DOMS

DOMS- Delayed Onset Muscle Fatigue.

Wow, I woke up yesterday (after feeling great on Sunday) with huge knots in both my calves.  Pounding pavement above my lactic threshold was definitely the culprit!  I’m adding ice to them as I type.

So this is going to be one of my goals for this summer, trying [...]

Eat Your Vegetables…

I’ve got a question to all you LiveMultiSporters, what veggies go well with breakfast?  Or, for breakfast.

I know you can add green pepper, oinions and tomatoes to an omlette.  There is the popular hash browns made from potatoes.  And beans, who could forget those.

But I’m searching for something more…  Like beans with [...]

Does This Deserve a Life-Time Ban?

Check out this video of the final sprint from Stage 8 of the “Presidential Cycling Tour of Turkey“! Specifically, look at the yellow jersey (Daryl Impey from South Africa) at 3:45 into the video (the bottom, left of the screen).  This is either the worst display of sportsmanship you’ve ever seen or a very unfortunate [...]

P-Best

First running race of the season today.  The short of it for people whose lives are too busy is I ran 1:18:13 (results here).  Back in February I came across this race, “National 1/2 Marathon Championships” held in Montreal.   I figured it would be a good way to kick off the season.  The race was [...]

Tofu For You

By MARTHA ROSE SHULMAN

This miso soup is much like the classic version you find in Japanese restaurants, with some added vegetables. Miso is a highly nutritious fermented bean and grain paste; you can find it in Japanese markets and at whole foods stores.

2 cups dashi (Japanese broth) or water

2 tablespoons dark miso [...]

Dee-Nut

Sad week ahead, Figs is becoming less of a man.  After much pain to do this to a fellow guy, I’ve decided to take his reproductive capacities away.   The decision (not entirely mine) was based on Figs wanting to pee on everything.  Thankfully it wasn’t in my home but it seems everything else is a [...]

Food as Fuel

I’ve been quiet lately. Not because I haven’t had anything to say – I always have something to say – but because my current reality flies in the face of what most athletes believe is true. And frankly, it’s wearying to keep explaining, “No. I’m not crazy.” and “Yes. I know what I’m doing.” and [...]

Training Camp # 1 In The Books

It was only a small showing but the first LMS camp went better than expected.

Day 1: The weather was sunny and cool as we rode 130K.  With over 12, 000 feet of elevation change, this was a gruesome day in the saddle as we tackled “the Kank” which winded it’s way through the White Mountains [...]

Gaining Ground

The registration is confirmed; barring injuries or other hick-ups,  May 17th I’ll be toeing the line at the Bluenose Volkswagen half marathon. I’m a ducks-in-a-row kind of person – I love the predictability, call it security, of having a workout schedule all plotted out. Speed intervals, hill repeats, short tempo runs, a weekly long run [...]

An Icy Recovery

The world record long distance woman runner (2:15:25 marathon) takes an icy bath after her long runs. The only thing I have in common with Paula Radcliffe is the long run part, but if cold treatment works for her, it merits [...]

You Know the Ol’ Saying…

Less is more. Well I’m starting to be a believer.

This year I’ve really taken the time to restructure and focus on my running economy. I do funny looking drills that hopefully, are going to pay off in the long run. By paying off I mean knocking minutes off my race time.

My mom [...]
