This episode is sponsored by the Wahoo Kicker Run, which we think is the best treadmill in the world.

And it's spring marathon season right now. Mark from the Running Channel is training to try and smash his personal best at the London Marathon using the Wahoo Kicker Run in the office, much to our annoyance sometimes actually. He does so many runs, but that's why the Wahoo Kicker Run is so useful to be there convenient for when he's doing double days. double days when he's doing uphill inc incline walks it's fascinating to see his preparation to essentially try and beat you and go sub 250 yeah it's a little bit rude and it's going to mean i'm probably going to have to run another marathon i also use the wahu kicker run to train for my marathon in valencia and mark actually used it to simulate parts of the under marathon course by uploading the gpx file so that you can follow the exact ups and downs of the profile of the course so it'll automatically adjust for you and actually feels like running on asphalt or hard pack trails so it does really simulate running outside the level of detail is amazing if you want to check out the wahu kick a run then head to wahu fitness or check out the link in the show notes we're going on tour and so excited about this. It was a deliberate pun because this episode is sponsored by On. So we're going On Tour with On for the On Squad Race. So we're going all over the world starting with South America. Buenos Aires. I cannot wait. The On Squad race has already started and we are going to five different locations to take part in this sick event. Yeah, we're going to be finding out all about the local running culture in three different continents, which is pretty cool for us. And racing up and down in a spiral car park, which I feel like is going to be a test in itself. Yeah, four by four relay, two men, two women on each teams. We're going to be captaining various teams when we take on these challenges around the world. And On is on a mission to ignite the human spirit through movement, which is what we're going to be doing by travelling all over the world and meeting all these amazing runners. And if you want to find out more about On Squad Race, then head to the link in the show notes. Welcome to the running channel podcast. Now we're not in the studio today, are we?

We are not. We are in the back of a London black cab, a London taxi, because we thought we

would come out today, relive different sections of the course and bring you along because you,

Rick Kelsey, finally ran a marathon and we are here to relive it with you.

This is wild. Yeah, I can't wait. And if you want to see Rick's lovely facial expressions

and some little clips from the marathon itself. Yeah, you're going to see clips. I forgot about that

bit. Yeah. Then you need to tune into our brand new podcast channel, which has been stressing me out

for the last few months,

but has gone off without a hitch, because you can also see this whole thing on YouTube,

so you can see exactly what we're sitting in right now.

We've got loads to talk about because it was a historic marathon for lots of reasons,

mainly because we got Rick round it.

London Marathon, 26. It did not disappoint. Let's get into it.
