Dan & Owain dive into a taboo area of endurance sports, one that has returned as a discussion point following Josh Kerr's mile world record - weight.
Tackling the subject through the lens of a fantastic case study by Trent Stellingwerff, they discuss the importance of weight and body composition, and share some thoughts about when you might want to think about this yourself.
Thanks for the support as always!
