Some days it’s not getting yourself out there to run that’s the hard part, it’s getting through the first kilometre (or mile, if that’s how you roll!). So Kiki asked some women runners what their tricks are to get past the mental block of just getting their tails moving! Here’s a few of the things […]
In these Covid-19 times, outdoor exercise is still OK in many places so walking, biking, and running are welcome activities. However, a new European study shows it is important to avoid each other’s slipstream when doing these activities. This info is the result of a study by engineers and aerodynamicists at KU Leuven in Belgium […]
2019 was a difficult year for me as I dealt with multiple injuries and setbacks, one after the other. At times, I felt very overwhelmed and frustrated as I had so much planned, including my first half marathon. As the year is coming to a close, I have learned that I really couldn’t have planned […]
I love race photos. I instinctively pose whenever I see a race photographer on the course. Even if I’m dying during a race, I’ll still muster up a smile. I love race photos so much that I have started to volunteer at races to take free race photos for others. So now I have experience […]

Ever feel like consistency isn’t happening? Feeling overwhelmed by each day’s training plan? Always putting everything ahead of your running? I was feeling that for a very long time even in April 2018 when I was starting my second marathon training cycle. I started off strong in the first week nailing each one of my […]
Do you ever wake up at 6 a.m. and scroll through your social media only to see some of your fellow running friends have already completed their runs for the day? Do you wonder how they do it? How they make it work? I am one of those friends at the gym by 4 a.m […]
