Week 9 – The "Long Game"

Hi Reader,

Last week-end I ran my first marathon in Dublin (report and learnings coming) and now enjoying some rest & recovery while planning out the next fitness period. I like to mix it up, so next year is going to emphasize swimming, weights and maybe a return to rowing to build a stronger base. Running has revealed the impact of being vulnerable to injury and it's something I would love to avoid in the future.
