Hi all: this was sent along from one of the best off-road age-groupers, Steve & Lori Whitmore from London, ON

Aloha everyone,

Some athletes may be able to stomach a wide variety of foods during a race but I usually recommend staying with your tried and true favourites. However, having tried almost every bar, gel, block etc. known, I keep finding that after 8+ hours into any event I had a tendency to stop fueling. Needless to […]

Running and Cycling’s best kept training secret for winter workouts! Come out of the “off” season in better shape than when you went in!
With the days getting shorter and the racing season over, the winter is a great time to build power and try some cross training. The winter conditioning season for runners usually involves […]

On those days that Mother Nature just doesn’t allow me to ride the bike into school, I find that I still need that cardio fix. We recently bought a couple of spin bikes for our weight room and I was getting a little bored with simply jumping on and riding the bike for an hour. […]

over Middle, or Long distance spikes. Primarily durability, protection, traction, and often shock absorption. They offer even more of an […]

“How to reduce the stink and get the best performance out of your Microfiber workout gear.”
We all have a friend who we love very much, but… well we just don’t have the heart to tell how much they really need this article. I admit I can be that friend sometimes, but not anymore because I […]

New study confirms claims suggested by compression apparel manufacturer.
When I started running longer distances in my CW-X Expert tights I did notice that I felt stronger and recovered more quickly. At first I’ll admit, I chalked it up to the old placebo effect. I mean how could tights make this much of a difference? I […]

CN Tower Stair Climb

Thursday October 18 (Saturday October 20)
Ok, so it’s not a 10 hour adventure relay or a 2-day adventure challenge but man is it ever a test of stamina (both physical and mental). Every year myself and a couple of other teachers at AHS organize a group of students to […]

Toronto Zoo

This is probably one of my favourite races; actually I look at the zoo run as my bench mark.
My first ever 10K run was the 2005 Zoo Run, so it is also my “race anniversary” as well. Since then, and with a lot of training and hard work, I […]

ARC Outventure Adventure Race
Horseshoe Resort (X-Country)
Saturday October 13th
Wind + Rain + Cold + A Bob Miller Designed Race Course = 1 Awesome Race
Just like in Collingwood, the conditions for this past weekend’s ARC Outventure Race in Barrie were less than ideal, however, that did not stop a solid group of enthusiastic adventure racers from gathering […]

There are three things that makes me want to race in Barrie:
1. A spectacular network of trails - over 100kms of some of the best single track in the province. Surprisingly they are also well maintained by an army of volunteers. Who needs to go to Hardwood Hills, when the best trails are for free?
2. […]

After a few years of rave reviews, Inov-8 trail shoes have finally arrived in Canada! Having read about the trail shoes for years and wondering what all the fuss was about, I finally bit the bullet and bought a pair of Inov-8’s. I assumed that training for the 125km Canadian Death Race would give me […]

10 Hour Solo Race
Prerace: Questions, Plans, and Recovery
Ten hours, solo, mountain biking, flat water kayaking, and trail running- a reciepe for a great race! Never having attempted something like this solo before I didn’t know what to expect from myself. How would I […]

I have been waiting for these shoes for almost a year now.  I wanted to get them last summer, but because of my small feet Montaril didn’t have my size when I tried to order them last May.  This year I ordered them in the fall to make sure that I got a pair.  I didn’t […]

Distance:  12.15 km

This is my favourite 5 Peaks event, although that may be due to the fact that it is closest to my house and follows trails that I enjoy running and riding on.  Jill and I designed this course last year in it’s inaugural […]
