It's 22nd of February 2012. I'm Martin yelling do you know. I'm going to do. On this week's show we interview a legend of the golden era of British

middle distance running Steve Cram.

It's Marathon Talk Live Day.

We'll both be in Leeds this evening.

We update Fabulous and how well Martin's team of teams are doing

compared to Tom's High Park Harriers. Mary Cataney and

Mo Farrah run fast, runners go long in a bright and half. Training talk

it's all about how to work at your pace for a marathon you rate your runs and this

week there's a kiwi ranting Tom what have you been doing well I've been running the

single fastest mile of my entire life bring it on really downhill

Well it was downhill with a tailwind well it was kind of side wind I went out on Saturday night

I never run well after a rest day particularly

although I guess I did this time I never really run run well after a rest day and I

had a cross-country on Sunday morning I'd rested on Friday so I thought well I'm

going to go out on Saturday afternoon and I'm going to hit just a couple of hard miles.

I've got a little 3.8 mile loop for my house.

So I thought I'll do one mile easy, two miles hard, one mile easy to finish off.

And you know, I thought last time I did it I did I think 1226 I think for the two miles

So off I went off I trotted and I was running along the road and I had this just phenomenal tailwind for the first mile and a half.

It was like someone was pushing me in the back and there's actually a climb in the first mile,

but I've never run in such a dead straight tailwind.

It was amazing.
