Apologies for the delay in posting this episode guys - for the first time in three years of podcasting the online audio files were corrupted so it took a big effort to pull this together. If Jack's voice sounds strange in the back half of the episode you can choose to either blame the audio or his hay fever.
TRAINING WEEKS
Tess goes first with her training week which leads to a good discussion on not overreaching in threshold's. Jack returns to training with a very impressive Tuesday workout but swiftly humbled come the Friday workout. Joel's return to run program is well underway as he battles with a severely high HR.
BIG Q
The team answer what they believe to be their number one recovery tool to ensure they can back up day-to-day with their training.
GIVE SOME KUDOS
Joel keeps the music theme going by giving his kudos to an impressive show from the Gallagher brothers. Tess swaps kudos for a recommendation to all dog owners out there, while Jack boasts about his latest two-wheeled purchase.
TWHSOITWTWATSA
Tess isn't sure about the GOAT's long-sleeve choice in New York while Jack isn't sure about the recent "Treadmill World Championships". Joel decides to swap out his Instagram segment by updating the listeners on Jimmy Whelan's patreon-status (if you're a patreon and check the comments section this will be old news).
