For those of you that actually read my emails and follow my Facebook posts you’ll be well aware that I’m a big believer in building our foundations in Training, Food and Lifestyle so when things go wrong as they sometimes will like an injury or a two week blow out in the canaries we will have plenty of good habits to fall back on and it won’t be as heart-breaking to get back on track.Read More
