On The Green And Glorious Heath

Paul joins Rob for a Race To The King training run; witnessing a particularly wonderful London Marathon has got Rob in a lovey-dovey place - and Paul's taking his first steps on the comeback trail. Featuring hill work, Paul's shoulder and book plans, a shout out for marathoners who didn't make it, the power of the penultimate rep, how - to paraphrase ABBA - one of us is drinking, an impromptu comedy reunion, gig-and-weekend report, memories of dog-gate, the magic of being metronomic, and some more of your fantastic PBs.
Thank you to Mark Maier and Alistair McGowan!
