It's Wednesday, the 22nd of January 2014.

I'm Martin yelling.

He's Tom Williams, and this is episode 211 of Marathon Talk. I'm going to do. On this week's show Tom's back from South Africa, we remember a legend of

British running. Galen Rupp goes fast, Meb takes his 22nd title. The UTMB fills up.

Training talk is about January marathon reflections.

Fantastic is bombing. Tony shares his trials and also news of a special event in April in Manchester,

you rate your run, the podium rocks. And we celebrate the global running community.

So, Tom, you're back. I am back. I tell you what, it's Baltic, isn't it? What's going on?

Oh, stop you moaning, so come on, you've been to South Africa and it was really hot and you running around

in your speedo's all weekend.

I took my Santa Manquini there fitted right in I can tell you.

Yeah it was good it was good it was good.

I mean it was a bit of a whistle stop tour. I went over on the Thursday night.

I was there for a meeting. We're meeting with Discovery Vitality, who sponsor Park Run in South Africa and in the UK.

So we had a meeting with them on Friday.

They're based over there in Johannesburg.

So we had a meeting Friday and Monday,

and we hung out with them a bit of the weekend.

And that was pretty good.

I wanted for a huge amount of time to do Delta Park Run.

It's one of, looking at the times, it's one of the slowest, toughest,

whatever you want to re-quote it, part runs we have.
