Today I am sending you guys some updates to check out. The articles are from some of my colleagues, and no need for me to re-invent the wheel when I have so many friends who also put out great content. I have also listed the upcoming events and what’s new in my coaching corner.

2.You Can’t Be ‘On’ All the Time: The Importance of Annual Training Cycles by Jen Comas Keck Co-Founder and Advisory Board Member
Do you ever have seasons of your life when your training needs to take a back seat to the rest of your life?
Maybe your kids just started soccer and you’re spending every weekend on the road at away games.
Or maybe work is absolutely ki…cking your butt right now with a big project.
Or maybe you’re just a person who craves adventure and loves to try new activities.
Did you realize that you can actually use these times to your *advantage*? (if you know what to do!)
Yes, it’s true!
Backing off a bit and cycling periods of intense training with periods of less intense training can help you stay healthy, motivated, and making progress over the long-haul (which is what’s really important, right?)
Jen discusses how she cycles her training throughout the year for maximum results and maximum fun.
