Rob runs - down by Tower Bridge - with Edward Ndiritu who is running the London Marathon dressed as a rhino for Save The Rhinos on Sunday, after travelling over from Kenya, where he protects the rhinos - and other endangered species - in real life! Also featuring the For Rangers Ultra, in incredible multi-stage event through the Namib Desert, where all those iconic animals roam.Thanks so much Edward.

Featuring a heated girdle, the new fitness of Deering '26, highs and lows on the last long run before London, taper talk, fear of not finishing, fear of not running and fear of heights, the Marathon Des Sables - and the Sophie Raworth / Paul Tonkinson writing comparison, plans and contracts, the nature of the future, Tonks' C2C prep, ultras for everyone, booze-and-parkrun report, competition as conversation, George, the world's fastest miles and elite runners not making the effort, and Rob's fallophobia.
