✨20 Weeks✨

This journey has been SO cool.

I’ve known for most of my life that I wanted to be a mom and I’ve also always been curious what it would actually feel like physically, mentally - all of it.

Movement has been such a big part of my life - from track and cross country, to competing in CrossFit for nearly a decade, to now strength training and long-distance running again. So experiencing my body change while still training has been really interesting.

It definitely hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows (first trimester… 🥲), but I’ve genuinely enjoyed adapting my training, modifying exercises, and getting curious about what my body needs right now.

I’ve been fortunate to keep running so far and I even have a half marathon planned in 5 weeks 👀 Stay tuned!

Experiencing training and nutrition through a completely different lens has been eye-opening, and I already feel like it’s shaping how I’ll support my female athletes even more.

Still learning, still adjusting, but feeling really grateful for it all 🤍

If you’ve been pregnant and training, I’d love to hear what felt the most different for you?

All too often I’ll hear student athletes tell me they didn’t have time to eat breakfast… or missed a snack between classes… or barely had time for lunch before practice.

And I get it. Schedules are packed. Days are long. You’re doing your best to juggle school, training, and life.

But here’s a hard truth: If you don’t have time to eat, you don’t have time to train.

Fuel isn’t secondary, fuelling is part of training.
 Eating enough is one of the most overlooked performance tools I see, and one of the easiest places to make real gains. 💚🏃‍♀️
If this feels hard or overwhelming, you don’t have to figure it out alone. This is exactly what I help athletes with.

Building now for what’s next 💪🏼

After months of high mileage followed by a little break, it’s now time to focus on building strength and getting stronger before my next marathon training block!

Here are a few clips from my lower body workout today. Last time I did back squats was about 10 months ago because I’ve been focusing on single leg exercises - running is a single leg sport so single leg exercises are a must for runners! It was fun throwing these in the mix today!
Ive also been doing these leg extensions since my quad strain because what a great way to activate the re**us femoris 🥲

Would you like to see more of my training during the foundation season (aka off season)?? Let me know!

Post Marathon Tips 🏃‍♀️✨

1. Prioritize Rest and Recovery
Your body goes through quite the beating after a marathon so we need to prioritize at least 1 week (maybe even longer) of no running. Your muscles may feel fine after a week, but your ligaments and tendons can take up to 12 weeks to fully recover. Even if you feel ready 2-3 weeks after, focus on gentle movement like walking, easy cycling or yoga.
Don’t underestimate sleep! Muscle growth and repair is stimulated during sleep. Aim for 7–8 hours per night (and enjoy not having to set that early alarm!).

2. Eat Enough Food (don’t underfuel!)
Just because your exercise has significantly reduced doesn’t mean your intake should. Your body has a lot of repairing to do and it needs the “materials” to do so! Aim for at least 3 performance plates and 2-3 snacks per day. Focus on protein at every meal and snack, lots of colours (fruits and vegetables) and definitely still include complex carbs like grains, starchy vegetables and legumes.

3. Stay Hydrated
Being properly hydrated helps transport the “materials” to your repairing tissues, removes waste products and helps reduce inflammation. The following day include electrolyte drinks or sodium rich foods, keep sipping water and monitor your urine colour until it’s a pale yellow colour. Continue to drink enough fluids in the following weeks.

4. Listen to your body! 💚
Think of the recovery process as part of your marathon plan. If you start to gradually introduce exercise again and it takes a few extra days to recover from it, it’s a sign your body isn’t ready and you need to back off, which is okay! Give yourself that grace to take a break. All your fitness won’t be lost, I promise you.

First run outside since the quad strain 🙌🏼
This guy’s love for running is contagious. He’s the one who got me back into it a year and a half ago. 🤍🩶🤍

I’m not running the Toronto Waterfront Marathon on October 19th 🥺.

This was an incredibly difficult decision, but over the past few days I’ve been coming to terms with it. ❤️‍🩹

I’ve been building for this marathon since January — gradually increasing mileage each week, taking deloads every 3–4 weeks, and strength training 2–4 times per week so I could run 42.2 km strong.

I hired a coach in July to program my runs and keep me accountable with pacing targets. I got blood work to be sure everything was on track before peak training. I sacrificed late nights with friends, prioritized sleep, and made sure I was getting 8–9 hours each night.

I practiced carb loads, tracked my sweat rate, and religiously drank tart cherry juice every evening (haha).

All things considered, training was going well!

Don’t get me wrong — it was hard, and my body was tired — but I was always checking in with myself, making sure I wasn’t pushing past what it could handle.

That’s the thing about marathon training: you’re constantly riding the line of your body’s capacity. And this was territory mine had never trained in before.

I may not be running a marathon this year, but mentally, it feels like I did. This build challenged me in ways I hadn’t expected — physically and mentally — and I’ve learned so much about myself along the way. How could I not be proud of that? My body did some pretty incredible things. ❤️‍🔥

This is not the end! Stay tuned! 😈
