Marta arrived convinced her back was the problem. It was not — the problem was that every return to training started at the intensity she had left off at two years earlier, her back complained, and she stopped. Three cycles of that had taught her that lifting hurt her.

The first eight weeks were deliberately unimpressive. Light, frequent, boring, and specifically designed so nothing flared. What that bought was the first stretch of uninterrupted training she had had in years, and after that the strength came back quickly because it had never really gone.

The competition was her idea, not mine. She wanted a date that could not move.
