Fast Trax 50K

Jun 19, 2012

I ran the Fast trax 50k last Saturday at Gold bar park.   This is a great local event put on by Jack Cook and his crew from his run and ski shop.    This was the second year I have ran this event (last year I did the 30k), and it was great to see the numbe…



This was said to me by someone at the gym after I had finished a run on the treadmill and kicked off my shoes and spent a few laps walking around the track to cool down. This got my brain working around the issue of barefoot and shod debate.   A few thoug…


Long Day

Aug 30, 2011

Raced Ironman Canada yesterday.   This may have been one of my toughest days on a race course yet. The goal is always the same for me barring conditions, have a personal best and no injuries.   In 2009 I came in at 10hrs and 8min.   For this year I would …

It was quite a roller coaster ride up to the Death Race.  Our team, made up of Graham Glennie, Arri McWatt and myself, as team ST. Albert Physio, were going to run the 5 legs, just the three of us.  After my bad experience at Coeur d’Alene Ironman, I had a…


Inov 8

Look Ma no shoes!

Jan 15, 2011

Ran on the treadmill (would run outside but snow and -25) today for 4miles in my barefoot shoes (terra plana).  this has been my longest run yet.   Normally I run at a fairly conservative pace but today I upped it for 2 miles (6:50). Feet and legs feel gre…


Yoga

Dec 13, 2010

Last week began my return to hot yoga.   For some reason it is always the thing that if I am tight for time during the week I skip.   This is frustrating for me since, I always feel stronger and faster during training when I incorporate it into my training…
