Are lotteries a good way to manage admittance into popular trail races?

Are lotteries a good way to manage admittance into popular trail races?

In my head, I can run a lot longer and a lot faster than I actually can. I call it “small dog syndrome”. What do I mean? I used to own a little Yorkie named Wilson and he would attack other dogs that were 10 x his size. It didn’t matter. In his head, he… Read More…

Chase the Coyote and Rumble

Thank you all so much for your support on Monday’s post. It has not been fun being injured, but I have tried to make the most of it and have been working hard at perfecting my swim stroke! I wanted to talk about last weekend for a second. It was the first race that I… Read More…

Controlling Pre-Race Nerves

Heeeeey! It’s the weekend and I am so ready to get outside! We have been hit by a wave of lovely weather and the last thing I want to do is let it go to waste. I wanted to talk about something that I know a lot of runners deal with before a race, especially… Read More…

Sports Taping for Runners

Sep24

Sports Taping for Runners

It’s Wednesday which means that I just survived my first huge event at work. I had been informed by my boss that if I can survive this month, I can survive anything this job throws me, so I am relieved and quite frankly, ready to sleep for a week. My training took a back seat… Read More…

Marathon Gear

Marathon Gear

Hey loves! How was your weekend? I spent most of it working – it has been the most intense workweek of my career so far and I loved the challenge, but my training took a backseat. I am also dealing with an injury right now, so it was wise to rest and focus on my… Read More…

Trail Running Q&A

Trail Running Q&A

Good morning! I am a tad sleepy this morning but it doesn’t even matter. Last night, I went and saw Les Miserables which is my favourite musical of ALL TIME. I am a bit of a Francophile so seeing the show live made me lose my mind a little. (And also explains why this post… Read More…
