It's Wednesday, the 27th of July 2011. I'm Martin yelling. He's Tom Williams and this is

episode 81 of Marathon Talk. I'm going to do. So, On this week's show we chat to pro triathlete Joel Jameson about zipping up his man suit in the outlaw iron distance triathlon marathon to take the win.

There's a little news, rate your run, a chat about Friday Facebook, winner of the week,

rant and rave, Tony's Trials, and Training Talk is all about

the minimum you can get away with to train for a marathon. Speaking of minimums, Tom, what have you been doing?

I've been doing less than the minimum I think.

In fact, I answered a Facebook question on the part-run Facebook site the other day

or earlier today today whenever it was

about how many times you exercise and get your heart over you how many times you exert yourself

a week for more than 30 minutes and normally when I answer these kind of things I'll put, I don't know,

10 or 12 or something like that times a week and be proud of myself for doing loads of exercise and I actually honestly

answered once. No, really? Why is it? Why the slow? Once. and my toes getting gradually better but it's slow and sure

or having fast and sure progress so I'm trying not to run too much I'm only doing

part run once a week and that's it I'm just probably well undoubtedly the busiest I've ever been with work by a mile.

And so I sympathise all those people who are crazy busy and so they don't have time to exercise because at the minute I'm really struggling to do that.

And also most of all I'm just not really in the right mindset.

I said to myself I'd have a year off training hard from the outlaw last year.

It's just being the outlaw but of course it was earlier so I'm going to

my training going to kick off again really from the 7th of August when I'm going to start

taking things seriously again and and really training hard and I think the

closer I get to that the more I just think you know what I'm just going to put my feet up and do nothing until that point I think I need to help you out we need to set another five year plan well I've already set me a five year plan and it starts on 7th of August.

Brilliant.
