August 2017 Training: Is Drinking Wine A Sport?

Maybe it’s just me, but I hate the word report. I am making a bit of a change to my Polar Performance Report and just talking some of the biggest things that I have learned in my last month of training instead. My training is something that is always evolving and it is something that I… Read More…

Goals for September 2017

I don’t know about you, but I always find that September is a month of hustle. You may remember I took a more relaxed approach to goals in August and but it was full of vacations, family things and big new endeavours. September is hitting like a load of bricks with busy weeks and either racing… Read More…

Packing for World Championships with Only Carry On Luggage

I love you guys. I really do. But when the weather is gorgeous and watermelon is in season and my baby sister is home from Miami, I just don’t have as much drive to post as regularly.
