    Wifely Woes And Miserly Whys

    Wifely Woes And Miserly Whys

    Why does Rob need a gentle turn on Clissold Park's soft surfaces? Has Paul finally found his 'Why?' for the Marathon Des Sables? These questions and more are answered in this episode, along with the boys' musings on MDS prep, Jasmin Paris and the Barkley Marathons, searching for the hero inside yourself, questionable advice, when life outside running gets TOUGH - particularly on Rob's wife - a Half Marathon... kind of, some surprise vermin, showbiz fun, chasing catharsis, potential timings and tentative tapers.

    Catching Up

    A drizzly turn around Hampstead Heath, where the Spring flowers are blooming and the birds are enjoying the woods, for a good catch-up after Rob's week away. Featuring Paul's new watch - and the occasional clonk of his new bottle, muddy running, an exciting, sociable run and a relentless solitary run, gig report, the big match, the Margot Robbie double bill, and a shedload of PBs.

Makes me smile every time

This is by far my favourite podcast- and I listen to A LOT of podcasts. It’s great to listen on a solo run, feels like you’re having a lovely catch up with mates, except you don’t need to worry about doing any talking. Makes me smile every time, often makes me grin at random strangers.
It’s the only podcast I’ve ever subscribed to, as I’d definitely buy these two a drink if I could.

addicted to Pdcsts ,

Power.

Feel my power!! 🤣

Two blokes running . . .

Listened from the start and really enjoyed it. Last 6months though it’s become the Rob D show, I get the injuries to PT, but every time PT starts a story or anecdote RD jumps in with a song that isn’t funny, stupid noises or sumat about him & PT stops speaking. I’ll stick with it but Rob is getting annoying.
