 You’re crushing it in a race or a long run, and then all of a sudden - BAM - you hit a wall. Your legs feel heavy, you’re all out of kick, your will to go on seems weak; even your brain feels foggy...you’ve bonked!

Whether we’re talking about a bonk in a single run, or the complete meltdown of your training effort, most runners will face a point at which they’re not sure they can continue. Either scenario can be very distressing to someone who is putting all the time and effort into training and all of a sudden seeing their hard work seemingly wasted.

What are some of the practices that will keep you on the road and keep you performing at your best?  ‘Tis the season for cold weather training! This season can be a little trickier when it comes to training plans, and especially this year where training plans have been a lot more wonky.
