I have used them when training has been impossible outdoors such as a twenty mile long run when it was snowing heavily; or using a treadmill at a hotel gym when abroad as the weather was too hot (for me) to run … Continue reading No longer dreaded!
RED January
It has been a while since my last blogpost and I do really need to get a grip and write something on a regular basis. It is not as if there is nothing to write about! I need to write less (volume) and more often! I have at last had a chance to make amends … Continue reading RED January
