Episode 34 is here, and there is no shortage of action to unpack after the drama of the inaugural World Athletics Ultimate Championship and a stacked weekend of racing. In the training weeks, Dylan backs up a solid training week with a strong outing at the North West Road Relays, though he still had plenty of fuel left in the tank for a few classic rants.

Episode 23 is here, and somehow, Ben has once again proven that running makes absolutely no sense. After cutting a long run short thanks to an ill-advised breakfast decision, he somehow bounced back days later to run a season's best over 5k and continue building towards a PB attempt.
