Hello there, welcome to a very special episode of the podcast that's been hailed, the Run Club of the Audio World.

Oh yes, this is RunPod. I'm Jenny Faulkner here to guide you through a longer episode than usual.

And the reason for that, well, there's so much to cram in. It's a marathon episode about all things

London Marathon. Along with 40,000 other running enthusiasts who have accepted the 26.2 mile

challenge, I'm going to be running around the Capitol this coming Sunday with the dream of

catching up with Moe, with the hope of smashing that baby or more realistically with a plan

simply of crossing that finish line and collecting that shiny medal.

So listen, even if you're not taking part in London this coming weekend, don't feel that this

episode is not for you because even if you have no intention whatsoever of ever signing up for an actual marathon,

well, you can still appreciate the effort, the training, the nerves,

and the total excitement for those who are getting ready to run.

So in this run pod, I'll be giving you an insight into the machine that is the London Marathon.

We're going to be finding out what makes someone actually want to run a distance like this and what it feels like to put your body through the 26 Marathon. I'm going to be finding out what makes someone actually want to run a distance

like this and what it feels like to put your body through the 26 mile ordeal. I'll also be

joined by some special guests who are in full fat taker mode ahead of Sunday. I'm going to try and find

me a runner rhino. There must be one around somewhere. And I've managed to track down the big boss of the london

marathon hugh bracer and by the way he has some very interesting information on how to get in

on next year's race and what to expect in 2020 so that is a lot of info coming your way first though

let's have some hard facts and for this i caught up with a man who knows it all.

Of course he does.

He drives a black cab round the streets of the city.

He's also a run pod listener.
