It's Wednesday, the 1st of October 2014.

I'm Martin yelling.

He's Tom Williams, and this is episode 247 of Marathon Talk. and talk. I'm going to do. On this week's show there's a new marathon world record we've got the second part of the Steve Mone Getty interview. There's an unusual

take on racing the train. Training talk thinks big boy on the run is back, hooters, take on Park Run. The

marathon talk Twitter list gets you out of your seat and the

listener podium is absolutely stacked. Tom, what have you been doing?

All kinds of things I have been missing the world record, which I think you missed too as well.

It was almost impossible to watch it on television, wasn't it?

Well, without, we'll come onto it, I'm sure, but without a great grasp of German of which mine is nine

I struggle to watch it yeah I did I must admit I did jump on the live stream a little bit did you well I did but but it was

but it wasn't oh dear I'm gonna sound terrible right now and it's kicking off the

show we've got a new world record and it's really exciting and all of that

but the live stream wasn't very exciting you

know what about five minutes of in German and thought well who they'll just be doing

this again in an hour I'll come back. It's a shame isn't it but it is a shame because that

stuff actually be really really available somewhere and exciting you you know, and exciting.

And exciting.

I want to watch what's happening.

I want to hear what's going on.

You know, here I am.

I really want to be a passionate consumer of our sport as a fan.

I couldn't really do that and it was the world, the fastest anyone's ever run over a marathon.
