Our Story
Sportpace began as a small Sunday newsletter between two friends — one in Toronto, one in Montreal — who kept exchanging long voice notes about the texture of their weeks. We wrote about morning rituals, conversations that went well, conversations that did not, and the quiet practices that kept us steady. After a year of those letters, we noticed we were writing the magazine we wished existed.
Why we exist
There is a lot of writing online about wellness. Most of it is loud, polished and a little exhausting. We wanted a slower place: a neo-retro magazine where self-care is treated as a basic need rather than a luxury — the way we treat water, sleep and friendship. Sportpace is our attempt at that place.
What we believe
- Self-care is rarely loud and almost never instant.
- Small, repeatable rituals shape a life more than grand gestures.
- Personal experience and open sources can sit on the same shelf, side by side.
- Writing about well-being should never pretend to be professional advice.
- Generally helps to write the way you would talk to one trusted friend — not a stadium.
Who writes here
How we work
We publish one slow article a week, plus a monthly letter for subscribers. Every piece passes through both of us before publishing. We do not accept paid placements. We do read every reply.
What you can do here
You can read at your own pace, subscribe for monthly letters, or get in touch with a question. If you want to spend a longer afternoon, the home page is a good place to begin. If you want a free consultation about building a simple self-care rhythm, write us through the contact page.
