Paul and Rob set off from Newington Green into some stormy weather - just as they did nine years and four hundred and ninety-nine episodes ago. Featuring memories of a different world, how fast they used to be - as podcasters rather than racers, other anniversaries, where Paul and Rob were at in 2016, Rob's parkrun report, the swan police, the price of chocolate, what Paul did instead of parkrun, wonderful wives, troublesome taxes, feeling strong - but slow - getting physio and/or letting it go, and you, our wonderful listeners old and new.
