In 2006 I made the 800m final at the World Indoor Athletics Championships in Moscow. A year later I quit the sport for rock and roll. I was only 24 years old. I lost my way and put on weight over a 12 year period of boozing and rocking. In 2019 I decided something had to change, so I started running again. 5 stone later I ran a 34 minute 10km and I feel better than ever. Here is my story via the Megabus to the Ritz - your weekly night time commute to a better version of yourself.

My dreams have been haunted by the new Tesla Taxi that drives infinite loops around Llanelli.
This week I talk about the moment I lost a version of myself and found a better version of myself in the shower.
I discuss my running this week where I managed to run more than 70km for the first time since August last year.
Books discussed: Long Live The Post Horn! by Vigdis Hjorth and Panpsychism in the West by David Skrbina.
