How to Taper (And Not Lose Your Mind)

You guys are getting ANSTY! 🙂 I had a great chat with some of you this week on twitter and the topic was on tapering. Obviously, I am your spokesperson for resting now that I am off running for a while and I have been doing a LOT of chatting of what to do with… Read More…

If we were having coffee: Laces and Lattes style

Ok. It’s time to interrupt regular posting to have a very frank chat. The blog feature of “if we were having coffee”? We are doing that right now. Except it would be a latte for me. I have a confession. I am not running right now. At all.  It’s not that I don’t want to…. 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

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…

Triathlon Tips from Scott

Triathlon Tips from Scott

I have had some heavy course loads in the past in university and even worked some 60 hr weeks at past jobs, but nothing has ever compared to the week I am going through. It is a huge week for work and I am devoting every spare ounce of energy and focus to that. Because I am… Read More…

Variety in Running Training

Variety in Running Training

It is one of those weeks where you are hanging on by the skin of your teeth. It is the biggest week of the fall at work and I am not sleeping much, so if this is typo-ridden, you know why. I am on a cross training theme this week and I thought that today… Read More…

Cross Training During a Marathon Build

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…

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…
