As the year starts to come to a close, I reflect upon my favourite workouts of 2025.

As another year of training racing starts to approach its end, I reflect on the biggest lessons I've learned in each of my years in the sport of trail running so far!

After the high of a race, it’s inevitable that you may experience a low.​ Here is everything you need to consider to avoid falling into the trap of the post-race blahs and blues!

As I gear up towards my next few shorter races and coach many athletes doing the same, I wanted to share some thoughts on the training theories for a shorter race taken from my most recent training block - leading into the Harricana 28K.

After using Saucony all my life, I became increasingly annoyed about how little the shoes lasted on the trails. As a result, I explored six different shoes from five different brands this year. Here is my ranking of all the shoes I've tried in 2025, from bottom to top!

Something cool happens in October. Every athlete I currently coach has a season-ending race. A finale for what has been a great year of running for all. One of the coolest things about that is I can now tailor applicable coaching advice to many of you all at the same time. As you all prepare for your finales, I wanted to share my favourite reflective exercise to do before every race.

Running easy doesn’t make you a slower runner. It just makes you a smarter one. Here’s why!!

My coaching philosophies have long centered around individualized approaches for success, even within team environments. I think you need to recognize what an individual has going on in their life, and not only who they are within their sport, but who they are outside of their sport. For an endurance sport this becomes even more imperative, as training can only properly happen with proper recovery.

When it comes to trail running, I don’t hold hands. It sounds lovely and sportsmanlike, and all. But I much prefer to fight to the death. And I had so much fun doing so this weekend at the Ultra-Trail Harricana 28K!

Last year, I arrived at the UTHC 42K Classique with a nagging knee injury, but in one of the most pressure-free states of my adult life. It was one of my best races ever. I now reflect upon how I can produce more races like this in the future, including my return to Harricana this weekend.
