"If you are not enjoying training, stop all anaerobic training. Go out for a long jog, so slow that the old ladies with shopping baskets go past you. Do that until you start to enjoy it!"

As I mentioned last week there is a new Balanced Runner Online Camp starting May 26th with sign up starting May 20th, here is a review of the Balanced Runner I did after I took the class. I hope some of you were able to try the free The Mind Your Running Challenge. As I mention in my review if the class seemed strange you are not alone but I do think the underlying principal is one we need to learn, and if you are like me it may take longer to learn than some. That principle is that our bodies have a natural way to move and often with all the info we get inundated with we start to force what is not really natural and it can take some effort to get back to it. Also, there is a 90 day guarantee from the purchase date as well as being able to take the class again, as I am doing, at a later date - To be upfront these are affiliate links but I would share either way as I hope you can see in my review.
