I'm Martin yelling, he's Tom April 2011 and this is episode 67 of marathon talk on this

week's show it's been an amazing weekend of marathon running London London Marathon and Boston Marathon produced incredible races and we'll talk about both as well as your marathons.

There's Rate You Run, Ranton Rave, Winner of the week and Tony shares his London Marathon

fairy tale. We spoke to Simon and Kevin on route from Paris to London last

week and this week we catch up with them about their run at the London

Marathon.

We also speak to G.B. Olympic Hopeful Louise Damon about her 2.30 marathon debut.

What a show?

Tom, what have you been doing?

What a show indeed.

It's been just the most phenomenal weekend for marathon running, hasn't it?

Absolutely amazing.

You and I were at Mile 19, weren at London Marathon and it was so much fun. We were there on the Lucasade Sport kind of motivation bus cheering everybody on and we got a kind of roadside view of the lead men and the lead women coming by as well as the opportunity to stand there and get amongst it all the way through the race.

That was so much fun. One of the funniest marathon experiences I've ever had, I think, I must have combined with running

marathons and go to watch marathons. I must have been to 30 or 35 or something. And it was just,

yet again, something different and something fun and exciting so it was really really cool

but more about that later on Thursday I ran long I finally got back in the long running

groove and I ran 30 miles with 30 press ups at 10 miles 25 miles and 30 miles

What what 30 press ups at each of those points 30 press ups at each of those points I was kind of buoyed by your talk last week of

doing them without pausing at all and going straight through so I thought I'm

determined to do them without a break at all. I don't mean break, like putting

your knees down but you know without pausing and I managed that quite comfortably
