We spend months and months working towards a big goal race. Even more than that - we spend all year running, training, enjoying the weather and our sport. We cro…
There are so many contexts in which that statement is relevant. I've been saying it a lot lately in the gym, too - If you're not moving forward, you're going backward. Th…
