How He Went From Constantly Injured to World Champion

Описание: Andreas Almgren had 10 stress injuries to the bone by his own count and missed 3 Olympics in a row injured. Then, in 78 days this year, he became European 10,000 m champion, world half marathon champion, and won the New York City Marathon in his first marathon ever. As a physio and coach I went through more than 50 interviews and podcasts with him to understand how.
