Parkin Space - a new weekly column on the UK's TrainingZONE

Claire Savage, the editor of the UK's TrainingZONE has asked me to write a weekly column for the forty thousand or so members of that online community, and the first Parkin Space piece went live last Friday.

Sometimes controversial, sometimes combative but with a liberal dose of common sense, Godfrey Parkin's columns take a sideways glance at topical training issues.

It's a challenge to remember to spell in English English, but Claire's editing is excellent, so I'm not sure why I bother.

If you are not a TrainingZONE member, registration is free, and the community provides a uniquely British insight into training that is sometimes inspiring, sometimes a little scary.
