Episode 1 is a great introduction to what Andy Buchanan and Gen Gregson have been up to over the last few months - Gen has bounced back from Gold Coast Marathon exceptionally well, while Andy has been focused on training and grinding our races in AV XCR. Gen tells us what she might do differently in this marathon build, and Andy shares some travel plans with our own Brett Robinson (cute).
