Dad Does Drugs episodes:

December 19, 2019 Run Forrest Run
In October 2018 Mark is building a great endurance base, while Bob is still struggling for fitness as he recovers from a long term Achilles injury.
Inspiration is not hard to come by however, in the form of a lovely long transatlantic conversation with Rickey Gates, about his successful (just) BGR, running every single street in San Francisco and right across the USA.

December 19, 2019 Moving Bones
After supporting a successful BGR attempt in 2018, Mark & Bob commit to have a go themselves in June 2019.
For Mark that means maintaining his excellent fitness, beard and collection of expensive waterproofs.
For Bob it will require being able to run more than a mile without crippling Achilles pain. To help with this he goes to see biomechanics analyst, posture & movement specialist, running coach, barefoot hippy, dog lover and all round good egg Helen Hall.
