Running Commentary

Rob and Paul’s first run of 2021 was recorded pre-lockdown - but they could see it coming, so their resolutions are, shall we say, tentative. Featuring rhyming mantras, staying with Santa, consolidation, moderation, new runners, New Year’s honours, and… what rhymes with ‘plank’?
