It's

on 30th of October 2013. I'm Martin to do. So, I'm going to do. On this week's show we've got the first part of our interview with

legendary snooker player Ronnie O'Sullivan, a roving reporter in Frankfurt, we preview the final major marathon of 2013,

the listener podium is back, and Martin Reese sets yet another world age record. Tom, what have you been doing?

Well, I haven't been setting any world records, that's for sure. I have, however, been banking my first week of

base training leading up to Manchester

bringing on only 23 weeks to go 23 weeks yesterday. Are you in countdown mode

already? I am in countdown mode already. So what's your what's this base phase looking like for you then? I'm just

trying to run. I mean you know I'm just not been running very much recently I

had a really good summer running didn't I? It went really nicely and I started getting

mileage and I kept getting injured. So I'm just trying to run. Last week I got 40 miles in and

finished with the Harewood 10-mile race which I treated as a long training run. I ran around with

my mates Ken and Chris early on then my mates Dew Ross towards the end and wholly conversation

all the way and just try to get a good solid off-road 10 miles and I think we ran 75

minutes for for 10 hilly muddy rainy windy miles.

Excellent well I'm I guess I'm I'm doing a similar thing actually I think I say at the end of the show but really I'm trying to

get to grips with running regularly as well but I hadn't thought of it in terms of a buildup

for Manchester Marathon just yet I think that that seems a bit far away. It feels a

bit far away for me yet. I need to get myself back running regularly after the

disruption of the two boys, the two additional boys in the house, which we're kind of getting used to now.

You know, I'm used to seeing them around and being up most of the night.

But it's all going well well but it doesn't do you
