Welcome to MARMCAST!! It's Episode 37!!

After some time flirting with the Top Ten, MARMCAST now sits in 13th position (UK Running Podcast Charts) and surely the evening with Raworth is only months away.

There is an AI led deep dive into every aspect of Jane McDonald's life, from clothing to homing.

The wonderful Marion plays Goldy on Guitar coinciding with the night Goldy's strumming becomes increasingly complex.

Welcome to MARMCAST!! It's Episode 36!!

It's Friday night. Tim is down in the mouth following his first ever DNF and Andy is cock of the walk following a decent week training and a fast parkrun.

We have the Blading hating Bev on Goldy, who can't hear a thing from Andy's guitar but still manages to scoop a voucher.

The Doc makes an appearance to help review the Cambridge Half Marathon on account of the fact that Tim didn't finish it and we ask the question, have you ever DNF'd and where? A wave of pity and pain ensues. 

The Manchester playlist continues to build, but will it be Britpop, Metal or McDonald?

The boys discuss the pain of their respective weeks. From bramble injuries to tooth extraction failures and everything in between.

The boys chat to Laura Bartlett-Short who is a year ahead of Tim in terms of marathons and not only does brilliantly on Goldie's brambled playing, but also passes on some useful tips about Manchester.

Question of the week, opens upthe questions of "what gets us out the door" with a range of great answers.
