It’s time to have a little chat about something that the average runner does not like to think about during their off-season and is fled from by most in general. Fat. Fat has gotten a terrible rap historically. Even worse that the knocking that carbs have gotten over the last couple of years. I am… Read More…
Dealing with Hunger after a Long Run
It seems to defy all science, but most runners who complete a long distance run or complete an endurance race such as a marathon are not hungry after the run. There was a particularly bad scenario in 2010, when I raced a 30 KM in Toronto. I finished, checked my time and curled into the car… Read More…
Putting the Quest Nutrition Bar to the Test
The one downside about having a commute for work is that I am in my car a lot of the time. Inevitably, I am driving to see friends, going to late work events or teaching a class and I didn’t prepare enough food. I have tried quite a few things from just buying it as… Read More…
Protein Pancakes
I really don’t know how protein has done it but it has somehow remained the only unsullied macronutrient on the market. Fat was kiboshed decades ago and the rise of the Atkins diet has left carbs as the enemy. Protein is the invisible middle child of sorts that has escaped the crosshairs of nutritional skeptics… Read More…

Kombucha and Digestion
I remember the first time that I heard about kombucha. It seemed scary and a little bit weird. I tried growing it in my basement, which is also scary and felt a LOT weird, especially to my mother who left a wide berth when she walked around my fermentation jar. The problem with my short… Read More…
Post Run Protein Shakes
So, I don’t want to be dramatic or anything, but I literally went on the BEST run of my training plan this summer on Sunday. It was raining, I got a late start, I had raced the day before, and I was only supposed to run 32 km as I started to taper for the… Read More…
Nutrition for Athletes and a Giveaway!
Good morning! I hope you had a wonderful weekend full of relaxation and activity! I had a few adventures including meeting the drummer from Switchfoot when we went to their concert in Detroit! We had a few misadventures on the way back which meant our drive home was much longer than expected, which meant I… Read More…
Sports Nutrition While Camping
This weekend, I am headed on a camping trip with friends for a final hurrah before donning my boots, coat and scarves. I have loaded my little car down with camping supplies and of course, running gear. I am looking forward to a weekend of music, friends and of course, the ever present training. Now,… Read More…
Why Running Helps if You Dine at Eigensinn Farm
One of the best things about being an athlete is the appetite that is attached to it. It merits texts from friends along the lines of “I need to know if you are planning on camping this weekend so I can make sure we have enough food.” Or like this weekend after completing a 100… Read More…
