We hear from a listener in Northern Ireland who was inspired by our episode with Jordan Adam of the The FTD Brothers so has decided to do five marathons in five continents and would like advice on how to approach them.. A dog walker gets in touch to find out how to combine training with a very physical job and we talk about transitioning from ultra run training to marathon training. PLUS we have The Honours Board which is super special this week - go on have a listen to find out why! Also, please keep sending videos and photos.. We put them all on our video versions of the episodes which you can find on YouTube. We'd love to hear more from you with your questions, comments and nominations for the Honour's Board and don't forget you can also WATCH and comment on the episode on YouTube.
