|
| Throughout the grueling season I relied on SoLo to give me the fuel to train and the essential vitamins and minerals for my recovery. SoLo extends my workouts and allows me to give it everything I have at the end of a race". |

Favorite workout? |
|
Long intervals in the mountains. One of my favourite workouts is to do a tempo run from Banff to Canmore in the Canadian Rockies. The trail is a 19km dirt trail through the mountains with a substantial elevation gain. It's very challenging, but also an exhilarating run. |

Best race?
|
|
My best race was the 2007 World Mountain Running Trophy in Ovronnaz, Switzerland where I finished 21st. I found out later that was the best result ever by a Canadian in the men's race. I was very relaxed during the race and I found the course to be an exciting challenge. The fact that I enjoyed the race so much was a major reason why I ran well. |

|
Best thing about being an athlete?
|
|
The community of sport. Running is a welcoming community and I have been lucky to have made friends across Canada through running. Having friends to challenge one another can make even the most difficult workouts enjoyable. |

Weakness?
|
|
Stubbornness. I am a stubborn runner, and that means I sometimes wear myself out. Training harder is not necessarily training smarter. |

How do Solo bars impact your training and performance? |
|
SoLo bars have taken me to the next level. The energy that SoLo gives me in the second half of races is one of the reasons that I can dig deep and achieve my best efforts. As an international runner the daily grind is difficult to withstand, but the incredible tasting SoLo is my fuel for excellence. |
