Craig Parkinson

With Paul still wending his way home from the desert, Rob popped down to Hove to run with a great guest - British acting royalty Craig Parkinson, new to running and doing his first marathon next week. Featuring wrestling with the wall in your long training run, what things are going to feel like on the day, the rolling wave of readiness, memories of Two Shot Pod Craig's great acting podcast, Adriene and other lockdown memories, Paul's jelly baby, Rob's tips, fuelling, how whether you've done none or twenty-five a marathon is a big deal, people shouting stuff out at Craig - and how that might or might not help, pace and predictions, how all of human life will be there, cement mixers and lawnmowers, partner support - and supporter tips, Craig's charity, and when and when not to party. Thanks so much Craig; your London Marathon's going to be great.
