I'm Martin yelling, he's Tom Williams, and this of Marathon Talk. We've got some news that's band to shock you.

We've got Tony's trials. Training talk is all about feeling tired. Thanks very much for all your questions to Britain's number one male

marathon runner and two-time Olympian Dan Robinson. We've got an interview with

him. We've got a regular rant and rave and we've got winner of the week.

I'd like to start though with an apology.

We would like our podcast to keep you running not not stop you running.

But it appears that we've had several emails from people and Facebook commentary

that some runners unfortunately have been forced to stop on their runs,

whilst listening to the podcast.

This is because they've been laughing too much largely due to Tony's trials.

We're glad to enjoy Tony's trials, but look we want the podcast to keep you running not stop running so keep going

We've also had lots of comments about what keep you motivated and what's your

mantra and we ask people to log on to Marathontalk and and leave comments there on

the episode six show notes. For those of you that maybe aren't quite aware of that every week

when we release the show we put a full list of show notes with timings and

everything on marathon talk.com. We had loads of comments and we thought

what we'd do is rather than reading them all out we thought we'd pick one or two a week one a week

That we thought was particularly motivational and and and and hit the spot. So this week we're gonna kick that theme off. We'll carry it all the way through to London at least and we thought we'd kick that off with one that's come in on that comment page from Sam.

And he says, my my motivational my motivational my motivational booster came from a very

good coach I had once I look around all the other athletes and I visualize them hurting just like me.

Some appear to be better actors at hiding it.

I imagine everyone hurting.
