    Ep 4. Race week update! Plus gels, rugby, and juggling running with a non-runner partner.

    This week, Alice shares how her tune-up half-marathon went: her Nomio experiment, race kit, and why she may or may not have come third. We get into race day, gels, and pre-race breakfast. We also answer a listener's question about juggling big races when your partner doesn't run. Then, somehow, with a Welshman and a South African on the mics, it was inevitable that the subject would turn to the great game of Rugby, and what it was like growing up in very proud Rugby-playing nations. We ended up talking about rugby for quite a while. And we learnt someone else also cried all the way through Project Hail Mary, which Huw is very pleased about.

    Ep 2. The journey so far! Training, adventures and crying in movies.

    This week, we discuss the big running goal we are each working towards and the why behind doing so, given we are two average runners who aren’t elite or getting paid to do this! Alice shares her journey recovering from stress fractures and her aspiration to run a sub-3-hour marathon. Huw shares his plans to move back to the UK and his interest in attempting the Paddy Buckley Round, a challenging trail run in Snowdonia. We also discovered we both cried watching a movie this past week, and share the lessons we are taking from it in both running and non-running life. Finally, we answer a spicy listener question regarding societal perceptions of gender in sports. Plus more fun topics.
