It's Wednesday the 16th of July 2014. I'm Martin yelling. He's Tom Williams

This is episode 236 of marathon talk I'm going to So, On this week's show women's

on this week's show women slow down less than men

there's mow down over mow.

We look at the home nation's women's team for the Commonwealth Games.

The Scottish Parade Kit causes a stir.

Killian Jernay breaks the hard rock 100 record, boring the runners back.

Training talk hits the track. Plus there's the usual

rate you run, this nap podium, and Facebook fun. Tom, what up?

What up? What is up? I ran the echup tail on Sunday.

So how did it go? We did say at the end of last week's show that you were going to do the run, so come on, how did you do 66 minutes 70 nearly 76 75 okay 50 or 50 or

you feel off that well it's exactly what I thought I do. I think beforehand I said 75 so it was about right. I absolutely, I mean, I went as I could. I'm, it's a tough old, I tell you what, it's a tough old run, hilly in the back half with a big hill to finish.

I started right at the back, I don't know how many starters there were about 700 or something.

I started right at the back just to force myself not to go off too hard.

I think when you're not in your normal state level of fitness,

the last thing that goes is the first 10% of the race the race isn't it so you can you could

toddle off at normal speed for about 10% of the race distance whatever it is and

then suddenly you think whoa hang on a minute so I thought if I start right at the back with a load of mates and I kind of just wander through the field and have stopped a few times to have a chat with a few people as I go through the field. It be kind of nice I'll build it and build it

not some conversational but just so I can say how you doing how you doing yeah good

one see you and so is it just because you wanted like the ego trip of overtaking

people I know what you like I know what you like I

I tell you what there was no ego trip because for the last I did of course
