7 ways to stay consistent with training and nutrition during the holiday season.

1. Morning workouts- training in the morning means you get it in before your day gets away from you. Bonus- prep your workout clothes and training nutrition the night before.

2. Dinners for lunch- if I’m cooking anyways, I just make more so I have lunch for the next day.

3. Booking time off for me- blocking off time in my calendar helps things from getting out of control.

4. Focus on consistency in training vs nailing the prescribed workout. If I’m feeling too tired or worn out then I do the prescribed time, but bring the intensity down.

5. Have a back up activity in case your original plan can’t happen. If it snows, know where you can find a treadmill or go for a hike instead. If the pool is closed, hop on the bike. If the gym is closed, do an at home body weight session.

6. Hydration as a non-negotiable – I keep a water bottle with me everywhere. It’s the simplest thing that keeps energy, appetite, and recovery steadier through long, social days

7. Making training social- I try to find a friend or 5 to workout together for both fun and accountability

What do you to do maintain fitness and training over a busy period?

Flash back to last year in this day. Finished the IM 70.3 WC in Taupo NZ. It had been a rocky road due to injuries but looking back at this pic I just remember the joy and gratitude crossing the line and celebrating the journey. And the warmer temps!🤣🤣🤣

Helping endurance athletes dial in their day-to-day and in-training nutrition genuinely brings me joy.
Nutrition is an evolving process—no one-size-fits-all plans here. I work with athletes to uncover strategies that fit their needs and fuel the start and finish lines they’re chasing.

Michael first connected with me through my online workshop (Complete Nutrition for Endurance Athletes—relaunching Feb 2026) and then 1:1 to navigate health and metabolic hurdles while building a stronger nutrition foundation for triathlon. He dove into the work, learning how to adapt his fuelling from short course to long course.
After 18 months of nutrition support, Michael is now joining the HEAL team as a coached athlete training for Tremblant 70.3.
Welcome to the HEAL team, Michael!

If you’re a masters athlete ready to take a more integrated approach to your training and nutrition—and want guidance that adapts with you—let’s talk. Whether you’re chasing your next PR, stepping up in distance, or simply wanting to feel stronger and more confident in your body, coaching can help you get there. Reach out and let’s explore what’s possible.

Injuries suck!
But they don’t get the final say.

I’ve spent the last few months navigating a knee injury, and the hardest part hasn’t been the rehab, the strength work, the deviation from my plan… it’s been the mindset.

Daily my mind still drifts to the “I can’ts,” the "What ifs" and the "Why me" and it is a struggle to flip the script to focus on the "I can".

One gift of being a triathlete is that we have three—if not four—sports to lean into. Even when one is limited, we can usually train the others, maintain fitness, and support our mental health.

Injury forces a shift in perspective.
It pushes you to focus on what you can do, not what you can’t.
It opens doors to strength, patience, and growth you would’ve skipped otherwise.

If you’re in a setback right now, this is your reminder:

You’re not falling behind.
You’re not broken.
You’re being redirected.

Save this for when you need the reminder. 💛💪

Received a little bit of unexpected JOY this morning opening my email to see that I am named Provincial Champion in AG 45-49 for Sprint Distance raced at TTF this past summer.

I didn’t get to race as much as I wanted this past summer due to a knee injury but I’m super happy I could race the TTF and this is definitely icing on the cake.
