Polar Performance Report – October 2016

Nov4

Polar Performance Report – October 2016

October was a weird month, training-wise. I know I have lost top end fitness because I have not done speed work since August. This is always frustrating to me to let go of hard earned fitness, but the good news is, if you keep a solid fitness base, you can snap it right back up… Read More…

Happy Halloween from Laces and Lattes!

Happy Halloween from Laces and Lattes!

HIII! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! As I mentioned in my last post, I headed to the La Cloche Silhouette Trail with some friends and although it didn’t go QUITE as we planned, we ended up completing a gorgeous 60 KM hike and spent lots of time celebrating our achievement. (While also… Read More…

Why I am giving up some goals and not doing weighted squats

Why I am giving up some goals and not doing weighted squats

I have been taking a break from coaching for a month and half already with my off-season unofficially starting about a month ago. This is the first year I have chosen to take a break, rather than being forced into a break due to injury or unexpected life circumstances. The interesting thing I am finding… Read More…

Running Nova Scotia

Happy Wednesday, everyone! I just got back from travelling to the East coast for the first time to celebrate a friend’s wedding. It was a gorgeous place and the scenery was off the hook. I am finally starting to feel recovered to do more frequent workouts in my off season and I took full advantage… Read More…

Polar Performance Report – September 2016

Polar Performance Report – September 2016

As I mentioned in my last report, I took a break from coaching this month because it literally consisted of racing and recovering. It is crazy to know that the biggest races of my 2016 year are behind me, but it was a fantastic month. Distance covered: 1,018 KM Running: 265 km Cycling: 753 km… Read More…

Goals for October 2016

Goals for October 2016

So did September actually happen or did we jump from August to October, because that is exactly what it felt like! The good news is, I stroked everything off my goals list so even though it was a bit of a wild ride, it was another beautiful September. Here were the goals I set last… Read More…

The Adventure Begins…

Aug31

The Adventure Begins…

I heard somewhere recently that the truest meaning of adventure is when nothing goes right. When you have carefully made plans and in a moment, they all go up in smoke. That is my RIG team mate, Brad. He was on the way to our adventure racing camp this past weekend and his car was completely burned, which contained… Read More…
