Steady as She Goes

Posted by on Jul 20, 2009 in City2Surf, Lifting Your Game | 0 comments After last weeks two intensive runs we have a bit of a wind down week, yet still maintaining the pressure. If you are still sticking to this training schedule after seven or eight weeks, you can congratulate yourself now. You are one of the few success stories.
