  • Is Sarah ok?

    Try so hard to enjoy this podcast but finally giving up. I refuse to believe Sarah finds something breathtakingly hilarious every 30 seconds but alas she will cackle and gasp to fill the space. Also quite tiresome relentlessly hearing that she has run a sub 20 5k. Good insight from Andy though and some good old stories
