New year running

Happy new year, Pod Squad! We’re straight into it, thinking about resolutions and running, and annoying emails from people who expect me to run a marathon with about two weeks training. We do eventually get on to running you’ll be pleased to hear to chat about Hol’s training – only to have a moan about why some runs seem easier than others for no apparent reason. We talk for AGES about Gavin & Stacey, all pretty standard, but leads me on to a ramble about Eldorado – apols for anyone born after 1973 for that one. We have a bit more 2024 quiz, which shames me into admitting zero knowledge of US politics, or indeed UK, while remembering the birthday of Mel C. Sorry mum.
