Is this the real life, or scripted reality? This week, we’re caught in a time travel paradox as Nick gets his wish for an evening record—and instantly regrets it. We talk marathon recovery, we discuss bat and poo memes, we get emotional about cricket, and we drink (responsibly). Nick proves that he’s a grown up, Jon proves that he’s not, and we deliver on our listener guarantee to be “increasingly infrequent” with our longest edit yet. ## This Week * [Jon’s Rider](https://twitter.com/runnerpod/status/909028521955258368) * The scientists _do_ say [that cashews are poisonous, sometimes](http://www.living-foods.com/articles/rawcashew.html) * Amaretti Biscuits are made of [apricot kernels, and contain cyanide](https://www.robinsandsons.com/blogs/blog/180247431-history-of-amaretti-biscuit) and people used to like doing this [flying trick](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1ppo21Enj0) with them. * [Bat video](https://www.facebook.com/pg/tadhgflemingvideos/videos/) * [Tinder date poo lady](http://mashable.com/2017/09/05/poop-tinder-date-fire-department/#y1hsB8FuFaqo) * The Dennis Quaid movie [_Frequency_](http://mashable.com/2017/09/05/poop-tinder-date-fire-department/#y1hsB8FuFaqo) * [Batter bits at the chippy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scraps_\(batter\)) * Cramps, electrolytes, powders etc. [some thoughts here](https://www.runnersworld.com/health/how-to-treat-leg-cramps-while-running) * Mile/km markers—how should they count?

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.
