So, I don’t want to be dramatic or anything, but I literally went on the BEST run of my training plan this summer on Sunday. It was raining, I got a late start, I had raced the day before, and I was only supposed to run 32 km as I started to taper for the… Read More…
Nutrition for Athletes and a Giveaway!
Good morning! I hope you had a wonderful weekend full of relaxation and activity! I had a few adventures including meeting the drummer from Switchfoot when we went to their concert in Detroit! We had a few misadventures on the way back which meant our drive home was much longer than expected, which meant I… 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…
September Goal Checkin and Five 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…
