Running Economy

Hi Gang!   Huge congrats to all the triathletes in this group who crushed it in the Muskoka Half IM and the Musselman Half IM! Madalyn, Eleanor, Carolyn and Jason. Mad respect – y’all are awesome!   I’m reading another book about running. Funny how after being a nerd about something for over 30 years […]

Exploring your pain cave

Hi Everyone!   Happy Summer! School’s out, and the heat is on. If you happen to enjoy a little less structure over the summer months, just remember that it’s still a good idea to get your runs in early if you want them to be quality. The heat has a real impact on your perceived […]

Good ol’ days

Hi Everyone!   Shout out to everyone who came out to cheer and run the Longest Day Ekiden last Tuesday! And I believe we had a bunch who ran/celebrated the Pride 5K. I won’t call out names bc it’s too many, but way to get out there everyone!   I’ve been thinking about this. How […]

Fun times!

Enjoy having so much daylight […]

Mixing it up

Hey Everyone!   Hope you all had a great long weekend. In races we had Brianna (2nd overall!), Jen and Ingrid all running the Toronto Women’s 5K! Way to get out there crew. As we all know, this is not a fast course but it is always a great event.   I was up north […]
