It's Wednesday, the 3rd of August, 2011.

I'm Martin to go and I'm going to see. On this week's show we talked to Ultra Marathon Man Dean Carn Carnesies.

The Magic Mile has started.

There's some news, results and race reports.

You tell us about your weekend in rate your run.

Tony does someone else's trials, you rant and rave and rave and winner of the week and Tom thinks about

eating meat. Other than that Tom what have you been doing? Well, I tell you what, that makes it sound terrible actually.

This is my last week of being a vegetarian or my last week of my year of being a vegetarian.

It's funny, I eat meat for 36 or 37 years and now saying

Tom thinks about eating meat makes me feel a bit weird. I feel a bit unclean I don't know I don't like it.

You clearly weren't doing it for for moral or or philosophical reasons then? Well no I was probably doing it for

moral or philosophical reasons I think you know the reason why I gave up me was

partly because I was inspired to try it by Helen and my wife who's not eating meat for 20 years

and has been a really good athlete or and then we had the Scott Eurek interview and he was a vegan

and I thought wow you know you can really do this as an athlete it can be a great diet. So, you know, I kind of wanted to try and I've been thinking about it for a few years and never wanted to put it in place until I stopped doing Iron Man. So when I did the outlaw last year is my last ever Iron Man, I knew that the next day I'll do it for a year and

and see what happened and I don't think you can really experience anything until you do it for a year

because you know you have to do it over you know all you know Christmas and birthdays

and all kinds of different things and you have to really learn

stuff about it and it's probably only been in the last few weeks and months really that I've really

really been able to reflect on it and think about it and you know my initial thoughts were not doing it because I didn't really agree with the way animals were treated,

partly through their welfare and partly because what we then eat is a result of that.

And that hasn't changed.
