It’s time to kick off your trainers and grab yourself a nourishing bowl of nonsense soup. This week Nick attempts to talk himself down from a major purchase by reading its tech specs and features out on mic. We talk about our broken old man backs, plan some dream desk setups, and go shopping for Lycra at Poundland. Jon drops an easy catch, Nick accepts that he just likes running, and we really hope that someone plays the noise.

You've waited too damn long for this episode for Jon to get precious about show notes. We talked a lot about his watch, and a bit about Panini albums. Or maybe we didn't. That bit might have got cut. Things to do: * Make sure you watch Halt and Catch Fire soon * Join our running club on [Strava](https://www.strava.com/clubs/runnerpod) * Jon wrote up how he feels about his headphones for a thing he never finished. Read that on the [blog](http://runnerpod.com/b/363f21f330de28/) See you next "week". Thanks to our hosting company Podiant for getting us into your ears.

Welcome back, it's been a long week. I'll be honest, I lost the show notes. But you don't read them anyway, and anything I write here will be lost like tears in rain. So, we will have almost certainly discussed fitness, running and tech. Let me know what this episode of the show is about by tweeting @runnerpod. Peace. ...
