We’ve been getting a lot of questions about reviewing a year of training and what to take from it in preparation for your upcoming season, so we thought a fun way to do that would be to invite a pro on to the podcast and review their year. Thanks to Haley Smith for being willing to join us and transparently review her season for all of us to learn from!
