This week on Beyond the Splits, Elle and Russell get into the highs and lows of their training this last week, with both hosts navigating their own challenges and some big successes.
Russell opens up about a frustrating week dealing with back, hamstring and calf issues, dropping his mileage dramatically and discovering the unexpected joys of the stair stepper. Meanwhile, there’s plenty of discussion around the mental side of being injured - from the strange relief of being forced to rest to the temptation to rush straight back into training.
Elle talks through her own return to faster running, including bike sessions, marathon-pace work and a successful comeback to longer running.
There’s also a look at the Leeds Country Way Relay, a challenging 100km off-road team event, and a brilliant win for Elle’s women’s team.
Plus, we dive into the latest (and final) Diamond League action, make our questionable predictions World Ultimates, and discuss the latest spicy interviews.
