Hello there, Jenny Faulkner here with you with another episode of Run Pod. So welcome along.

You might be outrunning now, might be about to listen to this episode. Obviously, RunPod is just one of the many podcasts out there about running.

Another one, which is hugely popular and which has been around for a bit longer than I have known even

what a podcast is, I think actually, is running commentary and it's hosted by two comedians who also

like to run and they're blooming good at it as well. Please welcome to the Run Pod Run Club,

Rob Deering and Paul Tonkinson. Hello there. Hi. Hello. Nice to have you on here because you know the last time I

saw you both, we'd both crossed the finish line at London Marathon and you'd been recording

the whole way around and I was struggling to breathe and I remember looking at you thinking,

I can't breathe at all and you have spoken to each other the entire way around. How is that fair?

Well, you say spoken. We spoke progressively less the further long we did. We chatted heartily for

the first half. That's what I was going to say. You made it sound like we were still happy chatting

away. Sure enough, we were making noises, but we weren't making sentences by the end of our marathon record.

I've got to admit, when I saw you both at the end,

you weren't talking at all to each other then.

You must be totally all right.

Well, by the last sort of three miles,

it was basically me saying push, push,

and various and just various grunts. it's sort of it's weird it's

sort of um it worked quite well as a as a live podcast because that's sort of like what a marathon is

isn't it you start off and everything's fairly rational and you can conduct you can conduct

a conversation by the end you kind of reduced to some kind of sweaty, feral, mass of, do you know what I mean?

There's something about it that was quite representative of what it was.
