Strength training 105: Is there a downside?
We’re back again for the latest in my series on strength training for endurance athletes! I’ve written previously about how and when strength training should be used in a nuanced way- it’s not as simple as ‘strength is always good!’ Check it out: here, here, here and here. Now, the next question: is there a […]
cone5togo recap!
It was a beautiful, if brisk, morning in the Township of Woolwich for a quick and painful 5k. The first cone5togo is in the books! A little wet snow didn’t stop us before and it was a fun way to get back to spring racing. The first of 500 photos have been uploaded to our […]
We just launched a new race: cone5togo
Brand new to the village of Conestogo is the first-ever road race: cone5togo! It’s a spring 5k that will test your fitness on a relatively flat rural road course. We’re doing everything we can to bring racing opportunities back to Waterloo. This is an idea we’ve been working over for a few years and this […]
Winter updates from Run Waterloo
Important update, March 2: On March 2, Athletics Ontario removed vaccine mandates for outdoor events, and in consultation with the Region of Waterloo, we are following this recommendation and will no longer be enforcing vaccine mandates for events at this time. We are up and running. Or at least, we think so! It’s been a […]
We did it! A recap from the LIVE 2022 Re-Fridgee-Eighter race
It’s been a long two years, but we are thrilled to be back at it! Despite sub-optimal temperatures, we can’t think of a better way to have spent a sunny morning in February than by reconnecting with 350 of our closest Run Waterloo friends. Whether you were racing, walking, volunteering, or cheering, we are so […]
Strength Training 104: Impact on Lactate Threshold
Welcome back to my series on strength training and endurance sports. My last article looked at strength work and cycling economy- which was way back in June. I have a good excuse though: the birth of my daughter, Adeline Delanghe! I would like to say “now that her sleep is normalizing blah blah,” but that […]
We’re back!
Our first live event in two years is on the calendar! We have missed this so much, and we are currently selling tickets to the 24th Re-Fridgee-Eighter on February 13. It’s a great winter race with a deep tradition, but we want you to know three things about COVID-19: – We have strong guidelines in […]
Fall updates from Run Waterloo
Hello again. As we announced in July, we have stayed up-to-date with the latest research and best practices, while also believing that outdoor running is an inherently safe activity to do while key safety protocols are followed. Since then, we’ve been hard at work on our return to racing, and while we feel like we’re […]
Waterloo 10 KM Classic 2021 is now virtual
We looked into every way to bring back our favourite event in 2021, and don’t have any great in-person options. Read more about our outlook. That doesn’t mean we can’t bring people together virtually and sweat out our summer 10ks anyway. That’s what this virtual race is for – a simple way to remember good […]
Summer updates from Run Waterloo
We hope this message finds everyone safe, healthy and happy. The #1 question we are getting now is, “when are your events coming back?” We want to address this as directly as possible. While we sure wish we could hold live events, at this moment in time, we aren’t planning or scheduling any live events for […]
