Then it's on to your questions: what really fuels a passion for running, how to face a big scary goal like a first 100-miler, and dealing with DNFs in running and in life.

This week, Huw has been up past his bedtime feeding 14 years of training data into an AI, and he walks us through what came back. Alice ran the Big Half with 25,000 other people, and Huw has a different view about her finish time. Then a listener asks us to rank the things that actually matter for runners, which gets Alice going about people fuelling long runs on low-sugar drinks, and the man who turned up to a race having eaten one banana.
