As Paul and Rob loop Clissold Park - just as they did in slightly more extreme conditions two days before - Rob reports on his virtual London Marathon. Featuring route rearrangements, next-level hazards, unexpected celebrities, troublesome gels, supportive family and friends, foul-mouthed wipeouts, classic film themes, finish line question marks and, of course, that weather.

Thank you again SO MUCH to all of you who have ‘bought us a coffee’ through the Acast Supporter button; you’re wonderful. Also, a huge thank you to everyone who has sponsored Rob for Parkinson's UK.
