Episode Notes

We join Paul and Rob an hour into their long, wintry run from Chesham. Featuring an appropriately named pub, replacing salts on the trail, removing contact lenses in the desert, reaching one's limit in training - and running on, 'I am not my body / I am not my mind' and other useful ways of thinking, foot business, festivals, anticipating the Brighton Marathon, werewolves and deer, marathon tips in general, and arriving in Wendover, where their quest faces a major challenge...
