Recorded in January. Published in June. Because apparently editing podcasts is harder than running marathons.

This forgotten episode of How the F*CK Did We Become Runners? finds Ange and Robert setting ambitious goals for 2026 and confidently discussing what the year ahead will look like. Which is funny now, because life immediately laughed in their faces.

The longtime friends are still runners, but their paths are diverging. One is chasing bigger races and faster times. The other is about to get introduced to the joys of injury, a winter that seemed determined to never end, and the humbling realization that sometimes the goal is simply getting back to the starting line.

Think of this as a time capsule from a simpler era—back when January optimism was still undefeated and Ange thought she'd actually release this episode on schedule.
