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?
