Sophie-Ann - Completed Mallorca 70.3 as her first ever 70.3. What I learned “I’m stronger than I thought mentally and anything is possible with when you put intention to it!”

Andrea G- Was having a great time at the Duathlon in Bridge City, SK, when she took a nasty fall and broke her clavicle and shoulder. We wish you a speedy recovery post surgery Andrea! ❤️‍🩹

Alia, James, Anna, Kim and Sean all completed the Sporting Life 10k on Sunday in Toronto under ideal conditions with a new finish line. Saw lots of HEAL friends and supporters on course as well!

Congrats all!

HEAL PKPC Girona Camp Day 1 recap:

After being picked up at Barcelona airport, the crew arrived and we got the bikes built and fitted for everyone. We had a great dinner and tried to get to bed “early” after a long travel day. Early is hard since dinner doesn’t start until 7:30am in Spain. Yikes!

Day 1 kicked off with a short 30 minute coached swim in the on site 25m pool, followed by followed by a little “shakeout” ride through the Girona countryside of rolling hills. We stopped for lunch at Set on Lake Banyoles. There is no such thing as flat here and this was probably the flattest route we are doing this week at 627m of climbing for 46 km. Some campers did a run off the bike, others swim or relaxed by the pool.

We have been treated to amazing weather of sun and hot temps.

Tomorrow we are doubling the distance and the elevation with 85 km with 1200 + meters of climbing. We’re riding up the volcanos tomorrow so stay tuned for pics!p.k



 

Injuries happen. Illness happens. But how you fuel your body can change how you bounce back.

No, the foods you eat won’t stop you from stepping off a curb wrong (speaking from experience 🙃), but they do influence how severe that injury is—and how quickly you recover.

When you’re sick or injured, your nutrition matters even more.

Focus on:
• Veggies + antioxidants
• Adequate protein & carbohydrates
• Omega-3 fats
• Hydration

What can you do?
Add foods rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds:
→ Ginger, turmeric
→ Berries & cherries
→ Pineapple
→ Spinach + dark leafy greens

Include omega-3-rich foods for immune support and inflammation control:
→ Cold water fish
→ Ground flax, chia, h**p
→ Walnuts

Hydration matters more than you think, fluids help transport nutrients, clear waste, and support joint and muscle function.

And protein? Non-negotiable.
You need amino acids for tissue repair and immune support.
