In this week's episode Lisa finds herself compressed under the weight of life responsibilities and her own performance expectations, and is seriously considering adopting a "Brian" unstructured training approach. She competes in the Western Sydney 10km, finishing a credible 5th in 39:42, but is lacking motivation and now sidelined by another calf strain. Meanwhile, Brian is happy with his solid XC performance over the hills at St Anne's Winery. He gives a detailed recap of his 8k race, which remarkably went to plan, and reflects on the success of strategies discussed in episode 06 on how to race a cross country.
