It’s T-2 until Marathon Day. The trainers are being laced. The talc is being applied. And the Ass Magic is getting to work. This is the pre-game build up. That half an hour where Carragher and Neville talk about a variety of hypotheticals. Do you find the marathon talk boring? Well it’s what we’re doing, so ‘jog on’. But that does mean we’re getting very close to the final boss of Running To Win and Hating Yourself. And whisper it quietly, but no matter how he gets on this weekend, the John who used to hate exercise should be very proud of how far he’s come. But it’s not a marathon, it’s a decathlon... of content. Those events include: John crying at a dating show, Elis not getting Buddhism, and eating 6 baked potatoes in 24 hours. Got anything for us? Well ping it over to hello@elisandjohn.com
