Did you decide on a pre?

 

[runnerschick]

Did you decide on a pre?

Hmmmm possibly pre surge unleashed

 

[Nooshefx]

Never heard of that one I don't think. My wife is using Uplift now from NLA and we may have found a winner to keep around for awhile.

What type of training are you doing? Does most of what you do have a relation to running?
