Racing with Purpose
To achieve your best you must be willing to sacrifice for something larger than yourself.
To truly Race with Purpose you must be inspired to discover the athlete within. There are two parts to this RwP philosophy and hopefully raising funds to help children in need will fulfill the first. The second part of Race with Purpose focuses on applying a training program that, while simple in structure, emphasizes quality over quantity to prepare you for your best race ever.
Each of your training sessions will have a specific purpose to help you develop the skills necessary to successfully complete your race, your time training will be spent efficiently and effectively and you'll see the results to prove it:
Technique - nothing else matters unless you have a solid foundation on which to build, and that foundation is built by developing proper form and biomechanics
