Sam gives us the lowdown on how he manages to train for London during the busy F1 schedule which takes him around the world, how F1 drivers keep fit and hydrated and how to deal with the heat. Katie is also an experienced runner and shares tips on returning to running post pregnancy and how to train with a young baby. But perhaps most importantly who will triumph in London and claim the family record!?

We're excited to speak to Olympian Patrick Dever on the day that he received the news about his upgrade from fourth to the podium at the New York Marathon.. 

Intrigued as to how he found out? So were we...Patrick tells us all about his debut to the marathon distance and what inspired him to do it now as he prepares for the London Marathon. We also ask whether it means he's done with the Track or not.

We talk all things rivalry and inspiration with other athletes, notably Emile Cairess and do elite athletes share their training plans??

Patrick also has some help for our audience as we chat whether to focus on time or distance, how he tapers and fuelling - both during the race and what to have for breakfast!
