Phil Sesemann announced an injury that results in Ellis Cross being called up to the GB Team for the European Athletics Champs later this summer.The Diamond League kicks off this weekend in Shanghai, China with a lot of Aussies and East Africans making for some pretty stacked fields. 👊In this week's Double Trouble we discuss the art of self sabotage and why runners do a certain thing knowing it will have a negative impact on results.
