It's Wednesday, the 27th of November 2019.

I'm Tony Ordenshaw, she's Holly Rush, and this is episode 516 of Marathon Talk. I'm going to do. Soar sponsor this week's show. Tom speaks to the newly crowned third fastest British

female marathon runner of all time, Jess Pearski. You rate your runs and share

your photos of marathon talk kit around the world.

Holly Rush, how's it going?

Well, it's going okay and once again, shall we just do a little disclaimer out there that it's

taken us about two hours to start this again I don't think so I've had a

problem with my voice recorder everyone so again it almost harked back to August a couple of years ago

when it took us two hours to get going but we cut that down it's only been about an hour

late so but yes I am okay. I am still struggling with this

chesty cough and quite frankly Tony I think I blame you because it was you. It started when I last spoke to you.

You know when you said you weren't very well and then...

And then since then I've had the same sort of thing as you. But it's almost like a month now and I'm sort of thinking

maybe I need to go to the doctors I know everyone's going to be saying why can you go to the

doctors in the first place but I just always think it's a bit of a waste of time because they

just quite often just say oh there's nothing wrong with you just rest.

Yeah well that's actually without wanting to dip in on you is exactly what happened to me.

I waited about four weeks and I had a few, like the chest didn't feel right still.

I wasn't coughing anymore but I went to the doctors who's a runner himself and he said, yeah,

nothing wrong with you.

Really?

So for me, I think it's been six weeks.
