Episode 23: ”Fix My Calf, We Have Ten Minutes...”

On Episode 23 of The Halfstep Pod, Grant joins the Pod from back home in Oregon, after completing his 10k-5k double at the Olympics last week. With two top 10 finishes in his debut experience at the Games (5th in the 10k, 9th in the 5k) Grant discusses how he managed to get through that intense week of racing, a sudden injury that prevented him from running a step between the 5k prelim and 5k final (and jeopardized his ability to compete at all), and Moh's crazy push for a Silver medal in the 5k. The guys also dive deep on the 5k prelim and final from Grant's perspective as they do with all races. They conclude by talking about Grant's upcoming race plans now that his calf is recovering, which could include the Pre Classic in Eugene next week.
