Rob catches up with Brighton's finest, the brilliant Zoe Lyons, for a running chat that features christmas parties - and hangovers, Zoe's year - including joining the SAS, the surprising shyness and social discomfort of some show-offs, 2023 event report - with a South Coast focus, why trail-running in particular is good for the soul - although it gets your shoes dirty, Brighton events past and future, billionaire behaviour - and other big beasts, diving and other innuendos, and Zoe's bravery and pain threshold; three words: next James Bond.

Thank you so much Zoe; we love you.
