It's

Helen of November 2017. I'm Liz Yelling and she's Helen Williams and this is

episode 408 of Marathon Talk. I'm going to see. On this week's show, Dowie Griffiths runs 2009 in Frankfurt, Mo splits from Alberto and there's controversy in Dublin.

You ask us anything in Facebook Tuesday.

Training talk gets you back on your post-pregnancy running feet.

Helen and I chatter by life after serious athletics, plus you guys rock

your kit around the world, stand atop the podium and climb about the launch pad. Helen what have you been doing?

Oh I've been getting my head kicked in by the kids for half term I'm sure you have as well.

So I've been really enjoying the kids going back to school and

getting ready for Halloween tonight because although we did celebrate Halloween

when I was a kid it's definitely not what it is now so

we've done pumpkins and I'm going to take both of them out trick-of-treating for the

first time tonight so no doubt nobody will get any sleep because they'll go to bed with a sugar high

because try getting sweets off a kid's nigh on impossible isn't it?

I do know what we just I shut the doors draw the curtains and hide.

Oh you bar humbug you don't!

I do, I hate it!

I thought the whole lot of you'd be out there,

swanning it up and down the street.

You know we went to a really nice

Halloween party around the corner at the weekend and

this lady does the most amazing Halloween parties and the kids loved it and they did little puppet shows.
