It's Wednesday the 19th of June. I'm Martin yelling. She's Holly Rush and this is episode

493 of Marathon Talk. I'm going to do. So, On this week's show I speak to the co-founder of Strava Mark Ganey how cool is that about Strava, Mark Ganey, how cool is that, about Strava segments, how Strava got started,

plans for the future and a load of other exciting stuff. Tom's away. So Holly joins me on the show,

we remember American track star Gabriel

Grunwald young Brit track stars rewrite the record books ka Goucher runs Leadville.

There's a Kenyan marathon, a band for, wait for it, rat poison.

We talk summer speed.

Speed work to sharpen you up, you rate your run,

talk about what keeps you going away, your marathon talk kit at comrades, and stand on the podium.

Holly Rush, how are you?

Hello, I'm back, by popular demand.

I'm good, how are you? You're back. I'm good actually you've been

racing I have I've done another road race even though I said I wasn't going to do one but yes I raced 10k on the

road as I was just telling you earlier and I'm never ever ever ever going to do it again

we can't so my understanding of that remark is that you have just withdrawn from our 10

kilometer challenge. No I think that we've actually upgraded it to 10 mile I

thought. Is that not right? Yeah, I'll do a 10 mile challenge with you.

I think that extra 4 miles is going to be the game changer for me because I realized after Sunday that running 10K on the road is worse than running UTMB with the poops.

Well I did a 10 mile run the other day, quite hard, I did 66 minutes, like in a training run.

Okay, so like an easy jog, yeah.

What, like, where do you think, what do you think you would be?

Like if you went out and ran 10 miles in a training run at a moment?
