Targeting the Thutt

Targeting the Thutt

Last week, I had probably the most awkward autocorrect moment of my life. It all started while I was driving to Toronto for a meeting and I was taking the scenic route because of an accident on the 401.   So no, I do not drink before 10 am, nor do I like to make… Read More…

Half Marathon Series: Post Race

So you have just crossed the finish line to your half marathon. Now what? At the race: For me, the first thing I do is grab some water or gatorade. No matter how much hydration you are syphoning down during the race, there is a high likelihood that you are dehydrated. I need to watch… Read More…

Half Marathon: The Endurrun – Stage 1

Ok. So we have looked at what to expect while preparing for a half marathon, but what happens the morning of the race when your alarm goes off and it is GO TIME? I have decided to frame the discussion around a race that I did last weekend, Stage 1 of the Endurrun. Although large… Read More…

Is there too much emphasis on ultra-distances in trail running media?

Is there too much emphasis on ultra-distances in trail running media?

Raise your hand if you are a competitive runner. I have been known to be photographed running with those horrid “knife hands” (you know the ones…) and wear a look of intense focus and an alarmingly fierce expression when racing. Unfortunately, when it comes to race distances, I am just as competitive but it stops being with… Read More…

The Best Dogs for Runners

The Best Dogs for Runners

I have mentioned that I am a huge fan of running with a friend. There is nothing more motivating than knowing that there is a person at the other end, waiting for you to show up and do some work. I was thinking this week about running with friends, and I feel a partner that… Read More…

The Secret to Perfect Running Form

I mentioned that one of my goals for July was to get a gait analysis done to take a peek at my running gait and make some corrections to keep me injury free and racing towards a PR! What is a Gait Analysis? Source: Spine Surgery London aka not me According to our friend, Wikipedia: … Read More…

You Know You Are A Runner When…

20. While driving down the road, you spot a runner on a sidewalk and immediately guess her pace to see if she’s a potential run buddy. 19. You substitute GU when you run out of jelly for your PB&J sandwich. 18. Your idea of a fun friday night is mapping out a new route for… Read More…

Runner Fashion Fails

Runner Fashion Fails

Recently, one of you found my blog by searching: Hope for bleak individuals who think that a hydration belt is a legitimate fashion choice. Um. Hi. I don’t know about you, but as a runner, I have wretched fashion. Chances are, if you see me, I will not only be hungry, but I will have… Read More…

Hangry: Feeding the Runner

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you were outside at some point enjoying this spectacular weekend! It really was one of those perfect summer weekends full of long runs and bike rides, campfires, long afternoon swims, sun kissed foreheads and the annual gem in Southwestern Ontario called the Amish Auction. But seriously. Let’s talk snacks. It… Read More…
