Its important to watch good techique so that during your workouts during the week you have a mental image of what you are trying to do. This is how we get better

Great Downsview Workout

Thanks for a great workout this week at Downsview, we had a lot of new people out and I am looking forward to the coming weeks with even more people :)

Dont forget to check the blog with the training and what we are doing this weekend because for some people things are a little different.

Ryan posted two awesome videos on his blog he wanted everyone to watch before training on wednesday, if you still havent seen them, they are worth a look.

Always go like its a sprint to the finish

In all your training for the rest of the Summer, lets make a deal that we will go this hard. Not physically, but in effort and intensity. Give everything you have all the time

Canada Day

Happy Canada Day everyone. With all the talk about the flag, I want to get everyone thinking about how it would feel to hold up the Canadian flag representing our country one day. Can you imagine that? There are people who get to live that. If you want to feel that, and you badly want to feel that, then you have to train hard to get it. So let this picture be an inspiration to train hard, to maybe someday represent your country.


And of course, so you remember how fun training can be:
Have a good week and we will see each other Sunday for a great time at Mt. St. Louis
