How to Overcome Plantar Fasciitis

Nov17

How to Overcome Plantar Fasciitis

Tis the season for injuries, or so it feels. I give incredible props to all the athletes out there who have come through an entire season of racing and training completely unscathed, in fact, that is the main goal on my list for 2015. Although I have never suffered from it myself, I have had… Read More…

Mental Health for Athletes

Nov12

Mental Health for Athletes

You guys are so supportive. Thank you for your high fives on my triumphant return. In typical fashion, I delayed the progress by doing the RAID THE HAMMER this past Sunday and although my physiotherapist and coach probably threw something across the room when I told them that I participated, they are both athletes themselves… Read More…

What I’m Loving More Than the Cold

Greetings from the corner of the world that thinks it’s winter. Almost overnight, I have gone from wearing tank tops to shivering in a coat. I have moved my training indoors due to thunderstorms this week and I am itching to get back outside! Instead of dwelling on the summer that was too short, I… Read More…

Vanilla CocoBerry Smoothie

Vanilla CocoBerry Smoothie

It is starting to feel like fall out there! I keep finding bits of coloured leaves in my shoes and the air has a bit of a bite. That has not been stopping me from getting in some quality swim sessions or spending time outside. I am probably the only female on earth that doesn’t… Read More…

Minimal gear and trail runners – inspiring or reckless?

Minimal gear and trail runners – inspiring or reckless?

WHYYYY. That is how I feel about the fact that fall is coming. Where did summer go? If I had my way, I would be roasting marshmallows, running on beaches and wearing sundresses all year round. Thankfully, fall is a beautiful race season and I am looking forward to tackling some great races this month:… Read More…

Recovery Post-Marathon

It is depressing to me that this is the second last week of August. Where did my summer go? What is NOT depressing to me is how fast I was back on my feet after the marathon. I had some sharp IT band pain the day of after I was done but I was doing… Read More…

Supplements for Runners and a Genuine Health Giveaway!

Seriously. How are we at Wednesday, guys? It may feel so unusual because I treated my Monday night like another weekend evening. I headed up to Toronto to speak at Allegra’s running clinic at the Running Room. The chat was on staying motivated in your training. From there, I headed to meet some fellow Digital… Read More…
