75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
As runners no matter how fast or slow we are right now, as much as we say we don’t care, we’d all like to be a little faster. In fact we do crazy things like run up and down the same hills over and over just trying to get a hair faster. But rarely do... Continue Reading →
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 →

I’m a very average now and I’m damn proud of that. It didn’t happen overnight in fact it took about three years of getting really serious, staying dedicated and lots of determination to be this average for me.
