You can think of each training cycle like baking a cake. If the recipe calls for an hour at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, you don't turn the temperature up to 500 and take it out after 45 minutes; you’ll burn up the cake, and possibly your house.

Sobre el tema que sea. Y eso, per se, no es malo. ¿Dónde radica el problema, si lo hay? En que el acceso a toda esa información necesita pasar un filtro que rara vez podemos aplicar.

The year before i had climbed Mont Blanc and as a consequence fallen in love with an area of the Alps that have been a play ground for lovers of adventure for well over one hundred and fifty years.

I asked a local in good quality 'Sunderland french' what was going on, to be met with a look of disbelief .
