Training Sites/Expertise:


We are not running experts, but there are a lot of people out there who are! There are also a lot of training programs out there, but how do you choose the "right" one? In our opinion, there is no one-size-fits-all plan. There are many ways to achieve the same goal. 

Pick a plan that works for you - simple and straightforward to keep things from getting too complicated, or detailed and varied so you don't get bored, etc. Whatever works. Don't be afraid to take what you like from a few different plans to create your own either!
