Runners might not get the shade that cyclists do but many drivers would prefer that we not be on the road either. After all we have a choice right? Well… it’s not as simple as you might think. Here’s the thing though drivers, cyclists runners and walkers all have a right to be on the... Continue Reading →
I’ve been a runner and I’ve had hair for a long time now. Somedays that hasn’t worked out so well for me. In fact over the years I’ve switched up how I do things because of my hair on numbers occasions because of running. Recently I’ve even chopped it all off mostly for running. But... Continue Reading →
I haven’t trained for a new distance since 2018 and even though I previously wrote a post entitled ‘why I’ll probably never run a marathon,’ I’m doing it! So whoever had age 38 in the family pool your odds are looking pretty good right about now. Of course anything can happen between now and October,... Continue Reading →
There’s a new class of races out there and more and more ‘brands’ popping up every year. They are in fact j as much fun as they look and might just be a great way to get back to racing. Since people usually start in small waves rather than as one great big group so... Continue Reading →
Unfortunately even if we take our training super seriously we still have to live our lives and that means sometimes we do things that make us hurt ourselves. That’s the boat I’m in at the moment. I’m not really sure how it happened but it has again. I’d say once a year or so I... Continue Reading →

We might realize that there are more costs involved for... Continue Reading →
Runners are a different sort of folk. We all do certain things we’d rather not admit to but I’m pulling back the veil of secrecy today and spilling the tea! We might even tell you we don’t do these things but guess what we do. So if you’re a runner and you’ve always felt a... Continue Reading →
When we think of people in our lives that are really fit and healthy we tend to think of the weekend warrior dedicated types. You know the people that are always posting medal shots of their latest marathon on social media. It seems impossible to imagine logging 50+ miles a week (and it very well... Continue Reading →
For this one everyone’s definition of endurance will be different. For me this would include a half but someone else could run that with no extra steps. For obvious reasons virtual races really took off over the last year and for some they will be here to stay. For this one we are talking about... Continue Reading →
Alright this isn’t serious but then it kinda is. I’m not someone you look at and think ‘wow I bet you she’s really strong’ quite the opposite really. For a long, long time I sort of lived up to that stereotype too. There’s no getting around the fact that I’m tall and skinny, lanky, wiry... Continue Reading →
