S03: E02 - The history of cross country running

In this week's episode Lisa and Brian recap their underwhelming Canberra half-marathons that saw Lisa nursing her frustratingly fickle runner's knee and Brian remembering that you need to run more than two 60km weeks to produce a decent half. Lisa schools Brian on cross country running history, including the surprising fact that a cross country competition has been held at the Olympics.
