You're a runner, a cyclist, a mountain biker or a swimmer, but do you paddle? It's one of the major disciplines in many multisport races, so if you don't maybe it's time you looked at starting this amazing sport. Our latest issue will be indispensable if you do. We have collaborated with multiple Dusi champ Martin Dreyer to bring you an in-depth look at how to start and prepare for races. If you are entering Dusi for the first time next February you will also not want to miss this issue, Martin knows all the ins and outs. He has some very humorous views on the difference between bad luck, incompetence and judgment when it comes to paddling.

We also look at big mountain riding and how you should approach it, how to strengthen your back if you're a paddler or mountain biker and Dan Hugo takes a look at all the gadgets that he would like to get his hands on if money was no object.

Dietitian Keri Strachan also looks at how we can lower our carbon food print in everyday living. Yes, you read that right.
