Join us as we give full race recaps from the Red Deer Woody's Marathon and the Calgary Marathon.

George runs his first (maybe last) road marathon, and Alyssa completes a very quick marathon in Calgary that meets the Boston Marathon qualifying time standard.

Ever feel overwhelmed by recovery options? You're not alone! Here’s what I've learned about what really works!

Recovery’s a hot topic – but it can feel like a maze with all the products and advice out there. From infrared saunas to compression boots, the choices seem endless!

Here’s my take:

- **Keep it simple**: A good roller or lacrosse ball can do wonders. They fit right in your gym bag and are super affordable.

- **Consistency is key**: Using an infrared sauna regularly has made a difference for me, especially for heat adaptation.

- **Listen to your body**: Compression stockings feel great, but I’m still figuring out their real benefits.

- **Avoid burnout**: Don’t wait until you’re injured to seek help. A proactive approach can save you pain later on.

Recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all, but finding what works for you is crucial!

Are you running on empty? Let's talk about why most runners are under-fueled and how you can change that!

We train like athletes, but do we eat like it? Fueling is crucial for performance, yet many of us overlook the importance of proper nutrition. It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking we can power through on coffee and sugar alone, but that’s not the case.

After a long run, it’s vital to replenish your glycogen levels with the right carbs. Ignoring this could lead to poor performance and even injury!

Runners often fear that eating more carbs will make them gain weight, but that's a misconception. Fueling your body properly can enhance your performance, help with recovery, and keep you injury-free.

It's time to rethink your fueling strategy and embrace the carbs! What's your go-to fuel for those long runs?
