| 0:00.0 | over training is so hard to overcome because it's not an injury that you can like feel or |
| 0:06.5 | or go get an MRI and be like oh there it is it will take six weeks to heal you just kind of at the mercy of time so you just have to ride it out. |
| 0:18.7 | Welcome to the Runners Connect Run to the Top podcast where it's all about learning from the best and |
| 0:25.1 | most inspiring minds in the sport. So together we can train a smarter, healthier |

| 0:37.0 | Hello, this is Tina Muir. Thank you so much for joining me for the latest episode of the Rallis Connect |
| 0:44.4 | run to the top podcast. |
| 0:46.5 | So last week we talked to Chris Kelly, who dove into some new forms of testing that |
| 0:51.0 | are going to help us figure out some of those mysterious health issues that we tend to push our way, |
