S1 E10: Maths, Disappointment and Testing

This week is our first Bi-weekly release! We're going to split the episodes into discussion/questions/chat and training reviews To clarify, Bi-weekly means both twice a week, and once every two weeks. In this instance, we'll be releasing twice as week so we don't have to cut as much content from our talks. In the first episode of the week we'll be discussing The Secret Runner's impressive collection of shoes, how he goes about choosing his kit, and also discussing the use of painkillers before a race, not something either of us have done or would do, but it's an often discussed topic:https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/paracetamol-makes-athletes-run-faster-ldgv26lx9https://forums.runnersworld.co.uk/discussion/270805/paracetamol-before-marathon Listen on Acast, Spotify and Apple Podcasts https://shows.acast.com/the-secret-runner/episodes https://open.spotify.com/show/0wW7PvzOK0cka10V6DKqmV https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-secret-runner/id1573480443
