This summer, I decided it was time to shake things up and pivot away from the grind of my cycling obsession. Honestly, I had started to grow a little resentful of the sport. And not just the sheer amount of time consumed by endless hours on the trainer and weekend long rides, but also the insane cost of gear, kit and bikes. Most of which are still made in Taiwan🤌🏽

In the meantime, I know that it sounds like ‘a first world-problem’—and you have me dead-to-rights. But my IG space is one of Honesty, Fitness-Fun and even Failures at times.

With HYROX just a few days away, I am feeling really good with my fitness. For HYROX you really only need a pair of running shoes that also get grip well when doing the sled work. Other than that, I’ve been loving the puzzle of putting all the others pieces-aka-‘stations’ together.

For now I will enjoy the rest of my taper week, over eat a bit on high-net-whole foods only; and try to add 30 minutes of sleep to each day. There is no more fitness gains to be had at this point—so Coach-Phil-Will-Now-Chill☺️

I am only 6 days away from racing HYROX-TORONTO, so I am enjoying the fruits of my labour with a recovery-ride. It might sound showy or cocky…, but a 40KM bike ride at Zone 1.5 is a breeze at this point in the year, after a rigorous-hyrox-training-regiment.

Side note—September is the best month of the year in Toronto—period—-so get out there and enjoy💪🏽✌🏼 taken in Don Valley Brick Works Park by @philtorrestrainer

This past Sunday my wife and I rocked out to Jimmy Eat World at Budweiser Stage. I’ve been listening to these guys for over 20 years now—and they still play like they’re in their 20’s too.
With Big hooks and catchy-head-banging—anthems—they delivered song after song for 90 min🤘🏽 taken in Budweiser Stage by @philtorrestrainer

This past Friday my buddy Doug and I partook in some ‘serious-head-banging’ to the band ‘Alexisonfire. They use three-vocalist: Dallas Green (who is also part of ‘City&Colour’) a more melodic project of his —and adored by many.

George Pettit-holding down the ‘scream-emo-singing’ end of things; and Wade MacNeil-who sings a bit less, but balances the vocals out with a more ‘raspy-baritone-overtone’ you could say.

Definitely not everyone’s cup of tea—-but I think these guys fucking-nailed it when it comes to doing their own thing in a Sub-Genre of rock that is slightly misunderstood. They know how to go heavy in all of the right places. And I love even more hearing the notes that they don’t play when they drop the beat!

They’re also Canadian made; and I often have them ‘cranked-up’ in my car, or in my ears while doing a hard-workout and banging out— just a few more reps💪🏽

Great show ‘Alexisonfire taken in Budweiser Stage by @philtorrestrainer
