My name is Adam Hill, I am a new Running Free Team member.
On Saturday May23rd I ran in the Sulphur Springs 50 mile trail run.  It was a beautiful day sun was out and the course was dry and fast, minus the rolling hills.  Rolling hills do not roll that well by about the 40th […]

 
 
I’ve tried some bottle belts/waist packs in the past but have never really been a fan of them.  Since I decided to start to run some longer trail races I knew I needed something along these lines though.  After looking at the various options at I decided to give the Nathan Trail Mix a try.  […]

Finally we are getting few off road tri/duathlons “nearby”! Indeed, they are still located in the US (Damn, when on the canadian east coast???) but on the north part of NY state so not too far driving. This year, the XTerra Lake Placid end of August (http://www.triandduit.com/xterralakeplacid/Home.html) has been added to the XTerra Skyhigh in July (Grafton […]

This can be seen as the manual of how not to do a race. I hope some other people can learn as much from reading this as I did from experiencing it!
I arrived on Saturday morning in Mansfield Outdoor Centre with a fair bit of enthusiasm for the race that day; the Epic 8 […]

I just returned from Ironman 70.3 Florida held at Disney World. This was my first half-iron distance race and I had one of the best experiences possible for my first time.
On race day, the water temperature was ridiculously warm (wetsuits not permitted - so I bought a swim skin) with a nice flat surface. The wave starts also made […]

This winter was a different one for me with respect to training. I’ve quickly learned that being a devoted father certainly cuts into ones training time, and preparation for the upcoming season. What used to be a 5 run week in the snow with a few spin classes thrown in […]

Having travelled back and forth to Moscow and the surrounding area for the past six years I finally managed to get moved here on a permenent basis. That being done it was time to get ready for the summer season, particualary a week of hard cycling in the Italian Dolomite mountains in July. With cycling in […]

I’ve never been able to do Sean Roper’s annual Storm the Trent race in May because of a long term conflict with another commitment I usually have on this weekend.  When this commitment was moved ahead a week this year, […]

 This year was my first experience with the Seaton Trail race.  I’d like to say it will have been my last, but this race kicked my butt so hard that I’ll have to return in a year or two (once the nightmares have stopped) […]

When: May 2nd, 2009.
 For the past few years, Frontier Adventure Sports & Training has put on their first race of the season out of Deerhurst Resort in Huntsville. This event has become a favorite early season race of mine, for several reasons: 1) As much as I […]

Once again, it was this time of the year when i get truly excited to participate into the Wildflower triathlon, which is by far-and for my 5th time now-my best event in North America.
After a day of sightseeing and shopping in San Francisco, my client and I took the road south to Lake San Antonio, Paso Robles, Central […]

Time: 8am
New route, larger numbers, same old Sporting Life 10km. That’s my assessment of this event, a race that I ran eight times previously before taking part in the 2009 edition.
The biggest change came to the final 3km of the race route. For the first time in recent memory, the start line was no […]

Time: 10am
Location: Markham-Stouffville Hospital, Cornell Community
If this race report seems to be a week late in being posted, it is due in part to the fact that the results and awards took that long to be finalized.
The finishing results — or lack there of — was one of the few negatives on numerous feel-good stories for the […]

You know that the racing season is upon us again when the first of five races in the 5 Peaks series for Ontario gets underway.  The first race of the season was Chicopee held in Kitchener at the Chicopee Ski Resort on April 25th.
The course itself didn’t disappoint with pretty of uphill and downhill running […]
