How to stay sane when you stop regular training (and the Amazing Grass giveaway winner!)
This weekend, I am doing the Waterloo Classic 5 KM.

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…
