Boost your running this spring with Marathon Talk's 'Jantastic'

One of the hardest things to achieve when aiming for spring running success, be it a target event or any other aim, is consistency. Regular running is a fundamental for hitting you goals.

Jantastic, brought to you by Marathon Talk, is a spring motivational challenge that gives runners a boost and keeps them on track during January, February and March 2013.
