Why Fitness Isn’t Linear

I am using this workout Wednesday to chat about the workouts that I have completed over the past month. January was the second month of my Ironman training plan and I continued to work on base. Right now, the focus is really on bike and swim fitness while keeping my running mileage around 50 KM… Read More…

Goals for February and a Challenge for YOU

Mercifully, for the kind of month I just had, I didn’t set any mini goals for January so I just kind of did my thing. I DID set some bigger goals for the whole year, but February is the first month where I am setting out some incremental goals to reach those big ones! Let’s get… Read More…

Polar Performance Report – October 2016

Polar Performance Report – October 2016

October was a weird month, training-wise. I know I have lost top end fitness because I have not done speed work since August. This is always frustrating to me to let go of hard earned fitness, but the good news is, if you keep a solid fitness base, you can snap it right back up… Read More…

Polar Performance Report: January 2016

New features EVERYWHERE on this blog! I am rolling out a few new ones as the month progresses, but one thing I wanted to start doing is a Performance Report at the end of the month.

CanFitPro Giveaway and Cycling Update

CanFitPro Giveaway and Cycling Update

Happy Friday! It’s been an unusual week for me as I ditched my car and opted for a bike commute instead. I rode through thunderstorms, ran errands and maneuvered construction sites but I made it through alive and in one piece. I’m not being facetious. I legitimately love mornings. Cycling has been a great way… Read More…

Friday Things – July Edition

This week is seriously fragmented with the Canada Day holiday on Wednesday. I am absolutely loving summer this year.
