 Have you heard about cleansing? Many are learning about cleansing (the term used these days) and some are trying it with good results.  It is something to learn about and something you may want to consider. Why Cleanse? Why Replenish? The two root causes of disease are toxins/chemicals and nutritional deficiencies (Seven Stages to Disease).  Today, there are more toxins all around us combined with less nutrient dense foods!

 “most prevalent causative factors in the etiology of illness in general is lack  of appropriate nutrition.” Medical Research Council and later the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Foods and the Royal Society of Chemistry: Authors R.A. McCance and E.M. Widdowson.

Few endurance athletes in the world have had a more unique journey to the top of the racing world. Jasper Blake was born in Kelowna B.C . Jasper's father was a semi-professional hockey player, but because of his small frame, eventually he moved to skiing and introduced his two son's to skiing at a very young age. Jasper's parents divorced when he was just eight years of age and he and his brother Oliver and his mother Pippa moved from ski-town to ski town following employment (Banff, to Kimberly to Canmore). Not afraid of adventure, Pippa Blake loaded up her two young boys and headed to New Zealand where the trio lived partially in a sleeper van and partially in the homes of friends. "It was a very cool time to see the world and be care-free" said Jasper. Pippa Blake was offered a job at the National Ski Academy and the Blake trio moved to Collingwood Ontario where Jasper's athletic career really took off.

After a year off, the PB Markham "mini" days are back. The focus of these sessions are running form, running drills and strength development for endurance athletes of all levels. Join Coach Sheldon (a running coach, and strength and conditioning specialist). These sessions sold out the last time they ran. Space is limited to maintain quality coach / athlete interaction and feedback. More info...
