About this episode

Rob shares his experiences and thoughts as he prepares for the London Marathon, discussing various topics related to running and life.

As Rob gets quite deep into his pre-London Marathon taper, he reports to Paul on a gentle turn around the newly leafy woods. Featuring road rage, Lyme Regis in the soul, gig report, the logistics of supporting on Sunday, bad juju movies, a very yin-and-yang parkrun report, Edward Ndiritu, Elihud Kipchoge and George, and Rob's Big Plan.
