We back! Welcome to the season opener where Allie and Kirsty spend ten minutes talking absolute shite before introducing the topic for season five - PROCESS.

We discuss what process actually is, why it's important and how a lot of us are getting it wrong, plus we marvel at how the women of the winter olympics are getting it right and why it's important to keep two eyes on the path.

The book Kirsty mentions is The Score by C.Thi. Nguyen.

It's the morning after the two days before and we have an exclusive interview with Damian Hall, one if only two runners who made it to the end of loop three at the Barkley Marathons 2026. Here we get a very tired insight into the conditions and route this year, and clarification on whether or not Damian actually did run the third loop with no shoes on.

In addition we have some crew insight from Allie on what it takes to crew a person with no tracker and no phone and with no idea of where they are or when they are coming in.

What fun we had.
