How do you choose the right swimming lane or the right pace group for a club run? We talk about the challenges and benefits of mixed ability group work and along the way we discuss fitting training into our lives. Nick owes Shelter a lot of money, Jon has joined a cycle gang by mistake, and we open a bitter feud with our favourite top tier podcaster. ## This week * How [clock speeds ruined Nick’s life](https://protyposis.net/clockdrift/). * Even the [experts have this problem](https://twitter.com/marcoarment/status/361592165257850882?lang=en) and [if they’ve fixed it they’re not sharing](https://twitter.com/ericleamen/status/408750535937110016?lang=en). * Some specialist podcast production software: [Hindenburg](https://hindenburg.com/), [Zencastr](https://zencastr.com/), [Cast](https://tryca.st/). * Running groups UK wide: [Park Run](http://www.parkrun.org.uk/) and [Great Run Local](http://www.greatrunlocal.org/). * Shelter training plans (PDF): [half marathon](https://england.shelter.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0019/1322650/OBR-1272_Running_training_guide_half_marathon.pdf), [marathon](https://england.shelter.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0009/1322649/OBR-1272_Running_training_guide_marathon.pdf). * Evans [Fix It](https://www.evanscycles.com/help/servicing/bike-maintenance-classes) courses. * [Thank You Bicycle Repair Man](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U01xasUtlvw). * [The cycle helmet debate](https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/mar/21/bike-helmet-cyclists-safe-urban-warfare-wheels). * The [peloton](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qk8VYD7i-zw): [here’s the scientists explaining it](http://www.science20.com/small_world/what_peloton_and_how_does_it_work-30523). * [A primer on bike tyres](https://totalwomenscycling.com/road-cycling/maintenance/the-demystifier-everything-you-need-to-know-about-tyres#yfyqgoCk37y1Gw8Y.97). * [SwimFit training cards](http://swimfit.com/swimfit-activate/). * [Jon’s embarrassing lycra problem](https://www.instagram.com/p/BVeniRkFMe-/). * [Nick pays his dues](https://twitter.com/runnerpod/status/897105070784958465). * [Do By Friday](http://dobyfriday.com/)’s personal attack on Jon.

After the Rian Johnson inspired avant-garde episodes 18 and 19, we settle back into a more accessible edit. This week we have a live reveal of our Great North Run ballot results. We talk Bluetooth headphones, Jon gets a nosebleed from playing at the highest level of football he’s ever reached, and we make plans to discuss our favourite running movie, The Barkley Marathons. Nick has fallen for the advertisers' tricks, Jon keeps things really clean, and we fail to get to grips with the millennial space race. * [Jon talks Trainspotting on Via VHS](https://viavhs.podiant.co/e/35ea8513598e2e/) * [Hindenburg | Radio editing software](https://hindenburg.com/) * [OnePlus says up to 40,000 customers were affected by credit card security breach - The Verge](https://www.theverge.com/2018/1/19/16908990/oneplus-credit-card-security-breach-investigation-40000-affected) * [Discussion of voice synthesisers on Beware of the Leopard](http://btlpodcast.com/e/35ee305d3c9e12/) * [Star Tours the Adventure Continues: Star Wars Attraction | Disneyland Paris](http://www.disneylandparis.co.uk/attractions/disneyland-park/star-tours-the-aventures-continue/) * [South Staffordshire FA Veterans (Division 2)](https://fulltime.thefa.com/ff/LeagueDetails?leagueid=19643855) * [Jon’s headphones](http://amzn.to/2C1Nffo) * [Nick has ordered the “Ultimate Zero-Compromise Total-Wireless Earphones” on Indiegogo](https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ultimate-zero-compromise-total-wireless-earphones--2#/) Next time we will discuss The Barkley Marathons: The Race That Eats Its Young—[watch it now on Netflix](https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/80076413) or [buy it on Amazon](http://amzn.to/2nQSmdk).

## We have had listener feedback! * Jenny says she gets what we’re doing but it’s not really for her. She also told us about the ITV documentary _[Trouble in Poundland](http://www.itv.com/presscentre/ep1week25/trouble-poundland) _ and the fauxblerone—[Poundland’s own brand Brexit Toblerone](http://www.mirror.co.uk/money/poundland-selling-pre-brexit-toblerones-10647376). * Steve tweeted us to recommend _What I Talk About When I Talk About Running_ by Haruki Marukami; “it helped me think about running in a new way”, he told us. Nick and Jon have committed to reading it soon and dedicating some airtime to chatting through it. Why not [buy a copy](http://amzn.to/2uZ5nHD) now so you can join in (it’s also available on Audible, so you can think about it while running). * The book about running Matthew Inman (of _The Oatmeal_ ) is called _[The Terrible and Wonderful Reasons Why I Run Long Distances](http://amzn.to/2uudFpm)_ * This is what [Jon did on his stag do](http://monopolyboardpubcrawl.com)—but did he finish it? * Ben says [_Wild_ by Cheryl Strayed](http://amzn.to/2urO9zu) is a way better book about the PCT than the terrible book Nick has been reading ( _[The Last Englishman](http://amzn.to/2sXilB7)_ , see [episode 2](http://runnerpod.com/e/3549fb61ce9574L/)). Ben knows books well—he runs a [newsletter](http://tinyletter.com/benjiw) for reading recommendations and it’s really nice to get each month. * Nick and Jon have been [arguing about who loves High Fidelity the most](https://twitter.com/jonhickman/status/888997573389942785). * Nick recommends _Accidental Billionaires_ on Audible (or [as a book](http://amzn.to/2vXwiQB)). * If you have any feedback for us please tweet us @[runnerpod](http://www.twitter.com/runnerpod) or email [email protected] ## Jon’s marathon training Jon is now on week 12 of a [16 week plan](https://www.bupa.co.uk/health-information/directory/r/running-programme-marathon), ...
