It's Wednesday the 8th of October 2014. I'm Martin yelling. He's Tom Williams and this is

episode 248 of marathon talk. I'm going to do. On this week's show it's the week before the second plus net Yorkshire marathon and so we catch up with first-time Marithener,

TV teacher from educating Yorkshire,

Mr Matthew Burton, and top Marathon Hope, Dave Webb.

Martin and Tom were both down at the Bournemouth Marathon Festival.

It was also Chester Marathon this past weekend.

You rave about the return of a marathon.

didn't we and yes you have removed the seating in your office much

You're going to have to stand up.

Is that a frosty, frosty reception that you got off the back of that?

It was reasonably frosty.

Monday morning I came into the office nice and early with them all out and that's it's all the desk everything's propped up on boxes and books and up in the end I tell you what

Instantly you feel miles better. Do you find yourself leaning on the desk? No, not at all

Wow not at all. Well I'm interested to see how that goes. What else you've been up to? Last week did loads of stuff actually.

He went down to Winsor and celebrated Paul CBE. I tell you it's not every day you get to do that, is it?

No, it's not every day you get to do that.
