The post is rated Ironman, see where you fall. When it comes to Ironman training, the age old belief is “the more you go, the stronger you’ll grow.” For decades, the best endurance in the world have trained 20 + hours per week. If you think about the sheer distance of the Ironman race (2.4 […]

This post is appropriate for Sprinters, Olympians and Ironmen/Ironwomen alike! Statistics say that only 8% of people who make New Year’s Resolutions actually keep them.
