This week's episode is a recap of the Unity 5k in Birmingham, a mass participation event on the European Championships marathon course.
I also look back at the challenges of running on holiday whether it's navigating heat and hills in France, poor sleep in stuffy trains and hotel rooms or different nutrition and training routes.
Finally, I look at some of the performances that stood out from the championships and what we can take from them in our own running and races.
If you feel you're losing your way a little with training, nutrition or racing then one to one coaching might be the next right move for you. Find out more at: www.therunningrules.com/coaching
