John, Kelly and Lauren do the usual weekly training debrief including some marathon specific workouts and summarize some of the things going on in running

Kelly interviews an absolute LEGEND! Two time Olympian and CWG Silver Medalist - Nick Rose!

Rose still holds the British record for the road 10K with 27:34 - 8th fastest road half marathon with 61:03 - also has an impressive marathon PB of 2:21!

Nick has some great stories of running in the 70s: Winning NCAA titles, running with and against American legends like Prefontaine and British legends like Steve Jones - also one of the first ever athletes to try out Nikes when they came about - the famous waffle shoe!

Sound is patchy in the first 10mins - but stick with it - this one is 10/10!!
