The Running Jackal

This channel is a collection of voice recordings that capture little slices of my life here in Victoria. Most often, I’m out on the running trails, sharing the sounds and stories I encounter along the way, but sometimes the recordings wander into other moments too. Each episode is usually trimmed down from longer sessions, keeping things focused and under an hour so it’s easy to listen to. I like to think of it as a mix of running journal, local atmosphere, and personal reflection. I hope you enjoy

Downtown Adventure Ride

The Running Jackal ·

2024/07/04

Today is Thursday, and I'm off on another adventure. My first stop is the rec center, where I'll do some indoor biking and then wade in the cold, shallow pool. It's a nice sunny day, and I plan to be done by about 11:00. After an hour at the rec center and a 30-minute bike ride downtown, I need to visit a Chinese shop for some special ingredients. I've been having some issues with my Achilles heel, but I'm hoping a few days without much running will help.

Merriman Trail

I ran the Merriman Trail on PKOLS (Mount Douglas) with my wife, Norma. This moderate trail took us through forested areas with diverse flora and fauna. We enjoyed scenic views of the ocean, Mount Douglas, and Victoria. Accessible year-round, the well-marked trail was perfect for a good workout without being overly strenuous. We found it a convenient and enjoyable trail run

2024/06/16

I ran to work today from the top of Johnston Street after getting off the 28 bus. I needed to be there by 7:30 to get the dish-pit up and running for a busy day at my part-time job. The early morning was cool and quiet, a nice contrast to the hectic day I knew was ahead. Once I arrived, I jumped right into getting everything set up, from preparing the sinks and organizing the cleaning supplies to ensuring all the dishes from the previous day were spotless and ready to use.The first few hours flew by

2024/06/09

Mostly heavy breathing on the video based episode...This morning, I tackled a challenging hill repeat workout on Mt. Douglas in Victoria, BC. After setting up my music and adjusting the volume, I started running up a steep hill. My heart rate quickly climbed from around 70 to 133 BPM, pushing me into zone three for a tough workout. After a combination of running and hiking, I eventually reached the top of the hill, touching my usual post before heading back down. On the way down, I filmed the run

2024/05/29

During our run, we discussed the meadow's plants and insects, noting how taller plants could avoid being eaten. We found and tasted a salmonberry, which was delicious but needed to ripen more. We talked about the health benefits of running compared to medication, despite some physical discomforts. Crossing creeks and navigating muddy trails, we appreciated the sun and hoped for trail drainage after the rain. Finally, we planned our route, including Glen Denning and Churchill Drive, aiming to

Shooting from the Hip

The Running Jackal ·

2024/05/25

Good morning everyone, Carlos here. Today I'm trying a new technique for my running video by using a chest-mounted camera on a waist strap, which is lower to the ground and further from my voice. This is a test to see if it's more stable than when mounted on my chest, despite the wind noise issue. I haven't yet rigged a wind sock for the camera, but I'll be running along San Juan Avenue and through the forest of fun towards Mount Douglas. As this is an experiment, I'm curious to see how it performs

Good morning! I'm heading out for my last big run of the trip, retracing the route I took on the first day up to Maria's Peak. It's about 7:20 a.m., and I'm passing some local landmarks like the seldom-open bakery and the bus stop. As I approach the mountain, I remind myself to take regular walk breaks and enjoy the journey. I've just switched to my trail shoes to handle the rocky terrain better, and I'm excited to reach the top, where I'll give you a fantastic view from the monastery. Stay tuned

“Buenos días” from Pollença! During our month here in Mallorca, we've been mostly doing morning runs. They range from 3k to 8k routes, and sometimes I'll extend them if I'm feeling up to it. I love hitting the road early when it's nice and cool. The best parts are reaching those lookout spots, where we can see the whole town and those amazing mountain views. It's like the perfect way to start the day, just soaking in all that beauty while getting in a good run. Overall, Pollença has been treating us

"Buen día” from Pollença! This morning, I embarked on an invigorating out-and-back run through the undulating terrain of Colonya Valley with my old running friend, Allen. As Canadian expats in Mallorca, we relished the rugged peaks, lush farmland, and serene olive groves, accompanied by the melodic symphony of bird song. With each stride along the country road, we embraced the moderate effort zone running, feeling the heat of the sun reminiscent of our runs back in Valencia. Today's adventure was a
