It's

on Wednesday, the 5th of January, 2022. I'm Martin yelling. She's Holly Stables and this is

episode 599 of Marathon Talk. So, I'm going to Happy New Year everyone on this week's show Holly catches up with running legend Steve way to talk about his career his recent running and his future plans both the male and female 5K world road records are broken in

Barcelona. There's a new winter Wainwright record that's quite hard to say.

I speak to Nina from the new running at Bird and we have a very big announcement to make.

Holly Stables, what you've been doing? That was quite funny.

Our intro, I wrote the intro notes and I got my name down as Holly Rush.

Just, I just, it was just something I wrote without thinking about it.

So I got married in case anyone didn't know.

Well, I know.

How exciting is that?

How exciting is that?

Yeah, it was exciting and it was lovely lovely, lovely day despite all the restrict, well not restrictions, but the, you know, the things that were going on. It was a bit sort of all fingers in mouth the week before thinking, oh, is it going to happen because we didn't really know

if there was going to be a new restrictions luckily I didn't have to wear a mask to get married in

because that would have ruined the look however the vicar did but yeah we had an amazing day and it was yeah actually better than I even imagined it would be it was small and intimate.

Tell us about it like intimate. Tell us some of the things that happened because you know it's a big thing actually isn't it? Like it's a really big you know and significant and important day if you if you you know if you choose to

you know to kind of publicly engage in any kind of ceremony I guess which says this is the person I want to you know spend the rest of my life with.

Well yeah exactly I mean for anyone that probably does or doesn't know obviously this I met Pete when I was in my early 20s and we so we've known each other a long long time and but we went different directions in our lives and and then we came back into our lives in 2018 I think it was no earlier than that actually so I went to like 2017 and and so yeah it was like it was just, yeah, I don't know, I don't, I don't want it to sound and be soppy, but he is like my total love of my life and so to come back together again and then I said I never get married again but obviously I wanted to this felt the right thing and the day was just lovely in every way. I mean we got to Sarah in vows in a church with our family and a few friends and

Lemy was there at the end for his photo opportunity.

We could hear him embarking outside the church, which is quite funny.

Yeah, so I mean the fun, so 10 minutes before, I was supposed to get married at three. I still haven't put my dress on I was so behind because I decided I want to go for a 10 mile run in the morning all of us with the doctor.

Really? Yeah, to tire him out. But I thought I'd have a lot more time, but I don't know where the time goes.
