83: Stepping up to the Marathon : Molly Huddle

On this week’s show we talk to 2 time Olympian and American 10,000m record holder, Molly Huddle. We discuss her training in the lead up to this year’s London Marathon, how she is looking to improve on her 2.26 PR and what she see as are her greatest achievements in sport. We also discuss the incredible final in Rio, where she ran the American 10,000m record in a race where Almaz Ayana obliterated the world record.

We give on update on some of the early nominations for the Soar Running / Let’s Get Running Grassroots Hero Award- who will you nominate to win? 

We also discuss Shaun’s training for London and his weekend victory at the Amstelveen Marathon. In bus news, Jermaine spots Mr Burns trying to pull a fast one and accidentally ‘wafts’ a motorcyclist off his bike.
