    We're back again for another week of running themed chatter! This week we talk about the Cheshire Elite Marathon, where Jake Smith won depsite never running more than 22 miles, setting a 1500m and 800m PB that week and on pacing duties, oh and he's only 22!

    Our guest this week is the lovely Sally Brider (@sallybrider on Instagram) someone who as she says 'found running later on in life' after getting into the London Marathon she's now an Asics Front Runner, still running marathons and chasing down the 6 world majors!

    Challenge Matt continues with the outcome from Neil's spelling bee head to head and the forfeit is drawn. We also have a new challenger stepping forward with another callout for our Matt.

    Statman Jon drops in again on his travels for some more antics, we have the usual good news story before closing off with some new exciting news for you to get even more from us!

    We also have a fantastic Good News Story from Matt about Luc who is only 6 and ran a marathon over a week to raise money for his cousin Andrew, with a lovely voice note from Luc himself. If you enjoyed Luc's story you can donate via his GoFund me page.

    Rob has a big challenge coming up in 2021 with the Berlin Marathon where he'll be raising money for Prostate Cancer UK. There will be lots of fundraising activities leading up to his marathon training and we want you to be a part of it. You can also donate on his Just Giving page.
