I get asked all the time what kind of training is required for bobsled. It’s a lot of sprinting, bounding and weight lifting. We have to be strong, fast and explosive athletes. Our sprints are short 20,30,40m. Our weights are 1,2,3 rep maximums..... we do the same stuff that Olympic sprinters do, as well as Olympic lifters. It takes a specific type of athlete to be good at pushing heavy things quickly. It’s a skill all of it’s own. I am not the strongest female, or the fastest, I’m a hybrid of both. I can move resistance and cover ground very quickly. Explosive movements are trained and built in the summer months so I can be 90% physically ready come the winter..... then my focus switches to sport specific skills and driving the sled when we get on ice. . . Today’s workout: - sprints 3x20m, 2x30m, 1x40m - rudiments 2x20m (with 8lbs ball) - clean complex (1+1) 176lbs x5 (Tried 198lbs for final set but missed the hang. Mental block) - B.Sq (heavy) with 3 sec eccentric 3x2 , 2x1 (275lbs , 305 lbs) - a.) single leg RDL 3x5/5 @ 88lbs - b.) bent over row 3x5 @ 88lbs

To honour the 40th Anniversary of Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope, the @terryfoxfoundation is launching a campaign with the theme #TryLikeTerry that asks Canadians to try something they have never done. Last year I wanted to get out in nature more and decided to try mountain biking. I assembled this biker gang of @amackattack and @sunnyanddelightful to show me the ropes and it’s been an amazing time. I encourage you to use this summer to try something new and #TryLikeTerry you’ll be glad you did!

These are so cool! Donate now for your chance to earn a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted #givinggames gold, silver, or bronze medal designed by @kiitella! Top 3 donors by the end of the games (August 9) wins. Every $ counts. Donate now! Link in bio.

Ever watched Cool Runnings? . I decided to hop back across the pond for this week's #tracktuesday to feature a location that sadly may never appear on the international circuit again due to closure. Calgary could be considered the best known of all ice tracks in the world given that it was the setting for the legendary film Cool Runnings. If you've ever seen that film then you've watched sleds on this track whether you realised it or not! . It opened in 1986 ready to host the 1988 Winter Olympics, and sits in a beautiful position overlooking the city of Calgary on one side and the mountains in the distance on the other. In recent years it has featured intermittently on the World Cup circuit. . The track has a long, flat push profile feeding into a low pressure top half that runs down to a very long straight, followed by a tricky kreisel. The idea is to flow quietly through the top few corners and build speed, but this can be difficult as there are several places along the way where you can lose time with small mistakes. Kresiel itself is interesting- the pressures aren't huge but it has a difficult exit that wants to throw you into the left wall on the exit (see 1st photo!). The athlete normally has to make a calculated decision whether to try and steer harder in kreisel and avoid that exit hit, or take the hit and hope the rebound sets you up well for the next corner. Believe it or not, quite often the second option is quicker and more consistent! . From kresiel to the finish, the aim is to link the big, labyrinth style corners into a smooth course that doesn't require too much work. Then there's just the final corner left, a big two wave corner with high pressure which squashes you into the sled, then spits you out over the finish line as the pressure releases. . Swipe ➡️ to see me in action in the last Calgary World Cup. 📷 @ibsfsliding . #tracktuesday #wintersport #skeleton #sport #fitness #training #motivation #calgary #city #landscape #alberta #canada #insta #video #picoftheday #photographer #travel #coolrunnings #winterolympics #womeninsport #tuesdaymotivation #tuesdaythoughts #tuesdayvibes #sporty #sunset #actionshot #instavideo #athlete

"SLEDHEAD" (link in bio) @nytimes It's easy & fun to share the nice things about sport - advancements, opportunities, accomplishments, milestones, the adrenaline of racing at 140km/h! But this piece was none of those things & it was hard to read & share.. This article is sobering. I read it twice. It broke my heart. It asks big unanswered questions. It showcases how bad things can get when they go wrong. It highlights the need for concussion research & education. It brings attention to the importance of mental health resources & support. To date I have never had any head injuries. But what does the everyday wear & tear of sliding under significant G-force, racing at break-neck speeds and the little bumps & bruises along the way mean for our brains? Not really understanding - even on a professional level - the significance of smaller incidents, accumulated brain injury, risk levels, concussion recovery, & possible corresponding long-term effects can be scary. But I am thankful for the ongoing research, resources & protocols in place that help inform & protect athletes. That said.. perhaps it's time again to stop, ask some hard questions, review our protocols & routines, & focus more on education & research to promote health here & now & in the future. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ " 'The concussions from the major crashes get diagnosed,' said Dr. Brian Benson, the chief medical officer for the Canadian Sport Institute in Calgary, Alberta, who has been studying brain trauma in sliding sports for a decade. 'The real concern is the concussion-like symptoms they experience because of the high speeds and the forces.' Benson compared it to shaken baby syndrome but for adults. The question no one can answer, because accumulated brain injury is so hard to measure in real time, is how much is too much?" PS. My heart goes out to all the families & friends of the great athletes mentioned in this article. Thank you for willingly sharing their story. . . . #sleighallday #sleightheday #bobsleigh #bobsled #teamcanada #sledhead #nytimes #neuroscience #psychology #concussion #concussionresearch #braintrauma #wearandtear #hottopic
