It's Wednesday,

Wednesday, the 2nd of September 2020.

I'm Martin yelling, she's Holly Rush.

This is episode 556 of Marathon talk. I'm going to do. So, On this week's show I'm back from a holiday and joined by Holly in the studio.

We look at the Farrah Hour, fastest known times and a Strava world record.

Angie speaks to the incredible John Kelly about his amazing grand round bike run adventure.

You rate your runs and show your marathon talk kit around the world.

Holly Rush, how are you? I'm all right, how are you? It feels like quite a long time since we've spent the evening together.

I tried to have a holiday and failed really. I'm the worst person for staycations. I don't know about you but a staycation to me

basically means trying to resist looking at like things I shouldn't be looking at and I don't mean

that in a online

temptation kind of way.

It's like the work is still there, you know the storm break stuff, It's really hard for me personally to

kind of disengage takes me out a week to disengage from being away my brain to calm and to stop thinking about things.

And we were supposed to be going on holiday to France for a couple of weeks and of

course we had to cancel it due to the Q rule, the Q thing. So, but we cancelled

it like two days before they announced the Q measures. So it was the right thing to do in

hindsight but it was the wrong thing to do because we couldn't stop looking at the 30

degrees hot sunny weather that had been there for the last two weeks.

So then we tried to book last minute. This is nothing about running by the way.

I'm sure I'm we've running in somewhere. We tried to book some local, we lived down in Dorset

and we thought we'd book some local campsites to enjoy some Dorset sun for two.
