It's Wednesday the 26th of September 2012. I'm Martin yelling. He's Tom Williams and this is episode

142 of Marathon Talk I'm going to do. On this week's show we have what might be our most controversial interview ever as

Professor Tim Nokes discusses his thoughts on carbohydrates.

Yuki does the double.

There's a promising racing return for British marathon at Andrew Lemicello and our most

inspiring Magic mile ever.

We take a look ahead to this weekend's Berlin Marathon.

Tony brings us his weekly trials. The podium is full.

And training talk is all about getting strong in the head

when the going gets tough. Tom, where have you been?

I have been Barrow Park running up north in Cumbria. It'd been a year's, what would you call it smack down with planned in advance with me and

Dave Parker marathon taught listener and Barrow Park Run event director along with Andy and

Stue and all the team there you a fantastic job week and week out I've been

waiting all year to go back for I've been training hard as I can, been getting loads of stick from Dave, and he pulled out injured.

Oh, Dave, you pull out injured. Isn't Barrow Park Run the most remote run in the world?

Well I think Kambastin in Afghanistan could probably lay claim to that.

In the far north of Scotland is fairly remote, but they do call it a 90-kilometer cul-de-sac

baron-furness, don't they? So it is fairly remote. Although, having moved to where we are,

it's a little bit closer now, it took about two hours to get there. And I had a jolly good run actually.

Last year on their first ever run, I absolutely smashed myself

to run 2050 on a really, really hilly course.

It's as tough of course as we courses we've got I think Yorkshire tough.
