## Podcast Details

Season 4 kicks off with a recap of how Michael & Josh's training has been going. Michael; good, Josh; less good, but on the up.

Off-brand interlude about the strength work and cross-training they've both been doing and associated risks and benefit.

Sub 2:28 challenge is ON AGAIN for Berlin Marathon, so there is a shallow dive into what training is going to look like.

Hard data to follow in the next episode telling each of them EXACTLY how much training they need to do leading into Berlin to be in 2:28 shape.
