noreply@blogger.com (Kristian Manietta) — Thu, 03 Nov 2016 01:16:00 +0000

We love an adventure; wether it’s climbing glaciers, Mountain biking across deserts, or just exploring our own backyards. Seeking adventures like these are a great way to switch-off from the world, close-out the triathlon noise, but most importantly: have fun and grow! Today Kristian chats with the guys from IGO Adventures. Never heard of it? […]

Today we highlight the key areas […]

noreply@blogger.com (Kristian Manietta) — Wed, 19 Oct 2016 04:54:00 +0000

Getting the balance of training and recovery is more art than science sometimes, and can be a complicated process. In the post-Kona whitewash, we have seen quite a few top athletes who (through their own admissions) just didn’t get that right on the lead up to the race. We believe this is also a big […]
