  • I've Never Made a Pana Cotta
    Jan 31 2024

    Two things that Rob has never done is make a Pana Cotta and run 100 miles. Which one of these two monumental tasks do you think he is going to attempt in 2024. I'll give you a clue, it does not involve him being in the Great British Bake Off. Rob will be running two 100 mile events later this year, raising money for The Hope House Hospice (https://www.hopehouse.org.uk/) and West Mercia Search and Rescue (https://westmerciasar.org.uk/). In this new episode we chat to Rob about the two charities he is helping and his training schedule, process and techniques. Much if the two challenges involve hill running so we hear about how this will need a specific approach within the training regime.
