Paul is away having adventures, so runner extraordinaire, world record holder and erstwhile friend-of-the-show Kate Carter steps in for a sunny turn around beautiful Battersea Park. Featuring memories of running on an empty tank, gatecrashing a movie set, the blessing and the curse of chasing times, panda costumes and space suits, marathon memories and London anticipation, a 50k and a composer faux pas, VHS and Betamax, how living in the future turned out, Kate's Cutty Sark theory, how pacing helps the pacer, and some lovely crocuses.

Thanks so much Kate; PAUL TONKINSON WILL RETURN.

And thank you to all of you, as ever, for your continued support through the Acast button, and for sharing your fascinating and diverse running lives with us; you're beautiful people and we love you.
