| 0:00.0 | It's 24th of June 2020. I'm Martin yelling do you know. I'm going to So, On this week's show I speak to health and performance consultant Dr. Greg Potter |
| 0:50.3 | Tom's got Tuesday legs from his nearly downhill, not park run. The London marathon might still |
| 0:56.0 | happen later this year. Ailes McClellan looks forward to Tokyo, you guys rate your |
| 1:00.0 | runner, rock your kit around the house. Here we are, Tom Williams, what'd you been up to? |
| 1:04.8 | I have got Tuesday, it's actually a Tuesday and I've got Tuesday legs. |
| 1:08.6 | Why? From a Saturday. Well, at Park Run we did this we started this thing last week called not Park Run which is where you can go and log a part run time representing a Park one event but you can run it anywhere in the world whenever you want and on any course you like and all that kind of stuff. |
| 1:31.0 | So it's a kind of ultimate in social distancing, stay part of the community. |
| 1:35.0 | And so I thought, well it's my opportunity to find, because I'm in quite good Nick right now, I'm not |
| 1:40.6 | run much at all. |

| 1:56.4 | at my 5k at the same time I knew I needed a little bit of assistance. So I |
| 2:02.1 | plotted my way to try and find a continuous downhill five |
| 2:08.1 | kilometers. We don't we don't really have any here. I don't know any seriously overall downhill park runs in the world actually. I think I ran I think Killerton I did once his sort of downhill but there's a lot climbing in it. It feels like one of those |
| 2:23.6 | Escher paintings like you feel like you're going up all the time and then you |
| 2:26.5 | realize you finish lower than you started which is a bit odd. But so my friend Harry |
| 2:36.3 | pointed out that there was you could run from a place, I can't remember what's called now, but just near our house down to a place called Burn Bridge and it's pretty much 5K straight down |
| 2:42.1 | with about 450 feet of descent in it. |
| 2:45.0 | Which is pretty good. |
| 2:48.0 | So I thought that's it. |
