Complementary Training Podcast #7: Interview with John Lythe

2016-08-10

In episode seven of the Complementary Training podcast, I am talking to John Lythe. I can call John my big brother. He was more than helpful with his support and advice from sport science, Excel to personal/life issues. I am really lucky to know this lad. We finally met in person when I was in Doha in 2014/2015. You do not know a person until you drink couple of pints with them. As most of you know John is Excel and sport science wizzard. I've used this interview to pick his brain on numerous topics.
