This week Alan and Ian deliver a classic mix of chaos, comedy, community news, and heartfelt moments. From expanding the podcast onto YouTube, to broken ladders in the loft (yes… really), to warm‑weather wildfires and new Garmin toys — it's a proper catch‑up episode with all the usual Swift Half energy. They also take time to honour two huge losses in the OCR world, Jack Carpenter and Kev Lacey — reflecting on their impact, their kindness, and the legacy they leave behind in our community. But it's not all heavy. There's: 🏃‍♂️ John Weir smashing his World Autism Month fundraiser https://waam.autism.org.uk/fundraising/johnweir-1771621965222 🔥 Backyard Ultra drama ⛳ Golf tees as race prizes 👑 Libby Joyce crowned Spartan team captain 💪 1/2 marathon World Record ⚡ 5k sub‑18 at 62 🧩 Tough Mudder saboteurs 🏁 OCR Series standings 🎥 HYROX content, Deadly Dozen plans, Hybrid Games updates …plus the ongoing debate about elites racing in age groups. It's packed, it's punchy, it's very Swift Half.
