Mark Armstrong and John Downes are joined by the UK’s second fastest ever female marathon runner in Mara Yamauchi.

The two-time Olympian has a fascinating running story - combining a career as a British diplomat with an athletics career which would see her win a Commonwealth Games medal and win the National Cross Country Championships.

Mara talks about how she started running and how she kept the running fire alive whilst working in Japan before coming back to the UK and becoming an elite runner.
