Hello there. Welcome to Run Pod, the Run Club of the podcast world, where every episode we remind

ourselves about the joys of something as pure and simple as running. And today, we're joined

by a man whose name is mentioned often in the running world and in running circles.

He is a former international runner.

He's an elite Jew athlete and triathlete.

He also coaches a ton of athletes today.

He's written a book on the matter, but most importantly, he really does love running.

It is Martin yelling.

Hello there.

Hello, Jenny.

It's nice to be on the show.

Oh, it's so nice to have you on it. Do you know what? It's so funny because there's been so many occasions where I've been at a running event or a marathon expo or whatever and you've been there and I've just missed you and I've been desperate to meet you for quite a long time. So it's nice to meet you in this way. You too. I was going to say you've always been a runner. But then I thought that was unfair of me to assume that you have always been a runner.

Is it true?

I think so. I mean, okay, so I am 50 this year.

I was 50 and I reckon for 43 of those years I've been a runner because I can remember my first school's running event.

So yeah, I reckon pretty much 43 of those years.

I've enjoyed running as a competitive or recreational or, yeah, fun activity, social activity to do.

So, yeah, old boy, old boy runner.

Were you someone that was just instantly good?

Were you automatically at school the one to beat?

I don't think so.

I knew I loved to run.
