In this week's episode, Andy and Sarah are joined by Mo for an insightful discussion on fasting—an act of refraining from eating, and sometimes drinking, for a variety of reasons. They explore why people fast, whether for fitness, health, or motivation, and how some choose to fast for religious purposes. Mo shares his unique experience of training for the London Marathon while observing Ramadan, offering valuable perspectives on balancing both challenges.
