In this week's episode, we talk about the good, the bad and the ugly of social media and running.

A well curated feed can be very motivational, but comparison with other faster, better, more fashionable runner can also be the thief of joy!

Then there is the hot topic of this week - Matt Choi’s disqualification and ban from the New York Marathon for bringing a film crew onto the course. Peta is outraged and Ange thinks it was a calculated move designed to increase his social capital.

What do you think?
