It's Wednesday the 1st of May 2013 and this is episode 173 of Marathon Talk. So, I'm going to On this week's show we look back at some stats from the 2013 Virgin London

marathon and look ahead to some good for age times. There's news from the

Manchester marathon and we speak to both the men's and women's winners.

With the World R. I. A.F. Championships in Moscow in August, Kenya announced Marathon Probables.

Japan announced their team and British athletics announced theirs, kind of.

Training talk looks at how to respond after your marathon.

You rate your run and there's another fast podium.

Tom, what you've been doing?

Well, have I been doing all kinds of things?

I've been entering the single loop incorrect.

The what?

Yeah, the sing...

In fact, actually, I've already been corrected on that the single

Oh it's it sounds like something you shouldn't enter really.

Well eagle-eared listeners to the show who have been with us since the beginning

might remember a certain Leonard Comon running 2644 for 10k. That's

419 per mile by the way back in 2010 and I've been looking desperately for an

autumn something to motivate me for the autumn and to get me running again and I've lost my

running mojo and I like really big challenges where you really go for it and you put all your eggs in one basket.

So yeah and I remember this and I thought well I wonder when that is and it's September the 29th so training started yesterday I've done three runs already

22 weeks to go and I am gonna bag me a 10 K P. B in Holland.
