Hi All! If you got out and braved the elements running this past weekend – congrats to you on that! I think we had everything from rain to hail to snow to gale force winds depending on where you were. So way to go – we’ll be able to handle this winter! This week we […]
Hi All! I feel like I just said “Happy Fall” and now it’s “Happy Winter”! As always it seems to have come on suddenly. Three weeks ago we were over-heating in the TCS Waterfront marathon, and now we’re bundling up. Seriously though, this does take some adaptation for our bodies, so just be patient with […]
Hi All! One week after our teammates ran a marathon in way too hot conditions, it is now objectively cold out. Life isn’t fair! Can we please always just train hot, race cold. Also, don’t forget to wear your lights out there. Cars do not expect pedestrians to be moving at the speeds we move. […]
Hey Gang! Congrats to all who ran the TCS Waterfront Marathon this weekend! Michelle S, Sam F (BQ!), Sam R (PB!), Jeff S (BQ!) and in the half, Cindy, Madalyn, Carol and Zoe look like they all had solid days. And thanks to our cheer squads out there! I heard from athletes that you were […]

Hi Gang! Huge congrats to Miguel who ran the Wineglass marathon on the weekend! I think there is a story there – we’ll have to hear it next time you’re out. And in Toronto a bunch of us ran the Toronto Women’s 5K: Erin (1st in AG), Brianna (2nd overall, 1st in AG), Monica (1st […]
Hi Everyone! The great fall weather continues! Hope the tapering marathoners are really enjoying it. I will say, it’s perfect for runners at all stages – even those coming back from injury. Run/walk in minus 20 degrees is just too complicated to dress for (If you know you know). Below is a guest post by […]
Hi Gang! Happy actual official Fall now that we’ve passed the equinox. This is the best time for running with cooler temps, beautiful colours, and still enough daylight to admire them! Let’s enjoy this while it lasts. This week I’ve been thinking about the stories we tell ourselves and how we process our performances. I’ve […]
Hi Everyone! No races that I know of this past weekend – lots of people are right in the thick of training and doing so well! This is the crescendo of hard work for many – it’s ok if you’re feeling tired and looking forward to the end at this stage – that is […]
