I have listened to Marathon Talk for years and have always enjoyed elite runner Martin Yelling and his inspiring weekly guests. Now with co-host Olympic medalist, Deena Kastor, Martin continues his friendly and engaging conversation on a whole new level. I learn so much every episode about the news in the world of athletics, get great training advice and enjoy interviews with uplifting athletes, coaches and fascinating figures in the marathon world. I look forward to each and every episode!!
I thought the guests and discussion on the career and legacy of Kelvin Kiptum was a wonderful way to pay tribute to him.
