Weekly Newsletter – The Magic of 2-Minute Hills

I love hill workouts in every form.

From 3-minute hills to 10-minute hills to 90-second hills, I LOVE MY HILLS.

There’s so much magic in a hill workout for trail running, as you get the muscle breakdown of all the downhills on your rest and recovery; and get to practice pushing harder in a more sustainable, risk-adverse way.

BIG PLUS MOMENT – trail races have hills. So best to get in that practice. Best to build up those muscles.

Trail Running & Marathon Coaching

80$ CAD per month! – The best price in 🍁

I work with runners of all abilities, helping them take their potential to the next level, while enjoying their time on the trails (or roads!) in the process.

I come from a decade of coaching experience, and two decades of running experience at the high-end of the sport. I’m a part-time professional trail runner for XACT Nutrition, competing in the top 1% globally.

I work with athletes to help them put the entire puzzle together, from nutrition to injury prevention to training and racing, whilst building a plan that fits their schedule and life demands.

This includes…

✅ An adaptive training plan based on what actually happens in your life and your specific needs.

✅ Feedback and open dialogue on every single training run and race.

✅ All-in-one strength, mobility and run coaching.

✅ Expert insights and advice into nutrition, recovery, and racing, for all levels.
