## Resource

Episode 70 marks the return after a suspiciously long break. New year, big promises: structure, regular releases — all said confidently before immediately talking over each other. We apologise for disappearing, announce a bold new plan, and realise mid-episode that it might already be failing. Tim finally reveals the unresolved cliffhanger from last year: 25 days into 2026 and he still hasn’t run. Injuries, creative definitions of “training,” and whether the year really counts yet are all debated. We look back at last season’s predictions, make fresh ones for 2026, and roll straight into resolutions we probably won’t keep. The apology section makes an inevitable return, loose ends get tied up, and Orienteer Pod is officially back.
