0:00.0	I'm Martin yelling, he's Tom June 2011 and this is episode 75 of marathon talk
0:26.8	on this week's show we've got a great interview with Britt Matt Dixon he's the guy who helped Ryan Hall to his 2004 marathon in Boston earlier in the year.
0:36.0	It's a little quiet on the news front, but we do have listed as marathons, rate your run,
0:40.8	rant and winner of the week, plus of course the legend the man everyone's
0:45.0	hero Tony Aortonshaw in Tony's trials but Tom what have you been doing?
0:50.5	Well I've been doing a few things in fact I forgot to put on the show
0:53.3	notes but I did have a good old crack at my local park run on Saturday and it was

1:41.1	time since I've gone over 20 minutes when I've tried hard and I thought you know what I can't have lost fitness
1:45.6	My heart and lungs can't be any weaker than they were a little while ago
1:50.3	Yeah, but you have gained a few things you may not have lost anything, but you sure have gained a few things.
1:55.4	Well, I've certainly gained a few pounds, that's for sure. But it's interesting, I think, and we're racing, we're running again this Saturday.
