Summary
This week I talk with the tiny, but fiercely mighty, Faye Stenning about staying fit & race prepping in a dense city habitat like the overwhelming & chaotic life of a NYC city dweller.
TAKE AWAY POINTS:
Be creative in your training options and use the environment you have
Commuting to trails, finding groups, pick your times, just do what you have to do
Surround yourself with like minded people
It CAN be done
