Now 42, James explains that he's been all-in for this long training block which has included altitude tents, 20 mile PB's and swapping track for timed fartlek sessions.

April 10, 2025 Episode 26 *Bonus Episode* - Michael Krajicek (www.Atreyu.com)
Welcome back to SMD running and a bonus episode.

After a brief (by our standards) catch up between Damo and Scott, we ask: who would be crazy enough to start a running shoes brand, just before Covid, in the boom of Nike’s dominance?

Luckily for us and for episode 26, the answer was Michael Krajicek with Atreyu Running.
