In this episode we talk about the pros, cons, and purposes of lead up races in your marathon training plan. Lisa gets to the bottom of her shin niggle, with the help of her physio and a bunch of needles, and has a week of water running and Alter-G to help things settle. Meanwhile Brian shows good signs of improved fitness on the back of a consistent training block, and completes a solid into the wind hit-out at the Flinders Island Running Festival 26k Pub to Pub race.
