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.

#76: Visually-impaired runner who dreams of the London Marathon
Mohammed Riaz Sabir is a visually impaired athlete from Rotherham who has less than five per cent of his sight.
He trains on his treadmill at home, but came to England Athletics because he wants to pursue his dream to run outside with the support of a guide runner, and maybe one day run the London Marathon.
But so far, he hasn't been able to find a guide.
He tells Alex Seftel the story of losing his sight later in life, how he has adapted, and his hopes for the future.
