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

We ran the London Marathon. We didn't train. We finished it. And then we had a conversation we weren't expecting to have.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.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. 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?Timestamps:0:00 — Medals, recovery, and the post-marathon shock1:00 — The trainer mistake nobody warned us about3:30 — Hitting the wall at 25k4:53 — How slick the event actually was6:30 — Cody's Sark and looking for Mish in the crowd7:34 — Tower Bridge and faking it for the BBC camera8:35 — "I'd love to do it again, but I'd train this time"9:00 — Why we're already signing up for next year11:21 — The bug we didn't expect to catch12:23 — The honest conversation about staying alive14:14 — What you'd say on your deathbed16:11 — The other dads getting stuck in19:07 — Sean's response when he saw Mish19:33 — Ambitious About Autism at mile 2521:13 — Garmin lies and the 22-mile detour22:35 — The fridge runner and the dementia genes23:34 — The best of London on one day27:19 — Why the donations kept us going29:51 — The crisps, the IPA and the kindness of strangers35:01 — Crossing the line and the wave of emotion35:32 — The voice note that made Gaz cry36:48 — The school forgot Thomas's good luck present37:41 — A shout out to Spot Limited40:11 — Buying us a coffee mid-marathon41:35 — Adam Parkinson and the Australian app42:31 — The kick up the arse we needed
