It's

31st of March 2021. I'm Martin yelling. She's Holly Rush.

This is episode 579 of Marathon Talk. talk. I'm going to do. So, On this week's show it was the team gb Tokyo Olympic marathon trials in Kew Gardens last Friday. We hear all about it from

Angie Andrews who was a roving reporter at the event. Holly speaks to the women's

winner Steph Davis and the Fukuoka marathon is no more.

Plus, there is a UK review of cross-country distances.

Holly Rush, what you've been up to?

Hello, I have been, I've been doing so much stuff since we last talked.

It's so nice to say that once, isn't it?

It is good.

It is good.

I, I think I just picked up my van before but I'm in possession of my camper van now

Which I'm thoroughly enjoying and

Oh, I know it's just like it's something that we've been talking about for like probably a year and we just never we just never sort of you know when you just you talk, it's just quite a big step because, you know, they're not, it wasn't expensive. But, you know, it's a big thing to do, and we'd already got two cars, so we sold those cars and we picked up another car, so we've become a two one van one car family and we just thought yeah let's just do it because we want to go and do some adventures in this country especially obviously this year is going to be quite limited to where we can go and so we just we kept looking at vans and we saw this one pop up on Facebook marketplace and good. so it's so exciting and I love it.

It's properly like quirky, campery.

Anyone who's been on my Instagram will see.

It's very woody, shall I say, as in sort of rustic. It's not shiny with neon lights or anything like that.

It's a lot of words going on. You did send me a photo you did and one of the questions was like

apart from the front window of course does it have windows? Yeah it has windows at the

back. No not at the back it doesn't. Yeah, okay. Yeah, but the doors open. So our bed, it's actually quite different to a lot of the camper vans. So a lot of people have to camp the beds at the back back. Our bed is at the front so we've got windows on either side. So yeah, it's really cool.

So you can use it for running events and things like that?

Yeah, yeah. And coming to see you so we're going to rock up outside your house and sleep outside your house.
