Welcome back to Warm-Up Lap. I am Thandiwe Mokoena. Today we are talking about the hardest part of sport, which is not the training and not the losing. It is the moment you cannot do it at all. My guest is Pieter van Wyk, a marathon runner who was logging 140 kilometres a week until a stress fracture in his femur took him off the road for 11 months. Pieter is very honest about how badly he handled the first few months and how he eventually learned to be a person who does not run. I know that feeling. My own career ended with a hamstring tear at 23, and I will tell you a bit of that story too, along with the two questions I now ask every injured athlete I coach.
