It's Wednesday, the 10th of February 2016. I'm Martin yelling. He's Tom Williams and this is

episode 318 of Marathon Talk. I'm going to do. On this week's show we bring you not one but two exciting competitions Facebook

Friday reminices about your marathon mess-ups,

pressure mounts on Sebco, the US Olympic marathon trials are this weekend

there's pandemonium at the Discovery Half Marathon in Kenya.

Trending talk is brought to you by Unilite.

Tom speaks to Dr. Dan Gordon about marathon pacing.

You rate your run.

Stand atop the podium and show off your marathon talk kit all around the world.

How you doing, Tom?

Not as good as you, birthday boy.

Are you still sniffling or not?

Ugh. I reckon I'm almost there. I'm almost there. I'm not 100

percent. I'm still a bit... Yeah I can still hear that. Have you been training on that? Have you been running on that nasty cough and cold and well I've been very good. In fact I've seen some stuff about it. I don't know who's been tweeting about it about the whole above the neck below the neck thing.

So you know with a bit of a head cold it's kind of all right to take it easy if it gets onto your chest you shouldn't really do much.

I mean I've not run anything hard. I've not really

got out of breath properly for three or four weeks I'd say. Most of my runs are about nine minute

myling. I did run 15 miles on Thursday or Friday last week.

One day last week I ran 15 miles as part of my build up to two oceans.

It still only around 25 miles for the week, mind.

But, yeah, 50 miles, but I have to say, I felt a lot better than when I ran 10,

two weeks before.
