I recently did an Instagram story update on my morning routine that includes measuring my HRV. I have received a few questions so I thought I would put it in a post and share some of my biggest learnings from it. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a method for assessing the effects of stress on… Read More…
Polar Performance Project and Goal Wrap Up – December 2016
In the spirit of efficiency, we are looking at two things today so I am going to try not to be long-winded. I wanted to take a quick look back at my training and racing in December and how I did on my goals before jumping into what I am aiming for in 2017 (coming… Read More…

Why I am giving up some goals and not doing weighted squats
I have been taking a break from coaching for a month and half already with my off-season unofficially starting about a month ago.

Coming To Terms With The Gender Divide
When I first started adventure racing, I made three simple rules to follow during a race to prove I was strong enough to belong racing alongside my male counterparts: 1. I will not complain 2. I will not cry 3. I will not quit And so far, I have only kept one of them because… Read More…
The Adventure Begins…
