What are the Consequences of Missing a Workout?
What are the consequences of missing a workout? Although this isn’t a common question the implications of the answer affect anyone following a training plan.

Two of these events I had trained and competed in whilst on holiday leave from Timor. I quickly realised that if I wanted to be committed to the sport that had changed my life around, I needed to take it seriously and sign up with a coach. There are plenty of coaches to look for online or cheekily obtain a training programme online, but I had already made up my mind that Ray Boardman was the coach I wanted from Qwik Kiwi.
