75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
Last week we talked about why the second time you train for a race is totally different than the first time. But today we’re here to talk about that first time you decide to tackle a given distance. I know that if you’re thinking about it and willing to put in the work you can... Continue Reading →
Today we’ll be talking about endurance and the science that we know about so far. Now you don’t have to run marathons or do triathlons for this to apply to you. On some level starting at the 800m mark endurance starts to play a factor. I doubt you’ll find a runner out there that could... Continue Reading →
I think I have it pretty easy in this regard, now at least. I’m working on planning my race season this year and toying with the idea of doing my first marathon. Now at least no one thinks that’s crazy for me anymore. Honestly I don’t think any of my friends and family ever did... 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 →

Will you win maybe but also probably not. If it’s something that’s even a little bit on your “maybe I want... Continue Reading →
I’m kinda excited to write this one because this year I can compare what I actually did to what I said I was going to do, hint it’s more. I think it’s pretty important to plan a race season so you don’t blow your budget (fail), stay injury free (check) and actually accomplish your main... Continue Reading →
Part of the reason I wrote a post about race bibs a few weeks ago was in preparation for this post. You can tell from the title of this post what I decided to do but I did have the opportunity to think about it, which I did first. But I ultimately decided to report... Continue Reading →
This is what I do and if you’re at a loss, a first timer or you need to step up your game I think It’s a pretty good place to start. Attached to this post is a pretty free printable checklist with some spots for you to add your own thing. You’ll see that this... Continue Reading →
I keep a bucket list sort of either way I got to check a lot of things off it this summer and once again it got me thinking. While I don’t actually write it down I can tell you what’s on it! What makes a good bucket list, how should you curate it and maybe... Continue Reading →
