New Feature: Mile 23

Feb27

New Feature: Mile 23

The other weekend, I was having a bear of a day. Nothing was going quite right and I was angrily driving errands when the concept for this particular feature was born. Occasionally I do sponsored posts or product reviews and while that is an important part of being a blogger, I strive to hold on… Read More…

How to Set Up Your Bike Training Space

This past weekend was a long one in Canada and we got Monday off. It is a newer holiday called Family Day and unfortunately, all of my family members were travelling in the US, so I decided to take their lead and headed to Michigan. It was an amazing weekend of visiting friends and sharpening… Read More…

Picking the Right Bike Trainer

As I have jumped right into my training for my Ironman, I have been receiving a lot of questions about the bike. Specifically, indoor bike training. There are a lot of things that I want to talk about in regards to this so I am breaking it out into a series. This week, we will… Read More…

Why Fitness Isn’t Linear

Why Fitness Isn’t Linear

I am using this workout Wednesday to chat about the workouts that I have completed over the past month. January was the second month of my Ironman training plan and I continued to work on base. Right now, the focus is really on bike and swim fitness while keeping my running mileage around 50 KM… Read More…

Goals for February and a Challenge for YOU

Goals for February and a Challenge for YOU

Mercifully, for the kind of month I just had, I didn’t set any mini goals for January so I just kind of did my thing. I DID set some bigger goals for the whole year, but February is the first month where I am setting out some incremental goals to reach those big ones! Let’s get… Read More…

Pilates with Merrithew and a GIVEAWAY

Pilates with Merrithew and a GIVEAWAY

I love trying new things. It’s how I got finagled into expedition length adventure racing and donning a pair of pink fighting gloves for Muai Thai. When I was given the opportunity to try a Pilates class at Stott Pilates, I was completely intrigued. I have taken a number of pilates style classes at various gyms… Read More…

Workout Wednesday 6 – Bikram Yoga

Hey friends. I am currently typing out this post with socks stuffed with ice wrapped around my head. Although it is a fantastic look, I am not doing it for the fashion but rather to heal up my face as soon as possible. I had my wisdom teeth removed on Monday and although everything went… Read More…

January Coffee Date

Guys. Last week hit like a load of bricks. Let’s have coffee and catch up. Firstly. My grandma died last Thursday on the same day that I received some pretty big news at work that will make my spring a wee more stressful. I handle stress relatively well, but I was still over the moon grateful… Read More…

The Unsexy Side of Performance

Jan18

The Unsexy Side of Performance

The athletic world is full of type-A rockstars. Obviously, there are exceptions, but I find I am surrounded by athletes who are committed to their training and have a bit of a mental battle if they miss a workout. Resting and recovering is just not sexy. I get it. I am pretty Type A myself… Read More…
