I'm Martin yelling, he's Tom Williams, and this is Marathon Talk. It's Wednesday the 27th of October 2010 and this is episode 42 of

marathon talk. This week we're going night running with wealth fitness legend

howl Davis but getting inspired by America and Ben Davis, who's lost

120 pounds since 2008 and become a marathon runner and Iron Man in the process.

We've got an all-time winner of the week, news of an all-time time at the

Great South Run and the usual gossip from the world of marathon running. Tom, what have you been

up to? Well, I've been running and it's been great and I think it was my second week back last week running properly and I did more miles and I've done in a very long time.

Although my training volume has dropped considerably since Iron Man, I managed just... long time.

I managed just under 10 hours of running last week for 61 miles.

So it's great and I finished with a really nice social 11 miles with hells along

with Meanwood Valley Trail,

all the way to Golden Lake Park and Leeds

for a nice cup of coffee.

And then we ran home in the winter sun.

I love winter, and it was absolutely brilliant.

My ears seemed to be just about fixed. I'm slowly returning to some kind of fitness.

Although I am still suffering from my previous tactic of only buying clothes that fit me at Iron Man race weight. I thought when I was nice and skinny at race weight before I thought, I thought,

well, I only buy clothes that will fit me now.

And then that will stop me putting clothes away on.

And of course now I've only got about two pairs of clothes I can wear.

Fortunately, I can record the show sat at home in my pants but I'm

does this mean when you go out running you're in kind of super small running shorts?
