Downwind in a Highwind
I woke up in the morning listening to the wind thinking to myself: “Wowweee. Tonight is going to be fun”. The wind forecast looked hectic and by far the heaviest wind I would have ever paddled in- but not by much. I have been careful to make sure I gradually up the tempo with each [...]

All provincial and national championship titles will be contested in the remaining 3 months across just about every summer sport there is. This is when you start to find out if your training strategy and discipline is [...]

Rest And Recovery
It might seem quite ironic that iTrainedToday would encourage you to rest today, but the importance of rest and recovery in any training program is traditionally under-valued.
