The Unsexy Side of Performance

The athletic world is full of type-A rockstars. Obviously, there are exceptions, but I find I am surrounded by athletes who are committed to their training and have a bit of a mental battle if they miss a workout. Resting and recovering is just not sexy. I get it. I am pretty Type A myself… Read More…

Hazelnut Flour Recipes

For Christmas, I was the happy recipient of the cookbook, Run Fast, Eat Slow and I have had fun testing out the recipes from the book. The biggest change I have made since receiving it is making my own nut milk, specifically hazelnut milk. In principle, I would whirl it up in smoothies, use it… Read More…

2017 Race Schedule

I think I very well get the worst friend of the year award. Recently, one of my closest university friends let me know she was engaged and asked me to be a bridesmaid. My response was: “As long as it isn’t on one of my race weekends.” What I really meant was as long as it… Read More…

Workout Wednesday 2: Strength Training for Ultra Runners

Hey hey! We are back with the second feature of Workout Wednesday. You can read what it is all about here (although I imagine it is fairly self-explanatory.) This week tackles a section of a reader question I received from someone who is training for his first 50 K in 2017! Hey Jessica, Need a… Read More…

Don’t Forget to Play

This is really embarrassing to admit, but as the eldest child in my family, I would play with my younger siblings into my teenage years. Like – games that required an overactive imagination. And I liked it. I have always loved to play and dreaded the day that I needed to grow up and give… Read More…

Hammering Into 2017 – A New Partnership

As we head into 2017, there are some changes to my partnerships and the companies that I am working with. I like to be as transparent as possible because it does affect you. I try very hard to make Laces and Lattes a resource for you or at the very least, entertainment. What I never… Read More…
