SHANK GYM
Shank Gym is a training log turned research project.
It began with Spartan racing and trail running.
Race reports branch into geology, history, and the sky above.
Five themes guide the work:
Way Through — Race Reviews
Sky Above — Astrophotography
Ground Below — Geology
Path Behind — History
Drive Within — Resolve
If that’s your kind of terrain, welcome.
