Forty seven seconds is not that much time, although at the same time it feels like an eternity. I have continued to reflect on my race in Rotterdam and my main consensus is I was not in the zone. Immediately after starting the race I was thinking a lot. When you get in to that … More 47 seconds
Goals: the object of a persons ambition or effort; an aim or desired result. -Google dictionary I am a very goal driven person and I love working towards goals possibly even more than I love to actually go through the act of attaining the goal.

Well for me it is that time of year again—taper time. I have often said tapering is my least favourite part of the training cycle. You are in such a groove with training, and you are rocking it and then— someone takes it away from you!! Seems just so cruel. I get to a point … More Taper Crazies

I was listening to a podcast with the legendary track coach Dan Pfaff on mental resiliency and there were some things that really struck a cord with me. First one was being … More Training camp blog #1
Running is a (*can be a) heart breaker. Sometimes you give it everything you have and you spend time supporting it with appropriate rest and recovery. And sometimes it bites you in the ass. I am going to give you some real talk about how I have felt about running this past week. Because it … More Running real talk
Well we are officially a month in to the new year. How are you doing with sticking to your new year goals? And by that I do not mean have you hit the potential outcome goal you have set BUTTTT… what have you been doing in the process to make the outcome goal a reality? … More Check in: GOALS 2018
