So now that my book analysis is completed, let's stop bullsh*tting ourselves, time to get back what we know. This week is the first week of my second mini-series, my overall goal is to get you more informed and ready for things like fall racing. At the end of the series, I will post a sample training plan for those who are interested, and if you want a more individualized one, please feel free to reach out and discuss.
