    33: Risk vs Reward

    Just under 3 weeks out from Berlin, and Michael's had a minor niggle. Josh's training is still on the up, although he's also had to pare it back slightly. 2 big weeks of training to go and they are neck and neck in fitness terms. Neither is full convinced of getting in 2:28 shape, but they're both keen to go head to head. After discussing training and shape, Josh gives an overview of how he manages his training on a daily basis to mitigate the risk of getting injured, whilst also Michael gives an overview of how he is proactively managing his calf niggle, with the main objective being getting to the start line healthy. -- Kaizen ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Download the app⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Strava club⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Michael⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Josh
