The kids are back at school, the days are getting shorter, the jobs list is piling up, and Alex is getting angry. Angry at inanimate objects, angry at people, overwhelmed by all the things that would have been shared with his partner, if she were here. Could this be a continuation of the post-run blues? Maybe Alex is pining after the structure of race training. But with being a full-time dad, working full-time, and ferrying the kids to all their clubs means there's little time to go for a run. So how will Alex fit it all in? And how much weight has he gained since completing the half-marathon?Run Fatdad Run is written, presented and produced by Alex Regan.

Alex has completed the half marathon, but in the hours afterwards he's left feeling empty and wearisome. On the journey back to Yorkshire he has a stark reminder that his fiancée has died and, in reality, the run hasn't solved anything. Alex has a chronic case of the post-run blues. But on top of that, he is longing for the thing he can't have, his old life with Kelly. As he looks over pictures and videos of a holiday to Portugal five years earlier he's reminded of a Portuguese word. Saudade. It means a nostalgic longing for something, or someone, that may never return.Will this post-run blues completely derail the progress Alex has made? How can he get back on track?Run Fatdad Run is written, presented and produced by Alex Regan.

The summer holidays are always tough for parents with young children, more so for solo parents, and even more so for idiots who've signed up for a half marathon. Alex navigates the logistical and emotional challenges of solo parenting over the summer holidays, and the milestone of his daughter attending pre-school. And, although the half marathon training is going well, weight loss has stalled, so Alex invests in a meal prep service to help him on his weight loss journey.For Run Fatdad Run completists, here is a playlist of the songs that inspire the episode titles of the podcast: https://shorturl.at/1HOOsRun Fatdad Run is written, presented and produced by Alex Regan.
