It’s a full-on Off The Ball Breakfast Buffet as the gang goes from porridge trauma and hotel breakfast politics to the loudest noises you’ve ever heard (including low-flying Air Force jets over a French campsite).

The big talking point: Hyrox — and the Beijing chaos that had everyone asking where the line is in “competitive exercising”, plus the wider obsession with turning hobbies into side hustles, run clubs, and the whole fitness-industrial complex.

Plus: bucket-list sporting events, downhill mountain biking crowds that look like the French Revolution, and a “where are they now?” deep dive on football’s great disappearances.
