00:00He was in a good spot. He turned the corner late last week so Friday he did a little session

00:06and then ran on Saturday, trained Tuesday with the group and then today is going to

00:11be his main opportunity to train and get some volume in. We'll have to make a decision

00:16later today on whether that's enough training volume to go on performing at that level.

00:21So, as I said, we'll test him out later today and we'll make that call. We won't put him

00:26at any risk of hurting himself before then. The decision maker will be around whether

00:32one of the sessions is enough or whether we need another full week of training. So we'll

00:36see what the next week is. He's in a good spot, which is good. He's going to be placed

00:40around the volume of training. Here's the fair bit of pudding. He'll get a good session

00:44today and he's moving really well. He's doing well on Tuesday. But yeah, as I said, we won't

00:48take any risks if we feel like that's not enough.
