Training Camp Nutrition

Mar30

Training Camp Nutrition

I have received a number of questions on the cycling training camp I was at earlier this month in North Carolina. We were training anywhere from 2-8 hours a day and I ended the week with almost 700 KM of cycling and 1000s of m of climbing elevation. After a few years of stage races,… Read More…

Handling nutritional deficiencies in training

Handling nutritional deficiencies in training

Happy Friday, friends! Before I dive in, remember that 72-hour race I did back in March? Well, we just released the video series on it last week and I thought I would share it with you here! (I promise I was not crying in the final interview, although it honestly sounds that way.) I did… Read More…

Mile 23: Why I’m Never Going Keto

Mile 23: Why I’m Never Going Keto

This month’s terrible race photo was chosen for a reason. It was almost a year ago when I ran the RunWaterloo Pancake Mile and today I am doing my Mile 23 on carbs or rather, lack thereof. If you need some context for the race and some fodder for making fun of me (beyond what I routinely provide… Read More…

Hazelnut Flour Recipes

Jan16

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…

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…

It’s been a week, strangers! Here are a few things I have been up to: Another thing I did was go to an appointment with my sports nutritionist and get set up with an off season meal plan. I mentioned in a previous post that I always allow myself about a month in my year… Read More…

Beets for Athletes and Nova Scotia

Cheers to the weekend!

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? I was paddling this week with Kyle, one of my adventure racing training partners, and he was talking about how quickly the summer was disappearing. I responded that it was true, but the fact that our average Wednesday night is spent in a… Read More…

Muskoka 70.3 Race Report

Well, I’ve had a couple days to process everything so I think it is time to talk about the race. Let me start by saying that I have never put this level of time, training or commitment into any singular event so it ended up being one of the most rewarding racing experiences of my life.
