Something weird is happening you guys… I got up early to run twice this week even though I technically didn’t have to. Weird right… Since it was march break and dark morning time change week I was all excited to sleep in, which I did till like 9:30 twice on non-running days. So far honey... Continue Reading →
No matter how much you love your favourite workout it can get stale after a while after that it can start to suck a bit and you loose motivation. I just started training for a 1/2 marathon this month after a winter of only running and I’m not there yet but we all know it’s... Continue Reading →
This week wasn't especially busy at work I mostly drove around for specially stuff but we did work every single day and my tutoring load was pretty typical but it was starched out over more evenings. I’m also writing and article for Sad Runner about hacking your sleep but I’m well ahead here so no... Continue Reading →
For as much as I yammer on about it running isn’t even my favourite way to stay fit. It’s at least 4th after biking, swimming and yoga at least, maybe even after that pole dancing class I took 10 years ago. I haven’t tried every sport so it might even be after those undiscovered loves... Continue Reading →
New training plan alert! All of the training programs I’ve written so far for a half marathon, an olympic and sprint triathlon have been in the same realistic series but ya’ll have been asking me for less so to speak. Previous plans have been geared to build your fitness AND confidence to cross the finish... Continue Reading →

Plus it’s the 15th anniversary and I have a big surprise to reveal for this Bluenose weekend!... Continue Reading →
I took this picture many years ago on one of my first walks with my brand new camera (at the time). Since then the shutter has closed over 17 000 times but not enough recently. I love the contrast of the still water upstream and the movement below. You have those two options this weekend... Continue Reading →
There is a slight chance people don’t know what a base is. So I’ma gonna go ahead and define it. It’s is just your weekly milage you’re running all the time before you have a green light to start a program, ideally. It’s not just a random number that coaches and writers of training plans,...

Runners are weird and totally unique sorts of people. If you are one or god help you happen to live with one you already know that. We run every weekend, we talk about every single day, it hurts sometimes, we do it late at night or first thing in the morning when normal sane people... Continue Reading →
One of the great things about running in the world is that you get to see so much of it so closely, and at least for me relatively slowly. You would never notice the perfect opportunity for a wish, a little Butterfly friend or a bunch of kids playing in the park if you were... Continue Reading →
