Michael Roeger checks in for a catch-up chat, how he came off the marathon event in Penrith into the lead up to Tokyo Paralympic where he picked up an injury, then finding the motivation to persevere with starting the race and how it unfolded. Michael talks about recovering from the event, spending time in hotel quarantine as well as planning for the future after learning that his para-athlete classification of T46 will not be staging a marathon at the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games, where his passion lies and the news that he will be lining up for the 2022 Boston Marathon.
