75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
I talked just a little bit about this race in my last half training update but that was just a little teaser to get you to read this post. And it worked! See I’m really smart. I signed up for this one way, way back when I was feeling all itchy to race. I was... Continue Reading →
Anxiety is a bit of a buzzword right now and dealing with it is a big part of many people’s day to day life. Whether you suffer from anxiety day to day or not you might get more than a little anxious on race day. Even if anxiety is something you effectively manage on your... Continue Reading →
Races are all fun right? I’d be a terrible critic for movies, food, races and pretty much everything else. For the most part I just like it all! I almost never say something wasn’t good, well except some of the movies honey watches but pretty much every one with Russian gangsters follows the same plot... Continue Reading →

This was the second year I participated in this run and the second year it was held, but weirdly the first time I did it alone. That wasn’t for lack of trying though. It’s funny last year this was the first run I had ever done with someone else and this year I was (sort... Continue Reading →
Now at least where I live it’s not exactly race season but things live on the internet forever. Maybe you’re prepping for an upcoming race in the southern hemisphere, good for you but we all love some new, practical and realistic race day tips. I would love to be the super-organized, spreadsheet making, calm as... Continue Reading →

Your average runner has about seven years of potential for getting faster before they top out speed wise but the thing is that isn’t as dire as you’re thinking. It not your first seven...
