it’s kind of nice out today in vancouver. You might be wondering, “what is that weird blue square?” Well kids, it’s the sky outside of the lululemon Store Support Centre right now, no joke. Raincouver? More like LeaveWorkEarlyAndGoToTheBeachCouver…or something like that. You get the point. The weather has officially turned and training season is in [...]
Have you ever watched marathoners at the front of the pack whizz by with earbuds in and wondered what they are listening to? We always do – and so with this in mind we asked our three SeaWheeze run trainers Blue Benadum, Chris McClung and Jenn Howard-Brown to share their favourites with you. This playlist [...]
Tulips are sprouting, cherry trees are blossoming, the air smells sweet….spring is happening in a big way, and not a moment too soon. Some of us have signed up for marathons and now that hibernation is over it’s time to get serious about training. In order to celebrate the longer days and warmer weather, check [...]
Yup, it’s January. After the mayhem of the holiday season, a sense of calm has taken back over. The air is clear and fresh, intentions have been made and goals set. All that’s left is to get up and GO. We made this playlist to keep things simple and also motivate [...]
Fall is a time of both nostalgia and renewal. It’s also a time of many marathons – and with these two themes on the horizon we thought the time was right for a fresh playlist, yes? We’re clearly not the only ones reflecting because the new music out right now is something of a mid-2000’s [...]
With just two weeks left to the SeaWheeze and our hardest training run out of the way (congrats btw), it’s time to focus on the fun stuff… like getting together the ultimate race playlist. Here’s a list of 13.1 “take-my-aching-body-over-the-finish-line” songs curated by the folks who know running best, you guys! 13.1 songs for 13.1 [...]
Like any kid growing up, the music my parents played had a profound effect on me. My mom was (and is) a huge lover of jazz, the British Invasion and Motown. My father’s taste, however, isn’t defined so much about genre as it is by location. Dad grew up in Manitoba and is, in my [...]
Last year, Alexis advised people heading to Coachella on the plateaus and pitfalls of getting awesome in the music festival circuit. She wrote her entry from a wistful yet wise point-of-view, dispensing such sage advice as “your sunglasses will be in every photo – if they are the weak link in your bag, fix it” [...]
One of the things I love the best about music is how individual tastes can differ. One of my workmates is a Rihanna and Lady Gaga fanatic; my iPod is packed with obscure singer-songwriters from the 70’s, New Wave b-sides and dancehall kitsch from the streets of Jamaica (try ending every sentence by yelling ‘SHABBA!’ [...]
Are you frantically trying to get your house together for a holiday party before your friends arrive in an hour? We get it. Three weeks ago, you serenely sent invites to all of your nearest and dearest for a cozy night of merriment and cheer. Now, the night is here and you’re frazzled, running around [...]
