You want to know how you're supposed to feel when you're doing...

Good morning, everyone. And welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today, I want to talk about certain beliefs that we developed at a very young age that, to this day, could be negatively influencing us.

My parents were still together, we lived in a small hou...

Key Tips: Avoid injury all together. Once you start feeling something might not be right, if you have a "niggle":  STOP.  Stretch.  Foam Roll.  Then try again.

Communicate with your coach.   Tight Calves? Don't run hills Don't run fast Don't d...
