So you just signed up for a marathon next spring and it is your first one! Now what? 1. The best thing you can do is tell people. I get it. It can be annoying to almost everyone else involved, but it helps to keep you accountable and training. 2. Find a community. Connect with… Read More…
SKECHERS Go Bionic Trail Shoe Review
It was a brutally early morning this past summer, when the sun was just coming up, that I learned that Skechers had a trail running line. I was listening to my favourite podcast for running, Ultra Runner Podcast by Range of Motion on one of my Sunday morning long runs, when I heard about an ultra runner… 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…

CEP Compression Winner and an Off-Season Begins!

Tough Mudder – A Recap
I am a proud owner of the bright orange headband that is only awarded to the insane realms who believe that crawling through mud and racing through elements makes for a fun Saturday afternoon. I completed the race on Sept 28 with a friend that I met in one of the classes I taught. She… 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…
