    What if you had to race against boats on a soggy trail? Join me as I gear up for the adrenaline-pumping "Beat the Boat" 10K race in Eton and Windsor, where the excitement of running alongside boats adds a unique twist. I'll share my previous experiences, the muddy challenges we might face, and how park runs have helped me improve my speed work, despite my preference for solo runs. With unpredictable weather and inconsistent training, I'm determined to finish under 55 minutes and enjoy every moment of this unique race.

    As I prepare for the Abingdon Marathon after a 30-year hiatus, I discuss the importance of consistent training and the balance between work, life, and running. This episode delves into my pre-race rituals, the significance of trail shoes, and the forecasted light showers that could affect both the race and post-race celebrations. Despite feeling tired, I'm focused on beating my personal best time and contemplating the temptations of post-race socializing at the pub. Join me for an honest conversation about building confidence, overcoming fatigue, and the journey of rekindling my passion for running.

    Thanks for listening. Keep on running.
