Reader Questions: Ultras, Running at Elevation and Training for a Half

Happy Wednesday, loves. This week has gone by at a break neck speed due to it being a holiday on Monday this week in Ontario. I always find that I am completely thrown for the rest of the week after having an extra day off. It has been a while since I have tackled reader… Read More…

Goals for August 2015

Well that was a month that certainly did not go as planned… July was amazing but it was a little bit different on the training front that I expected. There was a moment where I was fighting back tears on the examination table where my coach said to me “Endurance sports are character building –… Read More…

Some of my favourite things and a giveaway!

You know those weeks where the weather is perfect? That was 100% this week. It could just be the fact that I am back to running and I am grinning ear to ear. Every night after work, I head out on another test run, slightly longer than the one before and gleefully report with a… Read More…

My Kind Of Weird

My Kind Of Weird

Well this week sort of just disappeared on me to be honest. Last weekend was a holiday and I was gone to Michigan for a training camp and a race. As soon as I came back, I began moving furniture out of my apartment to prepare for my move at the end of the month… Read More…

DNF and Cornstarch – What I Learned in My First Two Races of 2014

It was a dark, cold night after the Re-frigee-eighter. Our Health + Performance group was standing around our coach to hear what the workout was for the evening.
