Imagine your first marathon almost breaking a national record - that\\u2019s how you break onto the scene and make a statement.

Barring Paula Radcliffe\\u2019s time in London, Calli Thackery\\u2019s 2:22:11 is the UK\\u2019s best, and as she sets her sights on the Paris Olympic Games, she joins us to share the run that\\u2019s been 15 years in the making.

Elsewhere we\\u2019re gearing up for New York, as Letesenbet Geday prepares for his Majors debut, the women\\u2019s wheelchair race features four fierce frontrunners, and Marcel Hug\\u2019s lining up an unprecedented clean sweep.

In this episode of Marathon Talk:

  • 0:00 - Martin\\u2019s dinner with the stars, Deena\\u2019s joyful exploration, and the art of leaf peeping
