I have a very special episode for you today! Every year on my birthday, I take a moment to reflect on the things I’ve learned over the past 365 days, and since I just turned 47, it’s time for another birthday episode! This is the 5th year I’m doing it, and I am very excited to share.    I’m talking about what keeps me motivated, how aging changes the way I train (and it will for you too), the things I’ve realized about training during these very strange times, and what I hope you’ll gain from all of it.    Get the FREE Off The Couch Starter Pack here: https://robinlegat.com ..read more
