75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
We are all so pampered these days and we don’t even realize it. I’m not talking about wearables and apps but more everyday and mundane stuff. Since I’m mostly a runner I’ll probably default to that but it pretty much applies to everyone, especially those that workout in the great outdoors. There are some crazy... Continue Reading →
No two people are exactly alike and that’s sort of what keeps the world interesting. But that also means we don’t necessarily have the same natural ability to do any task. So depending on what activity you’re trying for the first time it may go great or suck balls. It’s easy to ignore a weakness... Continue Reading →
This post isn’t about me, my thoughts or my feelings but that’s still where we’re going to start today. I hang out in women’s Facebook running groups for some of my time. I like to share my insights there (and posts) and it gives me ideas for posts from time to time like this one... Continue Reading →
I’m ashamed to say I write training plans and beyond to ‘rest up’ and ‘have fresh legs’ which makes sense I’m not really sure why athletes taper at the end of a plan. I do know that it is widely considered necessary for the full marathon and beyond and debatable at the half. But other... Continue Reading →
Is there even one perfect runner out there? Probably not, but if there is one out there it isn’t me, that’s for sure! There is a lot more to being a perfect runner than just running and if your want to take your game to the next level you might have to make some changes... Continue Reading →
I live, and run mostly on picture perfect costal roads sometimes mere feet from the ocean. While it’s pretty it’s almost always freakin’ windy! By 10 am we usually deal with costal ‘breezes’ which are about 25km/hr on any given day, 40 km/hr isn’t rare either. If you’re working a training program you can count... Continue Reading →
I think runners especially have been lied to as a group. The lie we’re going to talk about today is that once you rehab an injury it’s healed and gone forever. In my experience and the experience of runners I know that’s just not the case. More often than not the same old injury pops... Continue Reading →
Pass time, hobby or sport… that is the question? Does it matter who calls what a sport? Not really but… some of those things just aren’t. Is everyone that does a certain sport and athlete? I would say yes but others may say the way I play tennis makes me a comedian a lot more... Continue Reading →
Usually by this time every year I’m at least 6 weeks into a training program and let’s just say letting other things go. This year due to a flare up of runner’s knee and you know the Covid not so much… So let’s take some time to appreciate and thank our amazing partners now for... Continue Reading →
Run streaks are when you run at least a mile everyday potentially forever. They’ve become popular lately and there isn’t anything really, really wrong with them I think you might be doing yourself a disservice by participating. Run streaks have become more popular lately and I get it, especially if like me you post ALL... Continue Reading →
