When I did a women’s night chat on Zoom a couple weeks ago, we ended up spending 15 minutes on my favorite topic, bib shorts. If you’ve never tried a pair, I 10/10 recommend making the switch from regular shorts to bibs—much more comfortable!! Bib Shorts: Velocio Luxe...

Using Your A Race (or Adventure) as a Reset

by Molly Hurford | Mindset, Training

Recently, I ticked off my two A races for the season. Well, technically, they were adventures (running 100-kilometer on trail, then running the La Cloche Silhouette Trail at Killarney Provincial Park). And of course, the minute we were out of the woods at La Cloche, I...

by Molly Hurford | Mindset

I was super excited when Cyclephotos' Balint Hamvas asked me to contribute a chapter to the 2020-2021 Cyclephotos Cyclocross Photo Book. His yearly photobooks documenting the cyclocross scene are beautiful, and over the last decade, I've gotten to see him at hundreds...

Even Superheroes Have Imposter Syndrome

by Molly Hurford | Mindset

This weekend, I was out on my long run and ran out of podcasts on my playlist, which gave me a lot of thinking time. And the one thought I kept circling back to was, "Why am I not super excited or proud about running 100K last month?" Because while sure, it wasn't a...

What I Miss About Being ~Elite~ | Play and Productivity

by Molly Hurford | Lifestyle, Mindset, Training

A disclaimer before I start this post... I have never been a super-pro athlete at any point. I've trained like one, been on teams with some, and been lucky enough to be surrounded by plenty, but at my best, I was always *almost* there: never quite willing or able to...

Remember That Time I Was in a Beer Commercial?

by Molly Hurford | Lifestyle

I was feeling a little nostalgic this morning, so I figured I'd go 'throwback thursday' style and post about something that popped into my head the other day. Of all the stories I wanted to tell at my 10 year high school reunion, being able to say, "I race as an elite...

by Molly Hurford | Lifestyle, Mindset, Training

I keep reading a ton about the whole art of single-tasking and batching tasks lately. But while I get that it works for some people... I'm not entirely sure that I'm 100 percent on board. There are definitely times when the single-tasking is a necessity. It can...

Some Great Cycling Gear Guides from this Gear Minimalist

Everyone who's heard me talk about how we are super picky about how much new gear we invest in. While we love being consummate athletes, we don't love how much emphasis gets placed on having exactly the right gear for each and every sport. (Case in point: Rarely will...

Is It Time to Replace Your Cycling Gear?

Over on the Ontario Cycling blog, I talked about how to know when to replace certain pieces of cycling gear—often, these small upgrades can make a big difference to your in-ride comfort, but they can also add years to your bike's lifespan. Spending a bit of time and...
