I know you love running as much
as I do. But sometimes don’t you like to mix it up a bit? Try a
change of pace, a break in your routine? Why not pack your bags and head to a
three-day cycling camp to learn new skills, experience cross-training at it’s
finest and best of all, make new fitness-focused friends.
