It's Wednesday the 27th of October 2021. I'm going to I'm going to do you know On this week's show records fall as we see a new women's half marathon world

record a men's European marathon world record, a beer mile world record.

Plus, Macalgan breaks the British 10 mile road record and I catch up with London

American second British female, Rose Harvey, when this week's training talk is all about why you should

consider trying cross country this year.

Hello Martin, how are you?

You got sniffles.

Hello.

Well, hello Holly Rush, I was just thinking it's a week of, is it a week of records?

Its records galore. Records everywhere. More about those records later on in the show.

I'm not going to start it with a damp now because I think we started the last show with a damp no but I'm going to

whisper it. I've only I've only gone and got COVID. Oh dear, you've got the dirty word. And you've all got it, haven't you?

We have a COVID house, COVID house party. Yes, we do have a COVID house. By the time the show goes out, we'll almost be done.

It's been a novel experience. My daughter first picked it up and kindly brought it home.

It's very hard for those of you, those fellow runner family members with family

members out there. it's very hard to, you know, not get it when you've got a child in their house who does have it.

So Liz and I took the view of parenting first and isolation second and of course that

meant we all got it which we we did. So I know, so I might, if I sound a little bit rough,

it's because I'm struggling to breathe.

Do you know what, you don't sound too bad, but I was a bit worried about you in the week when you said you had COVID because I did mess you didn't I and I said look do you need me to get the in the reinforcement shopping try and try and help but I'm glad that you're here and you do look you do

look a little bit ropey. Thanks a bit more ropey than normal you do not

have been doing any running then? Presumably. No, definitely not. Well, no, no, last run was, I don't know, a week or so ago, a week ago. A week ago, I don't mean, you you know what you lose track of days. I've lost track of days.
