Small changes in my indoor training that have made a big difference

Small changes in my indoor training that have made a big difference

This is my second winter with indoor bike training and I feel as if I have come a long way from last year. I mean, for starters, my FTP went from looking like my standard 5 KM in the first year of running (going out at full speed only to die a painful death midway… Read More…

Why I Have Been Measuring HRV

Jan15

Why I Have Been Measuring HRV

I recently did an Instagram story update on my morning routine that includes measuring my HRV. I have received a few questions so I thought I would put it in a post and share some of my biggest learnings from it. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a  method for assessing the effects of stress on… Read More…

If I were to have one resolution for 2018…

Welcome to my first post of 2018! It was an incredible close to the year for me, full of friends, family, chocolate and playing outside (despite the bitter cold that Canada decided to dish out). I took a bit of a blogging hiatus to soak it all up but I am back and ready to… Read More…

Psoriatic Arthritis – My Sport Isn’t All I’m Crushing

Right now, I am probably across the border, headed towards a weekend away with the very lady this post is about. I met Nikki about three years ago now and I have been one of her biggest fans since. Not only is she one of the happiest people I have ever met, but she makes… Read More…

Goals for December 2017

Goals for December 2017

For the last while, when I wouldn’t get up at 5:30 AM for my morning workouts, I would sleep in an extra hour. While that was nice, I decided to keep a standard wake up across the board – work out or not. The mornings that I am not sweating, I am stretching and meditating. I… Read More…

My Sport Isn’t All I’m Crushing – Vision Loss

I could not do this series without featuring Rhonda-Marie. If you are in the running community, chances are, you have met her, ran with her or at the very least, heard of her. She is a blind ultra runner (she says aspiring but I think if you have done the Barkley Marathons, you can’t use… Read More…

November Coffee Date

November Coffee Date

I have to be honest – I normally dread November. There is something about this month that is just HARD. It is grey, dull and cold. There are no holidays (at least in Canada) and the days are getting shorter and shorter. For some reason, this November hasn’t been bad. I mean, it is even… Read More…

Long QT Syndrome – My Sport Isn’t All I’m Crushing

I think this may be my favourite blog series yet. Being able to shine a spotlight on some of the most resilient athletes I know is so exciting and I have heard a similar story from all of you.
