Hello there! How was your weekend? I had a fabulous weekend filled with a couple meet ups with friends, a family run and attending a local play. I met up with my long time blog friend, Angela of Eat-Spin-Run-Repeat and met Christina of The Athletarian and Danielle from Workit.Wearit.Eatit. We had a lot of… Read More…
CEP Compression Winner and an Off-Season Begins!
This past weekend, I completed my final race of the season. I have never said that sentence with absolute certainty before, but after a year of solid training, racing and physical gains, I know it is time to take a rest before tackling another huge year or racing. 2014 is the biggest athletic year for… Read More…
Mantras for Runners
Let’s talk mantras. When I toe up to the starting line of any race, whether it is a speedy 5 km or a torching marathon, if I am not mentally ready for it, I am not ready for the race at all. Of course, there is that irritating fact that the less you dwell on… Read More…
For The Days You Don’t Want To Run
I thought I would use the rest of the week to tackle some of the common running questions that I get from you. The problem is, they are good questions, which means I have a long answer (per usual) and split them into two posts. Today’s question: Do you ever have days that you just don’t want to… Read More…
Time Management When Training
This past week, I received this tweet: Unfortunately, the answer cannot fit in 140 characters, so this post was born. Simply put, it is hard. I love to be busy, connected and have a problem with the concept that NO is a complete sentence so I am constantly running around when I should be… Read More…
When a Run isn’t Fun
This may come as a shock to you, but I don’t feel like running every time I go on a run. To be honest, the days that I want to bail out are rare and often the laziness occurs after I have started. All it takes is one, niggling thought: I don’t want to do this…. Read More…
Why I Chose a Running Coach
There comes a point when this doesn’t cut it anymore: I love to go, but I also want to go FAST. Unfortunately, training on the back country roads is not as motivating as it should be for my tempo and interval workouts. I had taken a break from training with a group after graduating,… Read More…
Running in the Rain
So this happened this weekend: I was in Toronto all day on Sunday, so I knew I would need to get up nice and early to tackle my long run on Saturday morning. I awoke to a dark room and the sound of pouring rain. Not exactly the motivation I needed to roll out… Read More…
Running and Racing on a Budget
One thing I did not anticipate when I first picked up a pair of running shoes is the cost. It is possible to manoeuvre the sport without much break to the bank if you aren’t planning on eating well, replacing your shoes very often and only going out for the occasional jaunt around the block. However,… Read More…
Dealing With a Cold While Training
When I get a cold, it literally happens overnight. I go to bed feeling completely fine and I wake up to a scratchy throat, sore bones and stuffy sinuses. Welcome to my week thus far. Getting a cold doesn’t need to stop your training in it’s tracks, but it is important to understand what a… Read More…
