The RMA Podcast. Episode 33. An honest recap of the road to the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games during the COVID-19 pandemic. With Lisa Weightman‪.‬ The RMA Podcast

In Episode 33 of the RMA Podcast we chat to RMA Ambassador and four-time olympian, Lisa Weightman about her latest experience of the road to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games during the COVID-19 pandemic. 
We dive deep with Lisa about how she navigated the trials of training for this extended olympic campaign, the challenges of the long Victorian lockdown, and the ever changing goal posts of training, the inability to race due to the pandemic, managing performance and anxiety surrounding the ever changing landscape around Australia and the world, and the uncertainty of qualification and competition culminating in the Tokyo 2020 olympic marathon. 
Lisa shares candidly with us her thoughts around the differences of this, her fourth olympic campaign compared to those in her past, particularly around the loneliness of these games as her experience, and her thankfulness that in these uncertain times, when the world has been surrounded by a cloud of despair, the Olympics gave us the hope that we longed for, where athletes could showcase their resilience and resolve in striving for their best on the world stage, in a place where the world comes together, united as one. 
Lisa shares with us her thoughts on the race itself in the gruelling heat, her Tokyo Olympic Games experience, hotel quarantine, what she is working towards moving forward post games, how running doesn't soley define us, and what she is looking forward to most after such a long time away from her loved ones.
