It’s hard to believe that exactly one year ago we rang the bell to send off 2,413 runners for the first loop of the Quarantine Backyard Ultra! Thank you so much to everyone who raced. Whether you timed out on the first loop, or completed 63, your participation made this event a truly once in a lifetime experience! The official documentary (filmed by all of you!) is still in progress, and will be released soon! We apologize for the delay. We will give more details soon when it... is ready to premiere! Thank you for your patience! In case you missed it, if you participated, you can print off a paper craft finisher trophy customized with your name, and number of loops: https://personalpeak.ca/quarantinebackyardultra/#trophy If you want to relive any of the race, see results, or the timeline of video feeds, check out the race summary page here: https://personalpeak.ca/quarantinebackyardultra/ #quarantinebackyardultra

We're working on developing some new strength programs for our athletes, and as always we like collecting as much data as possible when we try new things! In this case we are using body composition, and strength testing to track changes over the course of the program. While we were at it, we made a little video! Want to see what the Body Composition testing process looks like? This short video runs you through the whole thing!

Hitting the stacks and the racks to build our new advanced strength program!

We've been busy working on our new Level 2 strength program, but couldn't find weight plates anywhere! If you've encountered the same problem, here's how you can make your own with concrete!
