Alice checks in from NYC, where she’s frothing the birthplace of Pilates and accidentally joined a circus disguised as a track session (yes, there was a man planking with a TV on his head). She’s also signed herself up for another relay - Hood to Coast -  because apparently she’s a “relay girl” now.

Back home, Elise is out of the treadmill cave and back running with her kelpie Joey — who’s on her own fitness comeback. With the New York Marathon looming, Elise is embracing the “undercooked but on the start line” approach (with a side of Aperol spritz in Italy).

Expect rat tattoos, wine-tasting marathons, border security cheese smuggling and plenty of chat about how to get marathon-ready without breaking yourself.
