Season 3 of Sporting Misadventures is on its way on Wednesday with a cracking opening guest.

[Sporting Misadventures with Chris Hoy @SportingMisadvn]

Morning folks. You will have noticed a bit of a hiatus with the podcast but with good reason. Chris' new book, All That Matters, is out today. Be sure to grab a copy. Chris and Matt are recording episode 1 of season 3 of the pod today with a cracker of a guest.

[Matt Majendie @mattmajendie]

It's publication day for All That Matters. It's been such a privilege to have been involved with this. Chris and his wife Sarra are truly remarkable people and this is such an inspiring and uplifting book.

A big thank you to this week's guest @themiltonjones for joining us before his Edinburgh Fringe run. He talked everything from tweeting @chrishoy to marking Mo Farah and this alternative running training with a rabbi.

It's been a while since our last episode but delighted to say a new one's on the way tomorrow. Here's a few highlights from season two so far in the interim.
