CHALLENGES, TESTS + NEW ADVENTURES

Hello, hello!

This week is a busy one for us at Consummate Athlete HQ—in fact, by the time you're reading this, we'll be out on the trail, crewing (and running occasionally) with our friend Karen, who's tackling a 900-kilometer FKT of the Bruce Trail in Ontario. You can read all about the adventure right here. 

If you want something a little less ... huge to get you amped for running this month, we have a couple of fun run challenges we're excited about right here, and on the podcast this week, we talked about how outdoor testing might not be perfect, but it's more accurate.

As always, thanks for being part of our crew—hope you have an active, healthy week!! 

-Molly & Peter
