<p>This week, Alice has the Big Half on Sunday, her last race before Chicago, and a Strava crown on a segment she’s fairly sure nobody else has ever attempted. Huw is back from two weeks in Wales and already thinking about his next trip away to train, which takes us into a deep chat about training camps -  what they look like, what the point of them actually is, and more. Then it’s on to listeners’ questions. The first: where do we draw the line between healthy and unhealthy ambition, from someone whose partner reckons he’s already crossed it. The second comes from a 41-year-old who took up running two years ago and still fights the instinct to quit when things get uncomfortable - can that kind of grit be built later if you didn’t grow up with parents who pushed you?</p><p><br></p><p>Contact us<br>Email: <a href="mailto:twoaveragerunners@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">twoaveragerunners@gmail.com</a><br>Instagram: @huwjedwards @dralicepenn @two.average.runners</p>
