It's

August 2019. I'm Martin yelling. She's Holly Rush.

This is episode 501 of Marathon Talk. I'm going to do. On this week's show we announce the winners of our special 500th

episode runner Kit bundle. We do an extra special long shout out to kit around the world runners.

You rate your run. Holly speaks the leading sports dietician Reney McGregor.

Brett Lana shares a few thoughts on Tokyo Olympic marathon route, distance running,

legend Kenanisa Bakele offers advice to his younger self and a 14 year old runs a 76 minute

half marathon.

Oly Rush, what have you been up to?

Oh, hello, Martin yelling, how are you?

Yes, I've been since the last time I was late, which is actually last week, wasn't it?

Our amazing 500th episode. I've been mainly getting

over my Mont Blanc expedition which I think has taken a little bit out of me more than I thought

because I've still got this cough and I feel a

bit I feel a bit run down if I'm honest and I've been moving house which again

is probably another stress on the old body so I haven't really doing that much

running I've just been doing a lot of painting and

cleaning. Well that's probably quite a good thing not even be moving house I mean it's

lovely to be in your own space I'm sure but a new space of your own but actually

sometimes when we try and wrestle a running, you know,

when we try and wrestle moving house, which for some people is a major traumatic upheaval in their lives, you know, and then we try and pack all the normal stuff in,

plus climbing Mont Blanc. It's no wonder you get a bit tired.
