In this episode we find Brian and Lisa struggling with an injury scare and cold respectively prompting some reflection and philisophical ponderings. Lisa punches out another 80km/50mile week, but finds the challenge of her monster 25km marathon pace tempo in hot weather and wind too much to overcome.
