EP80 | The 100 Marathon Man - Marathon Talk catches up with Richard Whitehead MBE

On this episode of Marathon Talk, we're joined by British Paralympian and world record holder Richard Whitehead, following his incredible achievement of running his 100th marathon of his career at the TCS New York City Marathon. Before we speak to Richard, Martin and Deena discuss what to do now that, for most, the marathon season has come to an end. How do we keep the fitness levels where they need to be, without overdoing it? How do we stay focused, and what do we plan for to keep us excited? Finally, Deena had the chance to speak to Rob Dalto, who was representing Team Abbott in New York, and told us about this running story.
