I was out this morning on a nice, long trail run. No agenda, no plan, no structure… just running. One of the nice things about this time of year, post racing season, is the opportunity for a small stretch of time to just get out and do what you feel like doing on any given […]
Read More ›Up the fat. As in… change the macronutrient composition of what you’re eating. I write that not in jest but in all honesty, if I don’t emphasize that the goal is not simply to add fat, but to eat a variety of different types and sources of fats instead of the breads, the pastas, the […]

Downtime is always in order immediately following any big evert, in order to let the body rest, recover and rejuvenate. But how about the mind?
