Whether your next race is a 5K or an ultramarathon, the Compete Training Journal will transform your approach to competing and make sure that race day brings out the best in you. New racers will get a fast-track road map to racing success while experienced competitors will deepen all aspects of their mental game for even better performances. Racing should make you sweat in a good way. With Compete Training Journal, you'll look at competition in a new way and find new reward from the running you love.
