  • Surviving Winter Running - How to Thrive During the Winter Training Season

    Winter running doesn't have to stop your training goals and dreams! And just because it's crazy cold outside, doesn't mean you have to give up that marathon goal. Winter running is all about preparation and in today's episode, Bethany Thompson, founder and coach at Persistent Running gives insight into her top recommendations on winter running, the benefits to winter running, her favorite gear recommendations and more!
