We're joined in the studio by RW columnist and nutritionist Kim Pearson to talk about the pros and cons of a vegan diet for runners.

February 15, 2020 Special: We speak to Nike about the alphafly
Jane went out to New York for what Nike were calling its 'Olympic Summit' but it turned out to be the global alphafly launch, so armed with her microphone she recorded this special episode, interviewing Tony Bignell, VP of footwear innovation and finding out what the latest ruling from World Athletics really means in relation to this shoe, what Nike are doing to meet the new rules and the greater implications to the sport. She then caught up with KJT and Dina Asher-Smith to discuss their preparation for Tokyo 2020.

This was recorded at a live event so the audio in places is patchy. This special has not been sponsored by Nike.
