This week, Alice is two weeks on from Chicago and easing back into training. Huw is about to start his taper, and he talks us through his plan for his 100-miler and the time he’s aiming for. Then we answer a listener question on how long it really takes to recover from a marathon, and what we’ve learnt from getting it wrong. There’s also a question on how we handle races that turn out longer than planned, and Huw’s got a story or two.

This week, Alice flies out for the Chicago Marathon, and she shares a few last-minute experiments during her taper. Huw’s training is starting to come back, and he talks about a vision quest he’s headed off to for a few days. Alice walks us through how she’s getting her head ready for race day, which takes us into what goes on in the mind in the long middle miles of a race. Then we answer listener questions on whether you need different shoes for different runs and what to eat before a run. We close on hydration before a race, which matters a lot when you’re a nervous wee-er.
