Hey, fam and friends! I've been working with local runners and triathletes for over 20 years and decided it was time to post my "favorites workout" or fitness videos on our fitcal365.com Coaching webpage. The "favorites workouts" are for our community and free to access. Of course, they're only information-based and not as a schedule for training.
The Coaching Page will be blog-based and allow us to talk and listen to how others in our fitness community train. Also, if you have any questions you can reach out to me directly through email at [email protected]
