#531 - Trauma Shirts, Pavarotti the Hamster and Paula Radcliffe

Elis James and John Robins

Quick hypothetical Q: If you’re running a marathon for the first time (because you’ve realised your bones actually aren’t too heavy to run) and you want to get advice from someone, who do you turn to? Roger Bannister? Not possible. Forrest Gump? Not possible again. Oh, what about the world class athlete who held the record for the fastest women's marathon for 16 years? What, Paula Radcliffe? Yeah, just a bit mate! Strap in for some gold-plated advice from one of the best to ever do it. Elsewhere Elis has been Cymru Connecting like there’s no tomorrow. He’s going back to the 60s, he’s getting maiden names confirmed, he’s Derren Browning wedding guests who haven’t even asked for it. Can his midweek connecting help his in-game performance? Lastly Dave drops the bombshell that he’s got guinea pigs, but don’t worry, he hasn’t got lad ones. If you’re enjoying what you’re hearing/seeing and want to get involved, you can! Via the magical medium of email. Just send your bits and bobs to hello@elisandjohn.com. For lots of exclusive EJJR #content, join our Patreon at patreon.com/elisandjohn . For weekly visual highlights, head to youtube.com/@elisandjohn . For everything else, head to elisandjohn.com . The Elis James and John Robins Show is a Significant Production. Hosted on Acast.
