75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
The snow once again came to my little part of Canada again this week. Not as much in the picture, this was last year, but it's here!

Today is all about fasted cardio. What is it? Why do people do it? And perhaps most importantly should you do it? We will did into a little bit of science here along the way but this time I’m going to put my opinions out there at the start and that is a really strong... Continue Reading →

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.
