In this episode Dev and Sam head to Battersea Sports Centre to meet a very special guest, England netball captain, Serena Guthrie. They chat with her about her marathon training, the Netball World Cup and her love of music. She opens up to them about being diagnosed with Glandular Fever in the run up to the tournament, never skipping the songs she doesn’t like on a running playlist, and the mental benefits of running. She also challenges them to a BPM Beep Test (like a beep test but set to a beat!). Find out whether it was Dev or Sam that came out on top… with the loser having to do a gruelling forfeit.

It’s episode 1 and Dev and Sam are about to find out exactly how fit they are before they take on the challenge of turning themselves from beginner runner to marathon runner in 12 weeks.

There they meet Paul Hough, a senior lecturer, who administers a VO2 max test which takes them right to their limit. The loser then has to hand over their phone in a very embarrassing forfeit. 

Finally they meet coach Mark Draper who will be guiding them through this entire process. He talks them through their initial running training plan and gives them the low down on what to expect. There are also plenty of tips and tricks along the way for any novice or experienced runners listening.
