Rob and Paul see February in on Hampstead Heath. Featuring early-run motivation - or lack-of, Paul's news - dogs-and-backpack related: Love don't live here anymore, embracing your reality - whatever that might be, staying up in the mud, gig report, Rob's Ultra mantra, the power of changing things up - and positive visualisation, when running is training, putting it all out there - or not - at parkrun, and later-life options for comedians.

Paul and Rob set off from Newington Green into some stormy weather - just as they did nine years and four hundred and ninety-nine episodes ago. Featuring memories of a different world, how fast they used to be - as podcasters rather than racers, other anniversaries, where Paul and Rob were at in 2016, Rob's parkrun report, the swan police, the price of chocolate, what Paul did instead of parkrun, wonderful wives, troublesome taxes, feeling strong - but slow - getting physio and/or letting it go, and you, our wonderful listeners old and new.

THANK YOU! HERE'S TO THE NEXT 500...
