109: Race reflections, personal bests, and faulty indicators

On today’s show, Jake reflects on the Farnborough Half Marathon he ran with his girlfriend Martina at the weekend.

107: Sweat scents, human limits, & stolen eggs!

On today’s episode, Jake is proud of his achievements for the morning (largely consisting of sending a few motivational voice messages and doing a training kit wash) while Pete   the producer is very proud of the fact that he is one of the last remaining handkerchief users!?

Andy has worked with numerous elite athletes over the years, including Paula Radcliffe, and more recently, Elide Kipchoge during his first attempt at breaking the 2 hour barrier for the marathon in Nike’s Breaking 2 project.
