If you told me nearly 20 years ago that I would be participating in one of the most epic adventure races in the world that in large part ignited my interest in the sport, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. These full circle moments that remind you of where you began and help to affirm that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be are so rare and incredibly valuable.  I remember sitting in my dorm room one evening watching the Discovery Channel at university in Australia back in 2001 when Eco Challenge - the World’s Toughest Race came on the TV,  and I was immediately captivated. I ..read more

SQUAMISH - GARIBALDI PARK - PANORAMA RIDGE FROM CHEAKAMUS LAKE Reward yourself wi ..read more

The Best Workout Apps for Runners give you more than just data. Many classic trail races have been cancelled in the wake of Covid-19. Without having goals and deadlines set for upcoming events, it can be hard to stay motivated. Recording your runs digitally and racing against your best times is a great way to stay on track. No matter what your own personal running goals entail, recording your trail runs is a great way to keep yourself on track, connect to a community of like-minded individuals and maybe even find some new trails by exploring the routes and data of other runners. Whether you d ..read more

Here's How To Stay Motivated Training for a big race is a great way to develop a sense of community around a common goal. Running groups can provide support and motivation from others who are able to empathize with the highs and lows of preparing the mind and body for race day, but Covid-19 has changed the way we’re able to interact with these communities as many big races have been cancelled while we do our part to flatten the curve. Without the in-person encouragement and camaraderie of your team, there are still a number of ways to stay motivated with your training. Mark A Cancelled Event ..read more

It’s an interesting time, to say the least - with uncertainty halting some of our key routines and activities, it’s understandable to be craving a “foundation.” Social distancing doesn’t mean stagnation. Luckily, one of the areas of life COVID-19 hasn’t touched is our ability to get outside and be active for those who are blessed to be healthy. In fact, with the current closures of many gym facilities, trails are one of few options for getting out of the house and exercising our legs...but we’re not complaining! The fact is, the fresh air of yo ..read more

Are you wearing the right kind of shoes? Okay, let’s jump straight into it - we know that the equipment we use as runners is key to maintaining not only how we run, but more importantly, our bodies. One big player is, of course, the shoes we run in. So, we ask...what’s the deal with the buzz around zero drop shoes? Let’s Look at What They Are... Zero drop shoes are a style of running shoes that have no elevation to their heel. Common examples can be seen from brands, Merrell and Saucony. A Tale of Two Worlds Like every controversial topic, there are two sides to this story. In the case of ze ..read more

It has been 3 weeks now since I had my right heel operated on. After waiting for 2 years for my turn in the surgery room, I am relieved to have closed the door of constant pain management and to enter into a new chapter, one that will allow me to return to what I love to do without the tiring aspect of a foot that constantly hurts and has a way of taking the fun out of many of my adventures! And might I remind you, I am no stranger to this exact issue. Four years ago, my left heel bone also calcified, leaving me with a Haglund’s deformity on that foot. After a successful surgery (and one tha ..read more
