It's 15th of May 2019. I'm Martin yelling. She's Holly Rush and this is episode

488 of Marathon Talk. I'm going to do.

So, I'm going to do. On this week's show, Tom, host a Q&A with Nicki Spinks, where they talk all things double Bob and the bark the marathons mow and

gala and gala and gaily are running Chicago Allison Dixon ups the distance

athletic South Africa will appeal the decision against Kasser Semenya,

and that's quite possibly the greatest dip ever

from someone with quite possibly the greatest name ever.

Holly's back from her latest victory.

Tom and Brian talk comrades in training talk with just a few weeks to go and

Did the usual stuff and then the next week I started running again and I thought oh I fancy a

little run and the only thing I could find was my quite local Hull-avington or as we
