It's the 20th of March 2013. I'm Martin yelling. He's Tom Williams and this is

episode one six seven of marathon talk. I'm going to do.

So, I'm going to do. On this week's show there's just two weeks to go in Jantastic 2013.

We've both been running flat out. There's some news about blogs, fast fields,

inspiring winners and big race dropouts.

Yuki runs a PB again. Tom speaks at 103% age grading Libby James. Training talk covers racing

in a marathon build-up Tony brings us his trials. You rate your runs and the podium

is largely Spanish.

Tom, what you've been doing?

Well, like you, I've been running flat out, like you, I'm nowhere near my Marchfulest target.

We'll talk a little bit about that, won't we? What did you do? You ran 19...

Wow, 1954, I was at Leamington Park Run. There's a whole host of excuses which is good.

I have put down 1758, oh gosh in two weeks time. So it's a slow

course anyway it's got it's got a fairly steep hill on it but they they run it in reverse, which means you've got this big long sort of 2K climb,

and then you lose all that elevation in quite a short period of time.

So people seem to think it was between maybe a minute a half maybe a little bit more slower

than a fast course so 1954 I get I get those comments I hear it already right the

comment is yeah but the course was running slow.

Was it really? Was it really? The harsh reality of this is, you ran 1954.

Well, yes, nearly two minutes slower than my patients two weeks time at

we'll see I'm still confident we'd have this conversation before have we should

you be able to and I think the answer is you should actually alter your time
