On Episode 21 of The Halfstep Pod, Grant joins the show live from Tokyo (Not live by the time you're hearing him, unfortunately). The guys go through what it's like living in the Village- from how much he is actually able to socialize, how he's getting his runs in, and what a cafeteria pumping out 40,000 meals a day actually looks like in action.
Grant and Connor then spend the second half of the episode previewing Grant's 10k on Friday night, 8:30 Japanese local time. 7:30 Friday morning US Eastern time (4:30 AM PST, yikes). They go over how he is preparing to run the biggest race of his life so far, what it'll be like to have so many of his training partners and teammates in the field with him, and what his goals are for the race.
