September Goal Checkin and Five More!

Sep30

September Goal Checkin and Five More!

Hello everyone! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and you are recharged and refreshed for the week. I had a bit of a different weekend. On Saturday, I headed up to Mount St. Louis Moonstone to compete in a Tough Mudder event. I will be doing a recap later, but although it was certainly… Read More…

Best Sleeping Positions for Runners

Sep27

Best Sleeping Positions for Runners

Let’s talk sleep. We all know that we need it and that we should probably get about 8 hours of it a night. Recently, however, I was talking about sleep with my sports therapist and she suggested that it is possible to sleep WRONG. Now, most people will wake up with a sore neck, feel… Read More…

Why I Chose a Running Coach

Sep25

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

Sep23

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

Sep20

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

Sep18

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…

Putting a Cap on Trail Races

Sep6

Putting a Cap on Trail Races

I will never forget the day that I found out about ultra marathons. It was a summer day in 2010 and I felt like I had discovered something that was unknown to everyone else. I remember the process clearly – signing up online, buying my first pair of trail shoes and finally, the day when… Read More…

Training While on Vacation

Training While on Vacation

Greetings from Collingwood. Apologies for the lack of communication on Monday – I took the day off to relax in the most exaggerated sense possible on vacation with my family and a few members we have adopted along the way. A few shots so far: It has been fantastic – full of fresh air, lots… Read More…

Why Running Helps if You Dine at Eigensinn Farm

Why Running Helps if You Dine at Eigensinn Farm

One of the best things about being an athlete is the appetite that is attached to it. It merits texts from friends along the lines of “I need to know if you are planning on camping this weekend so I can make sure we have enough food.” Or like this weekend after completing a 100… Read More…
