Rob and Paul tour the estate and check on their state in this, Running Commentary's four-hundredth episode. On a hot day at home, they talk memories of early days, relatives on the move, the little jumps that change your perspective, walking the wetlands, eschewing Glastonbury, foot care and foot craziness, parkrun preview, old habits and good decisions.
Happy four hundred to YOU, dear listener; it almost goes without saying that we are nothing without you. Thank you for sharing your adventures on line, for supporting us through Acast, and for giving us the privilege of coming along with you on your runs.

Sunshine blazes over Hampstead Heath as Rob and Paul take stock. Featuring kids at their outside-y best, flower power running gear, what, if anything they'd want from a watch, lockdown memories, Yorkshire Marathon training thoughts, that difficult second book, the folly of foolish influencers, the throbbing health of the Heath, noises and voices, Rob tree-climbing tree and Paul Bush-singing, and let's party.

Under June's blazing sun - and Highgate's leafy trees - Rob and Paul catch up on all their adventures, physical and spiritual. Featuring van hire, when dreams come true, the highs and lows of Zoom, yoga, transcendental meditation and checking in with yourself, being 'in the moment' in the face of curfews and memories, a lifetime in a loft, Scottish running adventures, the Parkland Walk being the perfect place for a fall, harmless-but-spooky caterpillars and - at long last - your PBs.

Hopefully Paul will be all better and back next week, but in the mean time Rob's in beautiful Hyde Park with brilliant Ivo Graham, talking about anything and everything. Featuring 'if in doubt, go out', Machynlleth memories, Egyptian Goslings, top-end trainers, Rob's runs in retrospect - and his Albert Hall gigs - scary dogs, Ivo not-quite running the London Marathon with his brother - and channelling Paul - licking frogs, being poetically disorganised, Gig Pigs and other music talk, the Graham family run, and, time-permitting, Taskmaster.
Thanks so much to Ivo; PAUL TONKINSON WILL RETURN.
Thanks to you all, for everything, as always. Happy running and take care out there.

With Paul still benched, Rob runs instead with lovely Ben Willbond - through the usual parts of North London, but on some new routes. Featuring Ben's knee, the Captain's challenge, the decision making skills of pregnant women, closed toilet drama, marathon memories, the deleterious effects of falling over as a career, Ben's mountain-related hopes, good and bad parenting, Horrible Histories and Ghosts, writing insights, complicity in comedy - whether it's sitcoms or stand-up - 'who's attached?', Rob's bulging backpack, whether the Mountain Rescue cover Highgate Woods, and running listening to music.
Many thanks to Ben; there'll be another exciting guest for you next week, but then...
PAUL TONKINSON WILL RETURN.

With Paul on the bench, our old friend Eleanor steps in. Featuring convenient conveniences, when and when not to run fast, how even good shoes have limitations, Tom Cruise on a cruise, Eleanor's Brighton Half Marathon story - featuring a shocking admission - countryside comedy and parkrun plans, big fish, the whys and wherefores of different distances, more details from Rob's Bannau Brycheiniog adventure, the long walk after a finish line, fuelling fun, and an interesting opportunity for east-London-based cyclists.

On the weekend Rob ran over 50k in Bannau Brycheiniog, Paul's final column for Runner's World hit the nation's magazine racks and doormats, so there's plenty for them to catch up is this sunny episode. Featuring Rob's riddle, Paul's regret, getting granular on the Pen y Fan massif, mud, mountains, potatoes and parkruns - but not quite Alanis Morisette.

This was Paul and Rob's second run this week; at this rate Rob's pre-event taper might have to wait til he's done all his events. Featuring green leaves, bluebells, good gigs, trail training, mud, motivation, fuel, fear and walking the hills of life.

Before, during and after Rob's 2023 London Marathon - plus Paul's big plan and your amazing PBs. Featuring when third place in an Ultra is not third place in an Ultra, how Denise Richards was going to help Rob run London, how the other half live on the start line, Rob's shonky feet and exemplary support team, the carrot that's going to inspire Paul's Race To The Stones, how Rob felt once the dust had settled, and a huge raft of incredible results from you guys.

The comfort of a classic Tonkinson turn - up the Walk and around the Woods - is welcome to a somewhat strung-out Rob in this episode. Featuring surprise chill, family drama, failing friendships, a poorly mother, a Tough Mudder, being famous and posh, Woodland Blooms, comedy slackers, toxic TV, and of course another looming marathon.

It's been a long time since Paul and Rob ran together, so their new-month catch-up on Hampstead Heath is overdue, meaning there's plenty to talk about. For example... running and not running on holidays, shonky superannuated feet, the treado, Rob wearing big shoes, Paul playing big rooms, incredible Ultra achievements, an exciting commitment for Tonkinson, musical marathon memories from Deering, segueing from Brighton to London, parkrunning on mara's eve, and a gauntlet laid down for 200 Minute Man.
This episode is dedicated to the memory of our friend Gareth Richards, a great comedian and a lovely man. RIP.

Rob comes to you live and direct from the 2023 Brighton Marathon, as Paul flies home from his tour.
Featuring serious fuelling, cold beginnings, a Preston Park summary, spotting loved ones on the course, inspiring drums, following and/or ignoring pacers, planning for the next marathon in the final mile of the last, and those all-important, hard-but-fun last yards.

Featuring a pet heron, a drop-and-roll, the Oscars, other comedians' trials and tribulations, gig-and-parkrun report, a variety of international accents, bumping into on-brand Jim, wave philosophy and dog distraction.

Rob and Paul take their new recorders for a freezing cold, snowy trot round Hampstead Heath, featuring little birds singing and small dogs yapping, runs up Norwegian mountains and around midlands parks - but not at events - Paul's adventures with his actual child, his inner child and people passing on, International Women's Day, Eilish McColgan's record-breaking 10k and your record-breaking PBs.

There are some exciting trails between Crouch End and Highgate, apparently, and in this episode Paul and Rob head off up 'em. Featuring finding your people, Rob's son turning eighteen, Paul's son walking the creative road, gig report, the joy of music, highs, lows and being in the moment, a few more of your questions - fancy dress, RTTS tips, dream running buddies - some strangely positive trouble in the woods, arbitrary disapproval and how to deal with it, and a little running-relationship counselling.

In this instalment Rob and Paul talk about great advice, sub-20 parkruns, running in books and movies, medals and events, that pre-marathon long run, the perfect event and a potential Deering-Yelling jaw-off.

In the first part of our Q&A special, Rob and Paul wrestle with all the big subjects: coming back after illness and injury, food - whether you're feasting or fuelling, drink - from electrolytes to two-bottle-Sundays, perfect places to run, what I talk about when I talk about shoes, how stretching helps, and how important is is to breathe. Plus more of your PBs and, perhaps the most important question of all: why doesn't Paul wear a hat?

Paul's back, and on a beautiful morning he and Rob head to Wanstead Park for a lovely turn through the woods and round the lakes there. Featuring Paul's trip to Ireland, Rob chasing mileage, the mirror-like lakes and grassy swards of the park, gig reports, adventures around Britain for Rob including a full Dudley parkrun report, Paul's friend the Doc with the tick-tocking clock, Sunday drinking, soft surfaces and some of your fantastic PBs.
