What is the rationale behind two consecutive days of easy long running (Sat+Sun)?
Hi,
At the moment I am training according to the Two Oceans Website.
My aim is a bronze medal. I am confused because that program is much more intense compared to this program. What one must I do?
Thanks for the program. I would like to see the January and February program.
