***Grease the groove has been the biggest game changer for getting in strength gains, and I think it’s especially useful as a parent!

From the famous :

Pick 2-4 strength exercises you do very well.

Do them super often, but spaced out at least 10 mins apart, throughout your week.

Do them fairly heavy, at weight for your 6-10 rep max.

Do a set of 1/2 of what you could.

I.e.: 3-5 reps

Clear enough? Comment with questions!

My favourite exercise to do this with is pull-ups. My max used to be 8-10 reps (10 when tapered). Now, I can hit up to 14 when tapered, and recently 5 reps with +15lbs! Never would have imagined!

After my son asked me to read some pages from Cam Haines book, ‘Endure’ on Sunday night, and happening to come across this page quoting Goggins, it was a very long 36 hours before I could train. Sometimes you have to recover, and sometimes it is tough when you read something that really motivates you!

Find those people who don’t encourage you to be a soft !! find those people who ask you about your training, about the hard things in your life, and encourage you to get back up every time.

Following a couple conversation conversations I had with clients and co-runners yesterday, I had a bit of a painful realization.

My mindset has become a bit “fragilsita!” thanks for this ! Haven’t used the expression in years—but I remember!

I think surrounding my Achilles issues I have been working through the past five months, I have become overly fixated on what’s happening in the tissues. I’ve gotten away from beliefs that have helped me transcend years of cycles of injury and time off running, beliefs that have made me realize I am not broken and I am empowered to be stronger and better every year.

These were conversations about pain science, and in other words, vigilance around injury, hyper-focussing on variables and details that seem to affect pain.

At the end of the day, I have had a couple rough weeks with sickness and stress and fatigue, and amongst that putting tremendous amount of pressure on myself to race and to fit in workouts. It should be no surprise that my Achilles are feeling a bit worse, despite all of the improvements I have made recently. I would tell my client that doesn’t mean that the tissues are necessarily worse off, but more likely their sensitivity is higher.

Yesterday, I vowed to do the rehab every other day, and then put it to rest… stop over-analyzing, stick with the plan, cross train on the days I can, stop the cycle of anxiety and vigilance, and worse pain.

The result—this morning I elliptical’d for warm up, stepped on the treadmill and gave almost no thought or power to the achilles/ankles. AND.I.FELT.TREMENDOUS.RELIEF!!

Can you relate?

Please share!

That’s a wrap, folks. BC Indoor Track Championships .athletics 1st place overall in 4:55.05. So much fun to race with the young guns. Exciting race with tons of action.

But.. Where are all the women? There’s no way Im even close to the fastest indoor 1500m runner in BC. But I showed up.

From U18, senior, to masters there were triple the men registered in the distance events-the 1500m and 3000m.

Im in awe of my young competitors. They are so strong. They want the crown. They are hungry for competition.. And so are my athletes and I. Are you?!

The track is where you build strength and turnover. It’s great for winter. Polarizing your training pays dividends, whether you’re a marathoner or 10km specialist.

Look into track meets .. they are happening, and they could be so much bigger and better. People need to give themselves a chance, and register!

Let’s go!

Months of sprints, drills, reps.

Heavy walking lunges, dead lifts.

Even more months of achilles rehab.

Every iteration on heavy achilles loading.

I have spent hours standing on Blocks, foam pads, wedges.

This block has tested my will more than most.

Tomorrow we go to battle.

The weights are feeling really heavy, and life feels lighter and lighter!

Glory to God!

Three years ago on my birthday, which is coming up in a month, I ran a marathon pace workout with a friend , for fun, not expecting to discover anything in particular, except for to suffer profoundly.

I was surprised to have felt so emotional. I was brought back to my college days, when I used to suffer alongside my teammates daily.

I dreamt that day that I would one day have a group of dedicated ladies to coach and train alongside.

That dream has become a reality. We’re small, but we are mighty. I am so grateful! Prayers are answered.

So grateful to have been able to do the 1500m prediction workout with my athlete, Michaela this morning !

We will step into the arena, next weekend: BC Indoor Track Championships .athletics !! Looks like it will be a great turnout.

May it be blessed.

“Raising the ceiling,” by running fast early in the season is a big part of my philosophy as a coach. Train weaknesses first. Train strengths close to your goal event.

I really don’t want the pain of doing this today. And I would way rather hammer at TH and VO2max all year. I know what I need to work on though..

Lets get it.

Finding Im thinking of this, and the training, more and more!

Of course, Im overly excited about the upcoming track and road race season, but the goal of a podium one day is pulling!

How does it fit in?

Can one continue improving run performance while focusing big time on strength development? Can a sub 1:20 half marathon and sub 2:50 marathon co-exist with sub 1:05 hyrox?!?

2025 some lessons and highlights.
1. Repetition, repetition, repetition. My kids are a constant reminder of this. Jackson rides a pedal bike now, and Mim strides! Introduce it early, and just keep on putting them on the bikes! This is huge for me, since Jackson can do a good easy pace with me on runs now!!

2. Consistency!!! Show up. Day.after.day. In March, my L ankle became incredibly painful, after doing 2-track workouts, and a MP session on the greenway with an athlete. The cumulative load for the week on the ankle was too much. Months and months of training and rehabilitation culminated in my first half marathon victory at Conquer the lake in June, and a PR 1:24:39. I was mind blown. I never took more than 3-days off, and every time I stressed the joint with a trail run (had to—CTL is partially on dirt path), I had pain, and the next day it would be significantly better.

3. Put Faith first. In July, we got baptized Orthodox Christian. I was previously Catholic, and we had started going to church a couple years prior, after leaving God and the church, almost entirely for over 10 years. I am so grateful for the Orthodox community here in Kelowna. The struggle has been a joy. I kept putting one foot in front of the other, still struggling with pain in my ankle, especially with faster running. The day after our baptism, we raced midsummer 8k, and it sucked. I had pain in my ankle the whole time. I did a quick swim in the lake after, and it was so painful to flutter kick—worse than running. It exposed something though, so I trusted it, and we started swimming every day, kept up the rehab, kept up the Vo2 max + paces that caused pain, and alas, by September, and the Fast days 5k, ankle was finally better! I ran a 5k PR 17:57! The rest of the season I struggled with achilles tendon pain, but this I could live with! Finally, following the Hyrox training/taper and recovery, achilles are 95% and Im starting 2026 injury free.

Goal for 2026: No injuries. Use Resting HR and overnight HRV to help guide when a rest day is warranted! Don’t be so rigid on the schedule. Taking a day easy or off today, will probably save 5 days of sickish training or totally off!

Cherry picking from Steve Mageness’ list! He’s so helpful. I pushed things too far at the end of my season, this fall. I had built in my stop point.. the point where I should’ve been switching to “play” and recovery mode, was 10-days too late. It took a great deal to recover. In my cycling days, we called it the “always fit” paradox… if you’re always fit, you get nowhere. You gotta get out of shape to get back in shape. You gotta put on sone muscle after a hard running season, and put on a few pounds to build the base again, in order to have something to lose. Point 16 has become super important in my life. I am queen at jamming everything in and then paying on Monday morning. And paying in sickness. Especially as a parent, you make choices. You prioritize. What are your top 3? To prioritize those, you are going to need to say no sometimes. For me, it has to be the social that goes. I can be social, but not every day. I can’t have my Spirituality where I need it, my family healthy and attended to, and my training on point if I say yes to every social engagement. It may fill my cup, but I have lived through the costs, and they aren’t worth it.
