The comfort of a classic Tonkinson turn - up the Walk and around the Woods - is welcome to a somewhat strung-out Rob in this episode. Featuring surprise chill, family drama, failing friendships, a poorly mother, a Tough Mudder, being famous and posh, Woodland Blooms, comedy slackers, toxic TV, and of course another looming marathon.

Congratulations on all your marathon and other-event successes - we'll round up the PBs next week - and thanks for sharing all your running adventures with us on line. Last but not least, thank you once again to all of you who have ‘bought us a coffee’ - or more - through the Acast Supporter button; you’re all wonderful. We love you - namaste.
