ANI Endurance Coordinator, Mark Kirk, joins us on the Back Straight to give us the inside line on altitude training camps, the future of distance running in Northern Ireland and his training philosophy. We share some local race results from the Belfast City Half Marathon, the NI & Ulster Road Relays and the first XC event of the season in Armagh. Our minds boggle at the new women's Marathon World Record in Berlin and the direction of shoe technology. As always, thank you for listening and we look forward to catching up with you all again in a couple of weeks time. Hooroo!
