17th, while Eric will be heading out West for the Vancouver Sun Run on April 18th.
