#36 | "Are We Doing As Much As We Can?"

About this episode

<p>We ran the London Marathon. We didn't train. We finished it. And then we had a conversation we weren't expecting to have.</p><p><br /></p><p>Halfway through writing this off as a marathon recap, we ended up admitting something neither of us had said out loud before. We talk a lot about wanting to be around as long as we can for our kids. But if we're honest, we're not always doing the things that would actually make that happen.</p><p><br /></p><p>This one's got the funny stuff. The rhinos overtaking us. The fireman in full kit with an air canister on his back. The stranger who fed Gaz crisps when his calf cramped outside a pub. </p><p><br /></p><p>But underneath all of it, the question we couldn't stop asking each other. Are we doing enough? And if we're not, when does that stop?</p><p><br /></p><p>Timestamps:</p><p>0:00 — Medals, recovery, and the post-marathon shock</p><p>1:00 — The trainer mistake nobody warned us about</p><p>3:30 — Hitting the wall at 25k</p><p>4:53 — How slick the event actually was</p><p>6:30 — Cody's Sark and looking for Mish in the crowd</p><p>7:34 — Tower Bridge and faking it for the BBC camera</p><p>8:35 — "I'd love to do it again, but I'd train this time"</p><p>9:00 — Why we're already signing up for next year</p><p>11:21 — The bug we didn't expect to catch</p><p>12:23 — The honest conversation about staying alive</p><p>14:14 — What you'd say on your deathbed</p><p>16:11 — The other dads getting stuck in19:07 — Sean's response when he saw Mish</p><p>19:33 — Ambitious About Autism at mile 25</p><p>21:13 — Garmin lies and the 22-mile detour</p><p>22:35 — The fridge runner and the dementia genes</p><p>23:34 — The best of London on one day</p><p>27:19 — Why the donations kept us going</p><p>29:51 — The crisps, the IPA and the kindness of strangers</p><p>35:01 — Crossing the line and the wave of emotion</p><p>35:32 — The voice note that made Gaz cry</p><p>36:48 — The school forgot Thomas's good luck present</p><p>37:41 — A shout out to Spot Limited</p><p>40:11 — Buying us a coffee mid-marathon</p><p>41:35 — Adam Parkinson and the Australian app</p><p>42:31 — The kick up the arse we needed</p>
