A happy day as Paul and Rob set off from Rob's house for the first time in a long while - Paul is slowly but surely returning to form. Featuring wonderful Winter conditions, an unexpected moment of extreme Ultra training for Rob, a small but significant milestone on the road to recovery for Paul, shoes both responsibly sourced and illicitly dangled, parkrun report and Race to the Stones planning, some fun other runners, frost, deer, sunshine and a golden morning all round.

The Kate Bush Training Plan

Deepest, muddiest January, when the sky is grey and the cupboards are bare - but the running conditions are good and the year is spread out ahead of us. On a turn around Walthamstow Marshes and Springfield Park, Paul and Rob talk pants, sand dunes, sunken boats and scuttled parkruns, hill reps and Ultra planning and preparation.

A huge, special thank you for all your kind messages and donations through the Acast Supporter button over the festive season. You're beautiful people, and we love you. We won't just be able to buy a coffee - we won't just get a bottle or two of red - we'll be able to feed our families AND buy new shoes. So, as Rose and Giovanni might say, thank you - thank you - thank you.

Running, Reading and Rage

Paul is now fit enough to return to the moderately hard surface of the Parkland Walk - and Rob is back to being the one that tends to stop along the way - on this cold trot through the wintry woods. Featuring stories of angry strangers, Paul's parkrun and Rob's 10k report, book-related appointments, some great PBs and the welcome return of 'beans'.

Thank you, as ever, to all you lovely people for sharing your running adventures on the socials - and supporting us so generously through the Acast Supporter button.
