#160: The Ladds take on Rome - catching up with brothers Jonny and Phil on training for marathons with a busy lifestyle

Today's episode is a special one as I bring in both my brothers Jonny and Phil to talk about how training has been going for Rome marathon and what the plan is for the weekend itself.

We cover why we are all drawn back to the marathon despite its challenges, tackling heat in marathons last year and even sibling rivalry.

We lay down what the aim is on race day, what happens if we split and where we might go for our next marathon together.
