It's not every week that we're joined on Marathon Talk by an OLYMPIC CHAMPION; let alone one who won gold in such a dramatic style…

Cole Hocker was Paris' 1500m Olympic Champion, and we get the scoop from him on how he trumped the titans of Kerr and Ingebritsen, the training mentality that unlocked such a performance, and the power of choosing your stresses!

Elsewhere in the show, we check in on Martin's triathlon triumphs, eye up the stellar lineups for autumn marathon season, round up a surprise winner in the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc, and so much more…
