The boys mark the Summer Solstice by wandering beautiful Wanstead in the sunshine. Rob says he's better - but he doesn't sound it; apologies for all the coughing. Featuring Paul's imminent trip to Dubai, which in turn gets us a glimpse into the world of the hotel men, inappropriate kit-off moments, seeking self-motivation, Paul's potential performance in the London 10k, Rob's theoretically gentler running plans, Sophie Raworth and Tom Cruise, swimming and cycling shenanigans, Pride and Prejudice, running and bears, the yin and yang of the half way point of the year, the sad sunshine disappearances, a funny fable from Dashiell Hammett, Paul's fashion advice, and Rob's day out in High Wycombe.
