75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
I’ll put my hand up here and tell you that I’ve occasionally taken pain meds to help me get through long runs in particular even though I don’t think it’s a great idea. I’ll also bet that if you’re a long time exerciser you’ve done it too. If you’re a new runner starting out you... Continue Reading →
No training plan is written just for you. Here's how to customize one to fit your life!
It's almost spring training season! Or maybe if you don't live in the great white frozen north (this week) it already is for you.
