MICHALA,WILL AND PHIL RECALL THEIR DAY AT THE LONDON MARATHON PLUS REPORT ON GEMMA AND SOPHIE RUNNING THEIR FIRST HALF MARATHON FOR PKU. · The Folkestone & Hythe Sports Podcast

0:18
Speaker 1: Barb Streisen, their woman in Low just I. Normally I'll
0:21
Speaker 1: start off with a kind of an anthem, but you know,
0:23
Speaker 1: I've fancied the change, and people that have listened to
0:26
Speaker 1: the show will know that I love a female vocalist
0:30
Speaker 1: with a really strong voice, you know, like ce Celine Dion.
0:33
Speaker 1: People like that, and so it's great to hear Barble Streisen.
0:35
Speaker 1: Don't need much about it these days anyway. What I
0:38
Speaker 1: want to do before we get chatting to today's guests,
0:43
Speaker 1: I want to tell you about another running story that
0:45
Speaker 1: came to my attention during the week. Now, former Eurotunnel
0:49
Speaker 1: colleague Kevin Knowles got in touch with me and told
0:52
Speaker 1: me that his daughter in Lord Jemma, was running the
0:54
Speaker 1: Finsbury Park half marathon in London tomorrow. So Jemma and
0:58
Speaker 1: I had a long chat on the phone and yet
1:00
Speaker 1: another story of an unsung hero running running a half
1:04
Speaker 1: marathon charity popped up. Now that many runners raising funds
1:08
Speaker 1: for charity on this show, but this is a charity
1:11
Speaker 1: I've never heard of. I'll try and get this right
1:13
Speaker 1: first time. It's the National Society for Penyl Ketanuria, which
1:18
Speaker 1: is also known of PKU for short. PKU is where
1:23
Speaker 1: the body is unable to break down an amino acid
1:26
Speaker 1: found in protein. This condition has no cure and the
1:29
Speaker 1: treatment involves following an incredibly strict diet and medication. Now,
1:34
Speaker 1: it can be diagnosed in babies as early as five
1:37
Speaker 1: days old, and mums, I'm sure you'll be familiar with
1:41
Speaker 1: the terms the heel prick or the blood spot test.
1:44
Speaker 1: If not picked up early, it can lead to learning difficulties,
1:47
Speaker 1: behavior problems, and in some cases brain damage. But if
1:51
Speaker 1: it is picked up, the child can avoid any long
1:53
Speaker 1: term health conditions. Now Gemma has two daughters, Maya who
1:57
Speaker 1: is eight, an Ivy who is four, and Ivy, who
2:00
Speaker 1: was diagnosed with PKU at that very early age thanks
2:04
Speaker 1: to the NHS screening program. Jemma told me that they
2:08
Speaker 1: feel so fortunate that Ivy was diagnosed so early, as
2:11
Speaker 1: it enabled her, with strict management, to lead a relatively
2:15
Speaker 1: normal life. So Jemma decided she wanted to get the
2:19
Speaker 1: word out there about the PKU charity, as is a
2:23
Speaker 1: little known compared to some of the big ones. She
2:25
Speaker 1: took on the challenge of the half marathon and was
2:28
Speaker 1: lucky enough to have her friend and work colleague Sophie
2:30
Speaker 1: join her. Jemma told me she loved and enjoyed sport
2:34
Speaker 1: and grew up swimming as a Dover lifeguard. However, running
2:37
Speaker 1: wasn't on the agenda. Their training has gone well and
2:41
Speaker 1: whilst never having completed a half marathon, at the moment
2:44
Speaker 1: that just over a mile short of the thirteen point
2:46
Speaker 1: one miles necessary, they feel they can manage that extra
2:50
Speaker 1: mile on the day now. Jemma set herself and a
2:53
Speaker 1: target of one thousand pound and thanks to family, friends,
2:57
Speaker 1: customers at a Silk Care hair salon, and even total
3:01
Speaker 1: strangers have donated, She's currently raised four three hundred and
3:05
Speaker 1: thirty pounds. Now that is absolutely incredible. Jemma and Sophie
3:09
Speaker 1: are traveling up the night before and catching up with
3:12
Speaker 1: the family and friends on Sunday, and would like to
3:15
Speaker 1: thank them all, especially Jemma's husband Kyle, for being so supportive. Now,
3:19
Speaker 1: this is another story that came my way and I
3:21
Speaker 1: want to share it with the listeners. This is an
3:24
Speaker 1: ordinary family whose life was changed when Ivy was diagnosed
3:27
Speaker 1: with PKU. They've all been been patient, strong, and Ivy's
3:31
Speaker 1: turned into a happy and kind little superstar. Now, if
3:35
Speaker 1: you get a minute. Just put PKU in your search
3:37
Speaker 1: box for all the information about this condition. But no
3:40
Speaker 1: doubt the fact that husband Kyle Meyer and Ivy especially
3:44
Speaker 1: be waiting on the finish line will keep Jemma going. Now,
3:48
Speaker 1: I want to say good morning to Kevin as a
3:50
Speaker 1: father in law and Sandra who hopefully are listening in
3:53
Speaker 1: there in Brighton at the moment as we speak. So
3:57
Speaker 1: that's nice to have the support of the family as
3:59
Speaker 1: we say. It's so important, as we're going to find
4:01
Speaker 1: out later in the show just what to support you
4:04
Speaker 1: need when you're running a marathon or any sort of
4:08
Speaker 1: a long distance event. So it's really really special that
4:12
Speaker 1: you know they're doing this thing. There are lots of
4:15
Speaker 1: unsung heroes out there. In fact, I've got three of
4:17
Speaker 1: them in the studio today, So Jemma and Sophie all
4:21
Speaker 1: the best. I really want you to do well and
4:24
Speaker 1: when you've done it, and send me a little email
4:26
Speaker 1: during the week and tell me how you got on. Now.
4:28
Speaker 1: I did ask Jemma for a song and she couldn't
4:30
Speaker 1: make her mind up. She sounds like a bit of
4:32
Speaker 1: a nineties naughties girl, but so I found this one.
4:36
Speaker 1: I went for the title really more than anything. Gemma
4:39
Speaker 1: and Sophie, this is for you is don't Stop Moving
4:41
Speaker 1: S Club seven.
4:46
Speaker 2: On.
4:55
Speaker 1: There you go, that's S Club seven, don't stop moving
4:57
Speaker 1: in the best forward Jemma and Sophie, Welcome to the show.
5:01
Speaker 1: I want to introduce you to three people that have
5:03
Speaker 1: been in before they run the London Marathon. But now
5:05
Speaker 1: we're going to find out what was it all about?
5:07
Speaker 1: What was it like? So I want to say good
5:09
Speaker 1: morning to Mikayla. Good morning, Mikayla, Good morning, Kevin, good
5:12
Speaker 1: and good morning Will and good morning Peel, good morning excellent.
5:16
Speaker 1: So good welcome to you all. Now I think we
5:19
Speaker 1: start I should we start with We start with you first, Phil, Phil,
5:23
Speaker 1: so come right in. That's it. And Phil, you you
5:28
Speaker 1: tell us a little bit about just leading up to
5:31
Speaker 1: the marathon, you know, how you got into your background,
5:34
Speaker 1: your training, and then we go on to the day itself.
5:37
Speaker 2: Okay, So I've not I wouldn't call myself a runner historically,
5:42
Speaker 2: I've not. I mean I used to do a bit
5:44
Speaker 2: of running, you know, five k every now and again,
5:48
Speaker 2: but then as I was approaching forty I started getting
5:50
Speaker 2: into it a bit more so did the folks in
5:52
Speaker 2: Half marathon last year, twenty five. That was my first
5:56
Speaker 2: sort of longer event, and I felt like I wanted
6:00
Speaker 2: to do the marathon. I had gone in the ballot
6:02
Speaker 2: for ten years, never got in, never thought I would
6:05
Speaker 2: get in. So, you know, when there's that many people
6:07
Speaker 2: are playing on the ballot, you don't, well, you necessarily
6:10
Speaker 2: think you're going to actually have to run it.
6:13
Speaker 1: You must have all picked up now that they're going
6:14
Speaker 1: to do it over a weekend too, yeah yeah, yeah,
6:19
Speaker 1: so on a Saturday and a Sunday.
6:21
Speaker 2: Yeah.
6:22
Speaker 1: So I don't know if that's a good thing or not.
6:23
Speaker 1: But that's totally another issue because Facebook or social media
6:27
Speaker 1: has lit up with oh it's a great idea. Oh no,
6:29
Speaker 1: it's a poor idea. I'll still never get in all
6:31
Speaker 1: all that. So anyway, Mikayla, so let's come in to you.
6:35
Speaker 1: If you could just tweak the microphone towards you, that's it, right, So, Mikayla, briefly,
6:41
Speaker 1: you had a reason for doing this, So tell us
6:42
Speaker 1: about your reason before you cross that start line.
6:46
Speaker 3: Yeah.
6:46
Speaker 4: So, my dad, Will's granddad suffered with dementia for many years,
6:52
Speaker 4: about six years, and we knew that the last year
6:57
Speaker 4: or so he was approaching the end of his life.
7:00
Speaker 4: Will had the bright idea again, light feel we'd entered
7:04
Speaker 4: the ballot, knew there was a little chance of getting in.
7:07
Speaker 4: We really felt that this year was the year. So
7:10
Speaker 4: We'll had the bright idea of applying for a charity place.
7:13
Speaker 4: It wasn't too difficult to pick our charity, Alzheimer's Research UK.
7:17
Speaker 4: They're the only UK charity focused solely on finding a
7:21
Speaker 4: cure for dementia. We got in touch with them, had
7:25
Speaker 4: a short interview and I think the fact that we
7:28
Speaker 4: were a mother and some team worked in our favor
7:31
Speaker 4: and we heard shortly afterwards that we both had a place.
7:33
Speaker 3: So that was.
7:35
Speaker 4: August time, I think late August. So training began in
7:39
Speaker 4: Earnest on the first of September for me probably about
7:42
Speaker 4: the same for you, wasn't it Will.
7:43
Speaker 1: So we'll come come right in now, So we'll So
7:46
Speaker 1: you say this was your idea, it was what idea? Yeah?
7:49
Speaker 1: I mean, did you really think that your mum would
7:51
Speaker 1: would join your You think she'd go, oh, you never
7:53
Speaker 1: get catch me running a marathon?
7:55
Speaker 5: Well, to be honest, I had the bright idea, but
7:57
Speaker 5: mum actually had the the Well, if you had the
8:00
Speaker 5: drive one than I did to actually do it, and
8:02
Speaker 5: I think that motivated me a bit more.
8:04
Speaker 1: Right, So you was a bit casual about it, was he?
8:06
Speaker 5: Yeah, time was actually mum sort of vegged me on.
8:09
Speaker 1: Oh right, that's good.
8:11
Speaker 2: We don't want to get beaten. I think.
8:15
Speaker 1: That's what mums do, though, come on, get your trainers on.
8:19
Speaker 1: So Phil, coming back to you now, let's go right
8:22
Speaker 1: onto the day. Now, So how did you get up there?
8:24
Speaker 1: On the day?
8:25
Speaker 2: I went up on the train. The first train out
8:28
Speaker 2: went into the London Bridge like six a m. Start.
8:31
Speaker 2: Did you did you guys go on the train? You didn't?
8:35
Speaker 2: I kind of wish I'd got a hotel because that
8:38
Speaker 2: was the most stressful part of the day was the
8:40
Speaker 2: train was packed, especially at London Bridge. The crowd of
8:43
Speaker 2: people like stood on the train like we're being on
8:46
Speaker 2: busy commuter trains. This was a lot lot busier anyway,
8:52
Speaker 2: made it got there.
8:53
Speaker 1: Right, okay? So did you arrange to meet family afterwards
8:56
Speaker 1: that they come up later in the day.
8:59
Speaker 2: I had a few people out on course which I
9:01
Speaker 2: then met up with afterwards. I think I managed to
9:06
Speaker 2: see everyone that came up on the course except my mum,
9:10
Speaker 2: which is a bit disappointed about and because we're talking
9:13
Speaker 2: about because I've sort of stuffed up my timing a bit.
9:16
Speaker 2: I did actually consider running backwards along the course because
9:19
Speaker 2: my mum would text me where she was and I
9:21
Speaker 2: was like, I'm not that far from there, maybe I
9:23
Speaker 2: should go back. But I didn't, and I went back
9:26
Speaker 2: afterwards at the end.
9:28
Speaker 1: The So you got to the start. Okay, when you
9:32
Speaker 1: was on the on the line, you were surrounded by people.
9:34
Speaker 1: Could you get going at the place you would normally
9:37
Speaker 1: run it?
9:38
Speaker 2: It was busy and there were quite a few people
9:41
Speaker 2: that were i'd say, in the wrong wave. Yes, you know,
9:45
Speaker 2: there was lots of kind of slut I mean, I
9:47
Speaker 2: was in quite an early wave. I was in a
9:49
Speaker 2: wave for three forty three. I was forty. Yeah, and
9:54
Speaker 2: quite quickly it was clear that people were all over
9:56
Speaker 2: the preast. But I think for the first time, if
10:00
Speaker 2: I kept up with my with my plans schedule.
10:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, so we're going I come to
10:05
Speaker 1: will now, So we'll if I remember rightly, you were
10:09
Speaker 1: not in the same wave as your mum, was you,
10:11
Speaker 1: but so tell us let's start again. You went up
10:13
Speaker 1: the night before, Yeah, we did.
10:15
Speaker 5: We stayed in a hotel in Dartford and.
10:18
Speaker 1: Then of Dartford. That's quite a way out then, Yeah,
10:21
Speaker 1: but I suppose you must have worked it out. There
10:23
Speaker 1: must have been some logistics to get into London.
10:26
Speaker 5: Luckily our family helped hell of a lot and sort
10:29
Speaker 5: of took that stress on them.
10:30
Speaker 1: All right, Okay, and so Mikayla sorry has moved the
10:34
Speaker 1: microphone around. That's it. So you stayed the night before, Yeah,
10:39
Speaker 1: but but you went up to the start. Did you
10:42
Speaker 1: go up to the start together and then say goodbye
10:43
Speaker 1: outside all those barriers?
10:45
Speaker 4: Well, the reason we went up the day before because
10:47
Speaker 4: we didn't get because of work and other commitments, we
10:50
Speaker 4: couldn't get to the expo till Saturday afternoon, so that's
10:52
Speaker 4: why we stayed. I went up to Excel, picked up
10:56
Speaker 4: our packs. Yeah, found our names on the wall, which
10:59
Speaker 4: was bizarrelyed.
11:02
Speaker 1: To go back to Dartford. We were at Dartford.
11:05
Speaker 4: Two of my cousins had arranged this scoop my mom
11:09
Speaker 4: up and made because we wanted mum to be part
11:11
Speaker 4: of the weekend. So yeah, we made it to Dartford
11:14
Speaker 4: and then they ferried us. I think I picked up
11:16
Speaker 4: the train at Slade Green down to Maze Hill and
11:19
Speaker 4: just walked up the hill to my start point from there,
11:22
Speaker 4: so it's all very easy.
11:23
Speaker 1: You was in a different wave though, were any different colors,
11:25
Speaker 1: different zones?
11:26
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was Red twelve, So about an hour after Will,
11:31
Speaker 4: I actually found my wave. Okay, it was room to
11:34
Speaker 4: spread out. It didn't feel we're too bunched up.
11:36
Speaker 3: At the start. It was amazing to start when the.
11:39
Speaker 4: Gene you are, ye get the goose bumps all over
11:41
Speaker 4: your body and sort of real adrenaline rush.
11:44
Speaker 1: I think this is it going back now? So what
11:47
Speaker 1: about you, Will? I mean your start was where.
11:50
Speaker 5: I was in. I was pink start. I think pink
11:54
Speaker 5: Wave four, so it was a sort of relatively early
11:57
Speaker 5: sort of wave. I think the biggest thing the crowds
12:01
Speaker 5: were immense right at the start line, and like Phil said,
12:03
Speaker 5: you sort of take a little bit of time to
12:05
Speaker 5: get into your rhythm, and when people were running past
12:09
Speaker 5: you as well, that sort of gets in your head
12:10
Speaker 5: for the first sort of ten ish miles. Yeah, so
12:13
Speaker 5: it's just about staying in the zone really, yeah.
12:15
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. So I suppose you see these people running
12:17
Speaker 1: past you and think, oh, you know, perhaps I should
12:19
Speaker 1: go with them.
12:20
Speaker 5: It's line games, definitely, Yeah.
12:21
Speaker 1: But what about I feel, what about you? Did you
12:23
Speaker 1: pick up on one of these pacers with the flags
12:25
Speaker 1: up in the air.
12:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was going to say that I found the
12:28
Speaker 2: start definitely the first ten k until the different waves
12:32
Speaker 2: come together, the pace the pacers. Yeah, I felt it
12:36
Speaker 2: was really confusing, you know, like, right, I'm trying to
12:38
Speaker 2: keep up with the three forty guy, but then you know,
12:41
Speaker 2: the four hour person's run past me and I'm like, oh,
12:44
Speaker 2: what's what's going on here? Is just because they've started
12:46
Speaker 2: from a completely different spot.
12:47
Speaker 1: So I will say that I eve run it once
12:50
Speaker 1: and there's a long story, but I've been on the
12:52
Speaker 1: start line and I found exactly that. I got behind
12:56
Speaker 1: a pacer and then the waves came along and I thought, oh,
12:59
Speaker 1: should I join another It's a different time, a slower
13:01
Speaker 1: time way I was feeling. But yeah, so that was
13:04
Speaker 1: a little bit of confusing. So what about you guys,
13:07
Speaker 1: did you join a pacer? We will just do your
13:09
Speaker 1: own thing.
13:09
Speaker 2: Yeah.
13:10
Speaker 5: So, like Phil said, I was trying to follow sort
13:12
Speaker 5: of the three hour thirty mark, just to sort of
13:15
Speaker 5: keep myself up there a bit. But then, like you said,
13:17
Speaker 5: the four hour markers come past me, and I'm thinking,
13:20
Speaker 5: I can't be.
13:21
Speaker 1: Half an hour.
13:22
Speaker 5: I'm on target here. Yeah, yeah, so that sort of
13:25
Speaker 5: played some mind games on you. But I think the
13:28
Speaker 5: crowds they just gee you up so much and you
13:31
Speaker 5: hear it from everybody like you don't need music in
13:33
Speaker 5: your areas. No, I really don't, because you can't hear
13:36
Speaker 5: your music for the entirety of the course.
13:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, Well, talking about music, I think we've better
13:42
Speaker 1: play a song now. Now I'm going to hit this button,
13:44
Speaker 1: and I hope this is really right because this is
13:46
Speaker 1: a special one for Phil. Now. I know that Phil
13:49
Speaker 1: went to America for his holiday, and I was being
13:53
Speaker 1: a nosey old social media person looking on his website,
13:57
Speaker 1: on his Facebook page, and there's this cracking picture of
14:00
Speaker 1: Field there with standing right over the Route sixty six sign.
14:05
Speaker 1: So I think I might have clicked and we might
14:07
Speaker 1: lose a few seconds of this. But let's ever listen to.
14:10
Speaker 5: This Jack Classic Hall.
14:14
Speaker 1: That's well, that's Route sixty six there. That's a special
14:31
Speaker 1: song for a feel there. Everybody, have a look at
14:34
Speaker 1: his Facebook. I don't care, go on, have a look
14:35
Speaker 1: at his Facebook. Is his cover picture? I think He's
14:38
Speaker 1: got a cracking picture of him sitting over a classic
14:42
Speaker 1: road sign says route sixty six my profile. I'm going
14:47
Speaker 1: to delete it now, come off for a come off
14:49
Speaker 1: social media. Yeah. Okay, so we've got another couple of
14:53
Speaker 1: songs lined up for our other two guests. But okay,
14:56
Speaker 1: let's get down to the nitty gritty. Mikayla onto you.
14:59
Speaker 1: So it's all started. You got twenty six point two
15:03
Speaker 1: miles in front of you. I mean, how did it go?
15:06
Speaker 1: Let's take us through, if you like, just quickly, the
15:09
Speaker 1: first half of the marathon.
15:10
Speaker 4: I mean, the first half felt pretty good, and when
15:15
Speaker 4: I saw Tower Bridge that was a bit of an
15:17
Speaker 4: emotional moment.
15:18
Speaker 3: And then it quickly hits you think, oh I've just
15:21
Speaker 3: done that.
15:21
Speaker 1: I've got to do it all again. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:25
Speaker 4: I would say probably for the first sixteen miles, I
15:28
Speaker 4: was okay, it was very warm.
15:30
Speaker 1: It was a hot day, yes, very.
15:32
Speaker 4: Warm, and my knees just seemed to pop that then,
15:36
Speaker 4: and the last ten miles were tough, but I'd already
15:40
Speaker 4: been to the Loure a couple of times. Yeah, it
15:43
Speaker 4: didn't know. I didn't need to stop again. So I thought,
15:46
Speaker 4: if I stop I am done for right, So I
15:50
Speaker 4: just kept one foot in front of the other.
15:52
Speaker 1: If you was watching your watch, I mean, were you
15:56
Speaker 1: doing the pace that you thought or did you end up?
15:57
Speaker 1: Because it was these guys.
16:00
Speaker 4: You know, I was realistic about you know, I hadn't
16:03
Speaker 4: run for eight years before the first of September, fifty
16:06
Speaker 4: four years old. I wasn't going to be breaking any records.
16:09
Speaker 4: I just went into it with the mindset, I'm going
16:11
Speaker 4: to start this and I'm going to finish.
16:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I.
16:14
Speaker 4: Wasn't really worried about the time. Yeah, you know, I
16:18
Speaker 4: knew I wanted to cross the line on the mail.
16:20
Speaker 4: I didn't want to go over to the year slow.
16:22
Speaker 4: So I just was in my own bubble. Really take
16:26
Speaker 4: any notice of the pacer.
16:28
Speaker 1: That's quite a nice attitude, really, because probably, like Will,
16:31
Speaker 1: I was looking for a good time. Will just what
16:35
Speaker 1: was your first half marathon? Like, you know, on the day,
16:39
Speaker 1: were you on track for what you predicted?
16:41
Speaker 4: Yeah?
16:41
Speaker 5: To be honest, I had a really sort of positive
16:43
Speaker 5: experience with the whole marathon body account for the weather.
16:48
Speaker 5: It was ridiculously hot, and I later found that out
16:50
Speaker 5: because I've been wearing my vest ever since with tann lines. Yeah,
16:53
Speaker 5: but no, the first half went really well. Leading up
16:57
Speaker 5: to it, you sort of have to find tweak everything
16:59
Speaker 5: your sleep, you know how many carbs are taking on everything.
17:04
Speaker 5: But it was the second half which it definitely hit
17:06
Speaker 5: me up. Yeah, right around Canary Wolf, everybody says the
17:09
Speaker 5: same thing. It's yeah, I think you're sort of preempting
17:11
Speaker 5: it because you know when you get it, when you
17:12
Speaker 5: get to that point is well.
17:14
Speaker 1: We come to the second half in a minute. But
17:16
Speaker 1: I want to talk to to feel about your first half.
17:19
Speaker 1: I mean jokingly, when you was on here, we were
17:22
Speaker 1: talking about car loading. You remember you had to eat
17:25
Speaker 1: about a wheelbarrow full of carbs, you know if Yeah.
17:30
Speaker 2: It was like five bags of past in one day.
17:33
Speaker 2: That was calculated how much I needed to eat. I
17:36
Speaker 2: didn't eat that much. I did feel really bloated in
17:38
Speaker 2: the morning though. That was the one thing prep wise
17:42
Speaker 2: I didn't practice was the car blading, and I think
17:44
Speaker 2: I overdid it. So when I got there, I did
17:47
Speaker 2: feel a bit. Yeah. It took sort of four or
17:49
Speaker 2: five k before I was like, okay, I feel just
17:51
Speaker 2: about like I'm yeah.
17:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, So the first half was you on schedule?
17:58
Speaker 2: I was so I mean I made a friend literally
18:01
Speaker 2: at the start line who happened to be a hockey player,
18:03
Speaker 2: which I didn't know at the time, and we run
18:06
Speaker 2: together pretty much for the whole. The first half past
18:09
Speaker 2: really nicely. First half was was it was great. I
18:13
Speaker 2: really enjoyed it. And what you said about when you
18:15
Speaker 2: get to tower Bridge, I mean I think until you
18:19
Speaker 2: get to Cutty Sark, you're a bit like this is
18:22
Speaker 2: like any other running running event. There's a lot of people,
18:24
Speaker 2: but it's very similar. But then when you get to
18:27
Speaker 2: tower Bridge, it's just another level, like it is overwhelming
18:31
Speaker 2: type thing. So yeah, that's that's where we got to.
18:34
Speaker 1: Okay, when I did it, I was I slowed down
18:37
Speaker 1: on tower Bridge if you like, taking it all in
18:39
Speaker 1: and I was actually interviewed by Denise Lewis and the BBC. Nice.
18:42
Speaker 1: It was nice, but it never made it never made
18:45
Speaker 1: the TV and it's probably because I wasn't dressed up
18:48
Speaker 1: as a rhinoceros or you know, yeah, as a crocodile
18:52
Speaker 1: or something like that. But yeah, that was quite an experience.
18:55
Speaker 2: Had a chat with Nitro from Gardiators side. Yeah, I
19:01
Speaker 2: I didn't go on TV either.
19:05
Speaker 1: I will say that when we went up to London
19:08
Speaker 1: for my birthday last year, and there was two things.
19:10
Speaker 1: I don't know if I told you this. There was
19:12
Speaker 1: two things that we did that were London Marathon related.
19:16
Speaker 1: We got to Tower Bridge and you can actually go
19:19
Speaker 1: up one side of it and walk across the top
19:21
Speaker 1: which has got a glass bottom, and come down the
19:24
Speaker 1: other side. And so we walked across the top and
19:27
Speaker 1: I didn't mind walking on the glass, but my other
19:29
Speaker 1: off too, She wouldn't go near it. But I looked
19:31
Speaker 1: down and I could sort of imagine thousands of runners
19:34
Speaker 1: coming through, you know. Anyway, after that, we then got
19:37
Speaker 1: on on one of those riverboats and went up to
19:40
Speaker 1: the cutty Sock and that's normally the first point. Unfortunately
19:44
Speaker 1: I missed everybody, you know three, But we actually actually
19:49
Speaker 1: went onto the boat and had a little tour around
19:51
Speaker 1: the boat and looked back down to where we normally
19:54
Speaker 1: stand and there was nobody there. I mean, the only
19:58
Speaker 1: time I've ever been to the cache, there are thousands
20:00
Speaker 1: of thousands and thousands of people and it was deserted.
20:03
Speaker 1: It was quite spooky, it really was. Okay, so we're
20:06
Speaker 1: going to play another song now. This one is for you,
20:08
Speaker 1: Mikayla you've chosen this one and any particular reason. It
20:12
Speaker 1: was just one that's you, you really enjoying.
20:15
Speaker 3: I just love it.
20:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, And when you hear it, you just your
20:19
Speaker 4: toe starts happening and you think I can't not move
20:21
Speaker 4: to this music.
20:22
Speaker 1: You're dead right, Let's not hang about. Let's put this
20:25
Speaker 1: one on. This is the Black Eyed Peas And I
20:27
Speaker 1: got a feeling go on, did you do that bit
20:48
Speaker 1: at the end? Right? Okay, So we are back in
20:55
Speaker 1: the studio and we've got three lovely special guests in
20:57
Speaker 1: that are reliving the nightmare or the ecstasy that was
21:01
Speaker 1: the London Marathon. So I got both to you and Mikayla.
21:05
Speaker 1: So now we're into the second half of the marathon.
21:08
Speaker 1: You told us a little bit about it, but that
21:10
Speaker 1: was when you you struggled a bit, didn't you.
21:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, those last ten miles went on forever, really, that
21:17
Speaker 4: bit around Canary Wharf and then you see people coming
21:20
Speaker 4: who already covered the ground that you've still got to cover,
21:24
Speaker 4: coming at you, and you think I'll be.
21:26
Speaker 3: Going that way in a minute, and I know it
21:28
Speaker 3: was quite a lot of hyre.
21:29
Speaker 2: It's a little way around there.
21:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was that was tough. I nearly tripped, I tripped,
21:35
Speaker 4: nearly went flying. I tripped on something on the pavement.
21:38
Speaker 4: I think that was just after the rhino passed.
21:41
Speaker 5: Me.
21:42
Speaker 1: Should not fall over, I reckon. There's more injuries caused
21:45
Speaker 1: by those water bottles on the ground than anything else
21:50
Speaker 1: on the course of the day. Because I went to
21:54
Speaker 1: Cutty Start. Well, everyone is floats around Cuntry Start. It's brilliant.
21:57
Speaker 1: So then I popped up at the seventeen mile point
22:00
Speaker 1: and there was like thousands of water bottles and people
22:03
Speaker 1: were just kicking him to one side. So it's quite
22:05
Speaker 1: easily to pick up an injury on the London Marathon. Okay,
22:08
Speaker 1: so forget all that business. You coming up the Embankment
22:12
Speaker 1: and as Phil was talking about, that tunnel was a
22:16
Speaker 1: bit spooky running through the tunnel before before it goes
22:19
Speaker 1: a bit quite a bit hollow. Then you come up
22:22
Speaker 1: the Embankment, you turn right onto Big Ben and you
22:24
Speaker 1: think I'm nearly there.
22:25
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, the kids and a couple of friends. I
22:30
Speaker 4: was in again, still in my bubble then and I
22:33
Speaker 4: heard mum. I didn't really register mum, and I'd managed
22:37
Speaker 4: to turn around and see the kids, So that was
22:41
Speaker 4: really good.
22:41
Speaker 3: And my daughter looked a bit emotional at that point.
22:43
Speaker 3: I think she was glad to see that I was
22:44
Speaker 3: still alive.
22:46
Speaker 4: And then when I saw the houses of Parliament, I thought, oh, okay.
22:50
Speaker 3: I'm going to do this.
22:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, I had my name on the front of the vest,
22:53
Speaker 4: and I might have had a look to hear at
22:55
Speaker 4: that point, thinking about my dad and the whole enormity
22:58
Speaker 4: of it.
22:58
Speaker 3: And someone said.
23:00
Speaker 4: Come on with cale, don't crying nearly there and all right,
23:04
Speaker 4: then yeah, I suppose I am so Yeah. Then in
23:07
Speaker 4: turn Rtin's bird cage walk and somebody said, come on,
23:11
Speaker 4: you only got eight hundred meters to go from here.
23:13
Speaker 4: And you see the gantry sign as you come around
23:16
Speaker 4: in front of the palace three hundred and sixty five
23:18
Speaker 4: years ago, and I was, I was picking it up.
23:20
Speaker 4: I had a little bit in the tank to pick
23:22
Speaker 4: up that last sort of yeah, yeah, arms aloft, G
23:28
Speaker 4: and R whoever it.
23:29
Speaker 1: Was the picture exact.
23:33
Speaker 3: And yeah, arms aloft.
23:35
Speaker 4: As I went over the line and saw the lovely
23:37
Speaker 4: lady you put the medal.
23:38
Speaker 3: Round, what a feelings amazing?
23:41
Speaker 4: It was actually euphoric, is I think it's not an
23:44
Speaker 4: exaggeration to describe the emotions at that point.
23:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay, well you come in there your second half.
23:51
Speaker 1: How did that go?
23:52
Speaker 5: Yeah? So the first half of the second half was really,
23:56
Speaker 5: you know, sort of it was going well. It was
23:58
Speaker 5: going well, but like I said, it was so hot
24:00
Speaker 5: on the day. I didn't account for how many gels
24:02
Speaker 5: and stuff like that I should have kept in my pocket.
24:05
Speaker 5: So around mile twenty or twenty one, I think it was,
24:09
Speaker 5: I ran out of gels, right, and at that point
24:11
Speaker 5: I was thinking, right, okay, these last few miles are
24:14
Speaker 5: going to be absolute hell, which they were. I think
24:17
Speaker 5: I got to mile twenty three and my right leg
24:19
Speaker 5: cramped up and I luckily I didn't stop until that point.
24:22
Speaker 5: And then I did stop, and I was thinking, oh
24:24
Speaker 5: my god, I can't do this. And there was a
24:26
Speaker 5: woman on the sidelines and she said, last five k,
24:30
Speaker 5: last five k, so I'm thinking, okay, right, we could
24:32
Speaker 5: do this, we could do this. And then I'm looking
24:34
Speaker 5: down at my watch and it was definitely longer than
24:36
Speaker 5: five k. So but yeah, the second half was mostly positive.
24:42
Speaker 5: And then I got to the last mile marker and
24:44
Speaker 5: I saw my best friend and he was screaming at me,
24:47
Speaker 5: and he had a sign up for me as well,
24:49
Speaker 5: and that sort of carried me over the finish line.
24:51
Speaker 5: But it was like a you know, well, it was
24:54
Speaker 5: a movie scene really, you know, when the corridor keeps
24:56
Speaker 5: getting longer and longer and longer, and I'm on that
24:58
Speaker 5: last three hundred yards and I'm thinking, come on, I
25:01
Speaker 5: need to be done now, to be done at that point.
25:03
Speaker 1: But yeah, he said three, that's a great way of
25:08
Speaker 1: describing it.
25:09
Speaker 2: It does feel like that.
25:10
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then you finish and like Mum said, it
25:13
Speaker 5: is euphoric. You're hugging random people you've never met, and
25:17
Speaker 5: that's that's what it's all about.
25:18
Speaker 1: Is yeah, brilliant. So Phil, your second that.
25:21
Speaker 2: Uh my second half was nowhereea as good as my
25:24
Speaker 2: first half, I'd say that. So I think what you
25:26
Speaker 2: said about euphoria at the finish. I felt that on
25:29
Speaker 2: Tower Bridge, like it was just like overwhelming. And as
25:33
Speaker 2: I got to the end of Tower Bridge, my wife
25:35
Speaker 2: and daughter were there with their signs and whatnot. I
25:37
Speaker 2: stopped and had had a chat while my wife is
25:39
Speaker 2: like screaming at me, going keep running. Benadict's right behind you.
25:42
Speaker 2: Benedict's a guy I went to university with and I
25:45
Speaker 2: thought she was she meant, you know, as a sort
25:48
Speaker 2: of motivator, like he's right behind you. I've looked at
25:50
Speaker 2: the photo since he was genuinely right behind me, this
25:53
Speaker 2: guy that I've not seen for twenty years anyway. So
25:58
Speaker 2: at that point, at that moment, I've done London Mouth
26:01
Speaker 2: and I was happy. I maybe went another two or
26:04
Speaker 2: three k saw someone that was in quite a bad
26:07
Speaker 2: way on the side of the course, and it really
26:09
Speaker 2: got into my uh, into my head being like, you
26:13
Speaker 2: know what, this is a hot day. I don't really
26:15
Speaker 2: need to do this in three forty I'm just going
26:18
Speaker 2: to back off a bit. And that backing off continued
26:22
Speaker 2: to be honest, well just to the point where I
26:26
Speaker 2: was that stopping and chatting to random people and I
26:28
Speaker 2: just I just really enjoyed the second half. Put from
26:31
Speaker 2: a running point of view, it was wonderful.
26:35
Speaker 1: So you got your medal. I mean the actual moment
26:38
Speaker 1: they put the middle on is that it sounds like
26:41
Speaker 1: it hit you before you got your medal.
26:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly exactly. On Tower Bridge, I was, you know, yeah,
26:48
Speaker 2: quite overwhelmed by it, and by the time I got
26:51
Speaker 2: to the finish, it was more just relief to.
26:55
Speaker 1: Okay, So we're cracking on the time. The clock is ticking,
26:59
Speaker 1: so we've got one more to go. And this is
27:01
Speaker 1: for you. Will any particular reason for Arctic monkeys?
27:04
Speaker 5: I mean, he doesn't love a bit of Arctic monkeys?
27:06
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I know, let's bang it on Aravella
27:24
Speaker 1: Arctic Monkeys twenty thirteen. That was nothing like a bit
27:27
Speaker 1: of Arctic monkeys in the morning, So Will says, right,
27:31
Speaker 1: and we're talking off air. I was hearing all the
27:33
Speaker 1: gruesome tales of toenails falling off, So if you willed,
27:42
Speaker 1: I mean, right now, we've done leading up to the start,
27:46
Speaker 1: the first half, the second half, getting the middle, so
27:48
Speaker 1: we're talking about afterwards, the recovery and stuff like that.
27:52
Speaker 1: How did you feel afterwards? I mean, I've seen videos
27:55
Speaker 1: of people and myself. I've done three marathons, so I
27:58
Speaker 1: know what it's like when you're trying to walk upstairs.
28:02
Speaker 1: So what was your recovery like?
28:05
Speaker 5: Quite a few days I couldn't really walk properly. Mum
28:07
Speaker 5: looked like she hadn't run a marathon and just carried
28:10
Speaker 5: on with dog walks, et cetera, and made me feel
28:11
Speaker 5: really bad about myself. Yeah, I couldn't really walk my
28:16
Speaker 5: toenails pretty much. So you lost some toenails, Yeah, definitely,
28:20
Speaker 5: but it's you know, there's pro that there's no maintenance now,
28:22
Speaker 5: so yeah, there we go.
28:25
Speaker 1: Okay, So Makayla, it sounds like you was we exaggerating
28:28
Speaker 1: when you said you was all right.
28:30
Speaker 4: Well, the Monday was pretty tough. You know, going downstairs
28:34
Speaker 4: was worse than going up. But as you said, we've
28:37
Speaker 4: got a dog, right, so gentle walks, I think, And
28:41
Speaker 4: by the Wednesday I think I was going up and
28:43
Speaker 4: downstairs normally, so just gentle walks.
28:46
Speaker 3: And I'm better when i'm moving than when i'm not.
28:50
Speaker 4: Yeah, it wasn't actually as bad as she was expecting.
28:53
Speaker 1: Oh that's good. Yeah, I feel What about you? How
28:57
Speaker 1: many toenails did you lose?
28:59
Speaker 2: Five? They're framed alongside I framed alongside my medal. I
29:05
Speaker 2: was expected them to grow back by now, but still
29:08
Speaker 2: still no anyway recovery wise. So what I can remember
29:13
Speaker 2: when at the finish and towards the finish, I was thinking,
29:16
Speaker 2: I can't wait to get a beer, and then when
29:19
Speaker 2: I got a beer, I couldn't stomach the thing. I
29:22
Speaker 2: really struggled with it. So I've been told that Guinness
29:24
Speaker 2: is the answer, So next time, it's a Guinness. After
29:27
Speaker 2: the finish.
29:28
Speaker 1: Anywhere after did you ever be was it like, yeah.
29:32
Speaker 2: Maybe an hour? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I struggled to keep
29:35
Speaker 2: anything down for the rest of the day, to be honest.
29:37
Speaker 2: And then the following day I was back in the office,
29:39
Speaker 2: back to the scene of the crime. Actually because I
29:41
Speaker 2: work in I work in the city, So I walked
29:43
Speaker 2: over tower Bridge the following day exactly.
29:46
Speaker 1: It was so emotional for you. In fact, you've walked
29:48
Speaker 1: over it several times. Yeah.
29:49
Speaker 2: So I mean when I'm in the office, I walk
29:52
Speaker 2: over tower Bridge every day, do you know. It's sort
29:54
Speaker 2: of three two or three days a week, and have
29:56
Speaker 2: done for the last two or three years. So I
29:58
Speaker 2: sort of visualized going over tower Bridge so so many times,
30:02
Speaker 2: and then to do it with so many people though,
30:03
Speaker 2: it was Yeah, anyway, I'm not gonna keep on paying
30:05
Speaker 2: all the bother.
30:07
Speaker 1: That's a good point act. So I mean you must have,
30:10
Speaker 1: as you say, leading up to it, you've walked over it,
30:12
Speaker 1: walked over it, and then you thought, I'm going to be.
30:14
Speaker 2: Sort of visualize it, yeah, and yourn't mind. Yeah, I'd
30:16
Speaker 2: planned which song I was going to have on on
30:18
Speaker 2: my headphones going over Tower Bridge, and then I didn't
30:21
Speaker 2: have that on because there's just so much naughties that you.
30:23
Speaker 1: Don't actually, because I had a lot of feedback from
30:27
Speaker 1: runners saying it's the noisiest one they've ever been to.
30:30
Speaker 1: Now it was your U three guys, it was your
30:33
Speaker 1: first marathon, but I mean, did you find it noisy? Yeah?
30:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, really noisy. It was definitely By about three hours in,
30:43
Speaker 2: I was like, I wish I could just turn off
30:45
Speaker 2: the noise. I don't know if you guys felt this,
30:47
Speaker 2: so obviously you got your name on your phone charity runner.
30:49
Speaker 2: It's just constantly people go gone feel gone, feel gone,
30:52
Speaker 2: feel And then every now and again you'd hear someone
30:55
Speaker 2: go gone feel king and you look around like who
30:59
Speaker 2: was that? Yeah, and it's too late. They're gone. But
31:02
Speaker 2: someone's actually recognized you, you know, as, yeah, they actually
31:06
Speaker 2: know you type of thing. But yeah, so so loud.
31:09
Speaker 2: That bit, that bit for Blackfire's Tunnel is such a
31:12
Speaker 2: nice reset relief. Although I did get overtaken by a
31:15
Speaker 2: guy in an inflatable chicken outfit at that point, so
31:18
Speaker 2: that was a low point.
31:19
Speaker 1: When I was at Greenwich, the case You're Dead right
31:22
Speaker 1: about that field because I was looking out there were
31:25
Speaker 1: so many runners I was looking out for, and all
31:28
Speaker 1: of a sudden a runner went by it, well like keV,
31:31
Speaker 1: and I just called this chap out the call the
31:33
Speaker 1: way away, you know. And I didn't see him for
31:35
Speaker 1: about a month. I said, was that you called me
31:38
Speaker 1: at the month and you said, yeah, yeah, he said
31:40
Speaker 1: he just saw me at the last minute. And I
31:42
Speaker 1: just saw him at the last minute. But yeah, it
31:45
Speaker 1: was really spooky. What you say, Simmy Kayla. Now the
31:50
Speaker 1: big question really to all three of you, would you
31:52
Speaker 1: do another one? Yeah? You would?
31:55
Speaker 4: I think I would. I sorry, men won't understand this,
32:00
Speaker 4: but it's a little bit like childbirth.
32:03
Speaker 3: Paying for.
32:06
Speaker 4: I've forgotten the intensity of it, and I think you
32:09
Speaker 4: know I would do it again. Yeah, certain things I
32:13
Speaker 4: do differently, just my training. I would want to beat
32:20
Speaker 4: my time. Yeah, I think I think I would.
32:23
Speaker 3: I think I would.
32:25
Speaker 1: That's why I wanted that when I first started to start.
32:28
Speaker 1: Every year I try and do this get people in
32:30
Speaker 1: that have never ever done a marathon. So now you
32:33
Speaker 1: see you're saying you kind of learned so much, haven't you?
32:37
Speaker 1: About all about yourself for a start involved there's a lot.
32:40
Speaker 4: There's it's it's almost scientific. You know, all the advice
32:44
Speaker 4: and the nutrition and the training it was.
32:47
Speaker 1: And the mistake she made as well. You know, it
32:51
Speaker 1: all comes back and the fact that that you say
32:55
Speaker 1: you would like to do an no one is really
32:56
Speaker 1: really positive. So what about you then?
32:59
Speaker 5: Will Yeah, I'll definitely do another one. I think looking back,
33:02
Speaker 5: I don't even know how I just did that one.
33:06
Speaker 5: I think the biggest thing is that you just have
33:07
Speaker 5: to sign up to it, and I think committee self, Yeah, committeelfa,
33:11
Speaker 5: just sign to them and then you've got that goal.
33:13
Speaker 5: Then yeah, because it's hard to keep that motivation when
33:16
Speaker 5: you haven't got a golden mind.
33:17
Speaker 2: Yeah.
33:17
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I'll definitely do another one.
33:18
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys seem to have the three of
33:20
Speaker 1: you seem to have done if you like, done your
33:22
Speaker 1: own thing. But I mean I found that being closely
33:26
Speaker 1: associated with folks and running club, they go more handed.
33:30
Speaker 1: I mean a few years ago we went up to
33:34
Speaker 1: Manchester to watch and run. My Sue said to me,
33:37
Speaker 1: do you fancy kind of Manchester to watched the marathon?
33:40
Speaker 1: I said, no, no chance all that way. So I
33:42
Speaker 1: turned it round and we had actually a week in
33:45
Speaker 1: the peak district. We had a Wednesday to the Wednesday
33:47
Speaker 1: and then we got the train into Manchester at the
33:50
Speaker 1: weekend and it was a brilliant weekend. It really was
33:52
Speaker 1: being a spectator. And the fact was that some of
33:55
Speaker 1: the lower city marathons they're not a strict I mean
33:59
Speaker 1: in London as a dictator, if the toilets are across
34:02
Speaker 1: the road and you want to go toilet, you've got
34:04
Speaker 1: run about ten miles an hour to get there, just
34:08
Speaker 1: across the road, you know, whereas at Manchester you could
34:10
Speaker 1: nip across in between the runners, you know, showing them
34:12
Speaker 1: the respect they deserve obviously. But what about you, Phil,
34:15
Speaker 1: would you go for another one?
34:16
Speaker 2: Yeah? I would. In fact, I've signed up to another
34:18
Speaker 2: one in September you, which is the Vilnius Marathon in Lithuania.
34:24
Speaker 2: A bit of a random choice, but it fits well
34:27
Speaker 2: with the hockey season. It's the weekend before the first
34:30
Speaker 2: match of the next season.
34:31
Speaker 1: I will say actually that when I did my first
34:35
Speaker 1: marathon in the eighties, there was hardly any around. But
34:39
Speaker 1: now I mean I'm getting feedback there's two runners, one
34:44
Speaker 1: particular runner I want to get in. We've done the
34:46
Speaker 1: Big six, I can't name them, but it's like San
34:48
Speaker 1: Francisco to Berlin, Boston. Yeah, and they've completed them and
34:53
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get them in to have a chat.
34:56
Speaker 1: But now the marathon running is global. We know it's global,
35:00
Speaker 1: and it's just such a massive thing and the opportunities
35:03
Speaker 1: are there. Sometimes we two companies, Sometimes you can do
35:06
Speaker 1: it on your own. We went to Berlin a few
35:08
Speaker 1: years ago because my partner, Sue, she had run the
35:11
Speaker 1: Berlin Marathon in recent years a long time ago and
35:14
Speaker 1: wanted to go back there, so we mixed it in
35:16
Speaker 1: with a holiday and I really enjoyed it. It was great.
35:19
Speaker 1: Now I will say this, we are absolutely running out
35:21
Speaker 1: of time. I've got a minute and a half, So
35:26
