Cross Training During a Marathon Build

Sep15

Cross Training During a Marathon Build

Well, that was an awesome weekend. I was going to forego applying to Boston this year due to it being bad timing with work and it not fitting well with my overall strategy with racing next year, but I was coerced by some friends in Boston and I am increasingly delighted that I was. 2015… Read More…

What I’m Loving More Than the Cold

Greetings from the corner of the world that thinks it’s winter. Almost overnight, I have gone from wearing tank tops to shivering in a coat. I have moved my training indoors due to thunderstorms this week and I am itching to get back outside! Instead of dwelling on the summer that was too short, I… Read More…

Caffeine and Runners

Caffeine and Runners

It’s been one of those ‘blink and you’ve missed it’ weeks. It may be because I have been busily tackling my list of goals for September already, including getting in my first squash session of the year as well as going to my first Muay Thai lesson ever! It is a busy week that is… Read More…

Minimal gear and trail runners – inspiring or reckless?

Minimal gear and trail runners – inspiring or reckless?

WHYYYY. That is how I feel about the fact that fall is coming. Where did summer go? If I had my way, I would be roasting marshmallows, running on beaches and wearing sundresses all year round. Thankfully, fall is a beautiful race season and I am looking forward to tackling some great races this month:… Read More…

Goal Setting for September

Happy holiday Monday everyone! I am blissed out this weekend, spending time training, relaxing and with friends and family. Basically the perfect holiday. It is so hard to believe that we are headed into September, but I saw a pumpkin spice latte at my local Starbucks the other day, so it must be true. What… Read More…

Core Exercises for Runners

Hey hey! How was your weekend? Mine was fine, you know…just ran a marathon.   I will be writing a recap on Friday but just know that the carb load was ridiculous. I have never done such an exaggerated preparation before. It is hard to feel like you are doing the right thing when you… Read More…

Goal Setting for August

Hi friends! Happy holiday Monday to my Canadian readers! I got in late last night from Michigan – I spent a sun-soaked day running trails and lounging by the lake before heading home in the evening so I am posting this a little later than normal.

Track Drills and Beet Juice

Welcome to the first week of August, friends! It was an awesome weekend for me that was a perfect balance of relaxation and hard work!
