I hope this story inspires you, as it has me, to challenge yourself! Better yet, let someone else challenge you! My sister-in-law, poor woman, has 3 brothers… all of them are Ironman athletes.

Guest post from Skin Strong pro triathlete Angi Axmann Let’s be honest. Training by yourself can be tough sometimes. No one is pushing you during your swim, no one is talking to you during your ride and there is no one next to you on your run. I used to live in a smaller town […]

It’s off season for most of us right now. Why not get creative and get motivated at the same time! Pull out all your race bibs and medals from last season (and the many seasons before that). Are they stashed away in boxes or drawers? Time to pull them out and proudly display (next to […]
Maybe you are in a running funk, maybe you are coming back from an injury, or maybe you are bored with running and ready to throw in the shoes. Maybe it’s time for a do-over! Two “do-over” stories: Do-over after an injury: Meet Eli who has been through a do-over after an […]
