Episode 3 with Haftu Strintzos was recorded just weeks after pulling out of the Hamburg Marathon. He opens up about the injury that derailed his debut and how he’s slowly rebuilding the volume in his training. Haftu also shares what it was like growing up in a remote mountain village in Tigray, adapting to life in Australia, and the breakout race that put him on the map with his 60:36 at Marugame, now the third-fastest half marathon ever by an Australian.
