This week, Alice is recording with a full flu, having already run 30K on no sleep 3 days before, convinced it was just hay fever. We get into when to push through running sick and when to stay home. Plus Ozempic and what it might mean for runners. And because we recorded on Global Running Day, we end with @gingerwithagopro - a Cape Town runner who stopped during an epic storm to help a stranger in a wheelchair, and ended up changing his life.

This week, things get a little vulnerable. We talk about the good and bad of running; what it gives us, what it costs us, and when it starts to become a crutch. Alice shares more about what she thinks has really been going wrong in her marathons. Huw quit 75 Hard on day 72 to eat birthday cake with his family. Alice came home at 2 am after drinks with her cousins; her Garmin told her she was dying, but she went for her long run anyway. Also, she has three park runs coming up in three weekends and is absolutely dreading every single one of them.

Huw is in London, so we're finally recording in the same room. Alice shares what she thinks keeps going wrong at the same point in every marathon, and what she's started working on to fix it. Huw plans a 20-mile run all over London past Goldman Sachs, the bars and clubs from his banking days. We get into track etiquette: people running the wrong direction, men with their shirts off, and the ones who suddenly decide they want to race you mid-interval. Then the episode lands on Alice's partner, who once ran Comrades in brand new shoes, ended up in intensive care, and threw his medal into the sea. It turned up in a stranger's Airbnb years later.
