storytelling about sport

"The lone wolf that said, 'I'm committed to covering Women cycling.'" -Tobin Heath, 2x Olympic gold & FIFA World Champion

​

Hi there! To make a long story short, I’m a storyteller in love with all things cycling, running, nutrition and movement-related. When not outside, I’m almost definitely writing about being outside or interviewing other athletes. I’m a little obsessed with getting people—especially women—psyched on adventure and the outdoors.

​

I’m the co-host of the weekly Consummate Athlete podcast, as well as the coauthor of Becoming A Consummate Athlete with my husband, cycling coach Peter Glassford. 

​​​

I’m the author of multiple fiction and nonfiction books, including the Shred Girls series. Most recently, I founded Strong Girl Publishing to tell more stories of young girls in sport, all written by young women athletes. 

I also write for publications including Bicycling magazine, Outside, and Canadian Running and talk about all things athletic on shows ranging from PBS's NewsHour to the Trail Running Women Podcast. I have also developed content for New Balance, Asics, Norda, Canyon, Liv Cycling and more. 

​​

I regularly host talks and run clinics for cyclists and teach yoga online and IRL… And in my spare time, I’m ultra-running and racing on trails, riding bikes, or hiking with my mini-dachshund DW and podcast co-host/husband Peter Glassford.
