Healthy Camping Snacks and Two of My Heroes

Healthy Camping Snacks and Two of My Heroes

Can someone put a stop to the speed that this perfect summer is disappearing?

Runners Not Running: The Off Season

Here’s a fun fact for you – taking an off-season is vital enough that if you don’t take one every once and a while, you will be forced to. Trust me on this one, I am in the last camp. There are some people who can recover from race seasons faster than others, but something… Read More…

An Ode to Fat

It’s time to have a little chat about something that the average runner does not like to think about during their off-season and is fled from by most in general. Fat.  Fat has gotten a terrible rap  historically. Even worse that the knocking that carbs have gotten over the last couple of years. I am… Read More…

It seems to defy all science, but most runners who complete a long distance run or complete an endurance race such as a marathon are not hungry after the run.  There was a particularly bad scenario in 2010, when I raced a 30 KM in Toronto.

CEP Compression Winner and an Off-Season Begins!

This past weekend, I completed my final race of the season. I have never said that sentence with absolute certainty before, but after a year of solid training, racing and physical gains, I know it is time to take a rest before tackling another huge year or racing. 2014 is the biggest athletic year for… Read More…
