Dear reader,

The Covid-19 pandemic is often compared to that of the Spanish flu in 1918, for obvious reasons. Not all of the comparisons work, but there is one possible similarity that would be most welcome. Jeremy Warner argues in his column this week that the coronavirus could spark the same kind of economic surge that created the Roaring Twenties.

Over the past year or so, a number of surprise results in “ultra running” have raised a tantalising question: is there a distance at which women might be able to regularly outperform men? Ben Bloom delves into the world of 250-mile running races and talks to the experts to find out whether the answer might just be yes.

Finally, Parkinson’s is a terrible condition that often devastates families, but in the case of Pen Keyte and Joss Hartland-Swann it came with a remarkable silver lining. Ms Keyte recounts for The Telegraph the wonderful story of how her involvement with Parkinson’s UK led to a reunion with, and marriage to, her teenage sweetheart after five decades apart.
