Phew, what an episode! Huge agenda this week with lots of marathon chat including a Belfast preview and London recap. After that we are joined by Aaron Beggs from North Down AC who has recently shot to fame with his heroic antics at the Boston Marathon. In part 2 we are joined by none other than the mastermind behind the Belfast Classic - Eamonn Christie! Eamonn chats to us all about the big runners in this year's iteration of the event, new sponsors and what to expect on the day! It is always a pleasure to chat to Eamonn and we appreciate him coming on at this busy time! Good luck to everyone running Belfast and we will see you soon! Hooroo.
