Rob is joined by Gavin Boyter, author of Downhill from Here and Running the Orient, for the second leg of an epic turn around North London's most verdant spaces. It's a triple toe-in-the-water for would-be Ultra runner Rob, as Gavin takes him many a long mile, dispenses some distance-running tips, and tells some hair-raising tales - although Rob is not planning to run the length of Britain or the breadth of Europe - like Gavin has - quite yet...
