As March's beautiful weather fades and the temperature drops, Paul and Rob take one of those runs that remind us how lovely the world is, even on cold, grey days. Plus, of course, they've got lots to talk about; the weekend's adventures, from the thrills of Paul's social event of the season to the spills of Rob's van hire, trouble at the Oscars, birds, art, crazy boats and fairy rings, and running - lots of running - as more of your PB's flow in, and exciting events start crowding on the horizon.

Spaniel In The Works

Why does Rob need a gentle turn on Clissold Park's soft surfaces? Has Paul finally found his 'Why?' for the Marathon Des Sables? These questions and more are answered in this episode, along with the boys' musings on MDS prep, Jasmin Paris and the Barkley Marathons, searching for the hero inside yourself, questionable advice, when life outside running gets TOUGH - particularly on Rob's wife - a Half Marathon... kind of, some surprise vermin, showbiz fun, chasing catharsis, potential timings and tentative tapers.
