Trail Runner Nation friend and frequent guest, Dr. Phil Maffetone, helps us understand that health isn't a simple byproduct of fitness; that fitness can be improved with better health. He explains how we can become healthier and more fit athletes. We refer to an article, "Athletes: Fit but Unhealthy".
