Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Can I do something on the other 3 days of the week?

A. If your body is not sore or weak and you do not feel like you are getting sick, then feel free to do something on the days of the week that you aren’t running. I do suggest that you take at least one day of rest each week, where you do not workout at all.

Q. I have another question; how can I reach you to ask?

A. Feel free to ask me questions through email. Or, for many opinions and a quicker response time, try the forums. Don't be afraid; we are all very nice and many of us have been through what you are experiencing!
