1990 Commonwealth 10,000m champion Eamonn Martin is the latest special guest in a series building up to the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.
Martin reminisces about that glorious moment when he sped away to victory in Auckland 35 years ago, along with his London Marathon victory 1993. He remains the last Briton to win the men's race, and amazingly, he did it on his debut at the distance.
The three-time Olympian also tells host Alex Seftel about how he is trying to bring entertainment to cross country as he prepares to host the London Cross Challenge Meeting. It's a busy time of year, as he is also team managing for both England and UK Athletics.

#68: Marilyn Okoro on retirement, role models and Black History Month
Olympic medallist Marilyn Okoro joins the podcast to discuss her transition from competitive athletics into a job in the corporate world, alongside her role as an England Athletics board member.
In this episode which marks Black History Month, she also discusses the importance of celebrating the success of black athletes, from Kelly Holmes to Tessa Sanderson.
Okoro has found that many of her skills are transferrable, while many of the causes that she spoke up for as a competitor - including athlete welfare and diversity - still need work today.
