It is no secret to anyone who has been following along that I have shifted my racing focus to multi-sport for 2017 and I am really loving the training and lowered impact from increased cycling and swimming. I love the challenge of learning new sports and honing new skills, but sometimes it feels great to… Read More…
April 2017- Polar Performance Report
I normally don’t post on Saturday’s but I had a bit of a crazy week at work that took up my evenings which is when I do most of my blog work. All that to say, today, I am relaxing and doing some catch-up work as I do a mini taper day for the Mississauga… Read More…
Goals for May 2017
Happy Monday, friends! I hope you all had a great weekend. I did a heavy training weekend with an adventure racing training camp, a long run to prepare for the Mississauga half marathon next weekend and a long indoor ride on Sunday. I love long rides outside, but the weather was in the negatives and… Read More…
Mile 23: Actually No, I Don’t Want To Pay for Your Vacation
I chose this month’s Mile 23 photo because I look utterly ridiculous and I seem to have developed bingo wings. But we aren’t here to nitpick – the reality is, it represents a really fun, happy day for me where Mark and I decided to try a duathlon the week after our first 70.3 and… Read More…
Goals for April 2017
What a fantastic March! I had a fantastic month and I owe it largely to getting a new team member at work. I know I don’t spend much time talking about work on the blog, but February was a brutal month being down a person and I actually had started to dread work every day… Read More…
March 2017: Polar Performance Report
Happy last day of March! I thought I would get a little bit ahead of myself and share a performance report today to wrap up the month nicely. I can hardly believe that we are already into spring, but I am thrilled. I cannot wait for outdoor long rides, firing up the BBQ and starting… Read More…
Mile 23: Why I’m Never Going Keto
This month’s terrible race photo was chosen for a reason. It was almost a year ago when I ran the RunWaterloo Pancake Mile and today I am doing my Mile 23 on carbs or rather, lack thereof. If you need some context for the race and some fodder for making fun of me (beyond what I routinely provide… Read More…
March Coffee Date
Ok. Time to have another coffee date. This is appropriate because I had a coffee saturated weekend. Yesterday alone, I visited three different coffee shops because it was the weekend and it is my favourite place to have good conversations with the awesome people in my life. So, let’s have a good conversation, shall we?… Read More…
Secrets to Fuelling for an Ultra-Endurance Event
On Monday, I discussed the race. Now I will get a little more into the nutrition side of what made me successful both in the race and recovering from the race. I took three days off and more or less jumped back into training. I have been more gentle with myself in the past couple… Read More…
Ticking Boxes – February 2017 Polar Performance Report
This is one of those “better late than never” scenarios, I am afraid. I wanted to pause this month to talk a bit about last month’s training. February Training Distance covered: 737 KM Training hours: 45 SWIMMING: 4.5 hrs. VERY low month for swim volume. Oops. This has a lot to do with pool accessibility in the… Read More…
