In this week's episode we talk about holidays, our favourite places and where we are dreaming of going after lockdown?  We'll be asking each other about training on a break and holiday diets.   But we also can't resist having a good old chat about 'Megan and Harry's Oprah Winfrey Interview', which aired last night.   And really, our main point is that if you feel like exercising on holiday, you should go for it. And if you want to take a complete break, you should do it guilt free!  We'd love to hear from you:  TS12pod@gmail.com
