Straight On From Leyton

About this episode

We join Paul and Rob in Leyton, in the middle of their long runs. Featuring no maps only camels on the Marathon Des Sables, Hackney Marsh memories, Rob's training plan kicking off in Cambridge, Paul's pack procrastination, food-and-exercise report, touring schedules, when athletics become ascetic, new sights and old memories in Stamford Hill, terrible ideas for the night before a marathon, a surprise cemetery, and the final return to Church Street and Clissold Park, like salmon swimming back upstream - or tofu in Rob's case.
