It's Wednesday the 26th of February 2014. I'm Martin yelling. He's Tom Williams.

And this is episode 216 of Marathon Talk. I'm going to do you know. So, On this week's show we speak to a legend of British marathon running Bill

Adcox he ran 210 in 1968.

Jantastic is almost two-thirds complete.

The first World Marathon Major of the Year was in Tokyo last weekend.

Rupp gets beaten in the US indoor champs, there's a new record at the English

National Cross Country Champs and women know your place.

The podium is loaded and brisk, boy on the run is back and there's a listener chosen winner of the week

Tom how you been doing I tell you what I've been scaring the jeepers out of the yanks on my strava profile. Have you? They've been quaking in their Yankee boots?

Yep, they are quaking their Yankee boots.

Oh, it's lovely. 24 miles on Sunday with a final mile in 640 bring it on.

Wow, that's one run.

You've turned it round.

Wow, so it's been good actually.

It's funny because I had, I turned around within the week,

to be fair, because on the the Tuesday I think I had five six

hundreds scheduled by by Mr Fitzinger. It's probably the worst session of everything in my life.

Just absolute disaster just got slower and slower and slower. I like I think when I was doing my mile training I was doing my 600s in 151 or something like 152 which is five minute minling.

Didn't expect to do them in that thought I'd be under two minutes, I was finishing them I was

at 2-11.

Oh, which is not good.

I was just empty, had absolutely nothing.
