But, with 3 weeks to go until an important race…stay away. Nothing good is going to come of the latest and greatest advice on how to [...] Have you ever been lying in bed and had your heart stop briefly?

This then gives you a tremendous amount of data to look at and see where [...] Those of you who follow Chuckie V’s blog know that he advocates walking as part of your training – time on your feet equals time in the training log. You’ll help strengthen your feet, and if you think about proper form you can also engage your glutes and back muscles much like a run stride. |
