75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
Nope before you ask. This will not 100% prevent you from getting a running injury ever again. Even if you follow everything to the letter for decades, sorry about that. But… this IS the advice that science has proven will give you the best possible chance for preventing those pesky over-use injuries. As much as... Continue Reading →
Whether or not you’re a new runner or a seasoned one in the Maritimes we can all use a little help sometimes. On the east coast of Canada we are pretty lucky to have a vibrant running community that I would say is growing, maybe, I don’t have stats on that. It took me a... Continue Reading →
Here's the thing we're all busy, there is always other stuff that needs to be done, it's cold, rainy or snowy. Christmas, halloween or thanksgiving is just around the corner and work/home is always going to be crazy right now.

I know. I know. Some people bring literal bags of garbage home with them after a run they are better people than me and I am (mostly) fine with that. I would like to put it out there that I’ve been doing this for years before it was a ‘thing’. In case you don’t know... Continue Reading →
It's getting colder here and I have to accept that for the 36th time in a row, as far as I know, winter is once again coming. Not pleased but it's happening. The days are getting so much shorter, the nights frosty and it's happening again. This year I'm trying to put a different spin... Continue Reading →
