⭐⭐ What Injuries Really Do to Marathon Training | Tokyo, Doubts & The Backyard Ultra | TRJ #155

In this episode, Rob and Charlie check in on training, injuries, and the uncomfortable uncertainty that comes with both.

Rob is dealing with lingering injuries and questioning whether a sub-3 at Tokyo Marathon is still realistic, and whether lining up for a Backyard Ultra in April is even on the table. Charlie, meanwhile, is already deep into backyard training and embracing the long, patient build.

They also get into:

- Backyard training and how it actually feels
- Track running stories (and some unexpected pushback 👀)
- The mental toll of injuries
- Treadmill miles, winter running, and staying consistent
- A massive contest announcement
- Random race sign-ups and classic TRJ rambling

This one's honest, reflective, and very much about navigating the gray areas of endurance training, when plans aren't clear and nothing feels guaranteed.
