It's Wednesday, the 17th of September 2015. I'm Martin yelling. He's Tom Williams. This is

episode 297 of Marathon Talk. book. I'm going to see. On this week's show we talk about that British athlete implicated in the doping scandal,

Mo wins the Great North Run, the New York City Marathon looks set for a scorcher.

We interview author of the book The Bolt Supremacy, Richard Moore, Tom's on form.

I'm not. You stand proud on the Jabra podium, rate your runs and show us where

you've been in your swanky classic black.

Oh yes.

Come on and Tom, Start bigging yourself up.

Hey, I've not mad.

I managed to smash 20 minutes at Park Run on Saturday with a wonderful 1975.

Brilliant. Always good. 1975. 2015 wasn't it? Yeah really pleased actually really pleased

didn't know the course it's a great course little two laper

fast down in a 8 k isn't it for you have 4.75

a fast downhill start bit of a hill at the end, but nice, round a beautiful lake in a lovely park, went absolutely as hard as I could. And looking back on it, I don't think I really could have gone any harder paced it much better I

think knowing the course I might have been able to find another five or so seconds maybe

because it was a technical course to run and knowing how much to save for the hill at the

end and all that but it was really good I really

enjoyed it went really hard it's eighty second improvement over the first six weeks of

my program that I'm following written by Matt Barnes and I've got to find 76 seconds in the next six weeks to get under 19 minutes so

You're on it. It sounds like you are on it. Yeah, it's good and then have to say I'm really I like the fact that like we obviously we wrote the

program or map put the program together and we put it in a Google dock that people can

see and it's not this is the schedule you should do but it's so this is Tom's
