About this episode

John Robins and Dave Masterman celebrate their marathon achievement while discussing various humorous topics.

They did it! The marathon has been conquered by the bravest and youngest boys around, Messrs John Robins and Dave Masterman. And due to the circular nature of this show’s recording schedule, just 5 days later we can finally bask in the glory of their amazing achievements!  So strap in for a marathon debrief like no other, including a squat competition (which is the real quiz) that has disastrous results for one competitor, and an abandoned dusk run in Farringdon as a result of said squat competition. Elis also reveals whether he’ll be entering the ballot for next year.  All this, plus the joys of solo restauranting, a debate about whether the phrases ‘French Rugby League’ and ‘very interesting’ are good bedfellows, and some Radio 4 listeners describe the show in a less than glowing way.  To congratulate our boys, or to move the conversation as far away from running as possible, whichever is your will, contact hello@elisandjohn.com .
