• 2:24
  Speaker 1: by local athlete Amy Sega. Hello, Amy, how are you right?
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Thank you good? Excellently good. It's so good of you
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to come back. And this is so interested in this one.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I'll explain in a minute. So now, Amy, back in December,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: yourself and Darren Scrivens came into the studio and told
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: us all about your you completely run in Ethiopia. Well,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: since then, you've taken part in a ten k in
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Rykavik in Iceland. Is that right?
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: It's a totally different environment, isn't it.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, different temperature as well.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay, well, well we'll come onto that in a minute,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: but we just tell us a little bit about yourself.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: For me, you're an accomplished runner, and do you you know,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you take a lot of trophies. Was you always good
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: at running or was it just something that you came
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: into a little bit later in life.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I was quite good at running at school, but I
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: kind of lost motivation. I didn't enjoy pee towards the end,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: and I just every now and then went back to
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: a bit of running, but didn't take it that seriously.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: I didn't really have that much confidence in myself. And
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: then I started running a bit during COVID and started
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: to look for races and thought there must be like
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: clubs locally that I could join. So I started looking
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: into clubs and happened to bump into somebody who was
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: a member of South Kent Harriers. So she invited me along.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Oh great. So when you say COVID, I mean it's
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: only look four or five years ago really, so you're
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: quite a recent achiever. Yeah, well you had a little
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: hidden talent there that has been nurturing a way. So
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: you joined the club? Who did you join?
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I joined South Kent Harriers.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Right, And I mean they're a lovely club. I know them,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: you know them. They're a lovely bunch of people. And
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: so did you find you you know that you were
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: struggling to start with or did you kind of slip
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: in and keep up with everybody?
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I think I kept up straight away with the group
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: that I was in, and everyone was really friendly and
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed having the structure of going twice a week
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: and joining them with training. And the more I did that,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the more I wanted to run.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, but you it's no secret now, but you've
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: developed even further now and you've changed clubs. Was there
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: any reason for that?
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I just thought I need to have sort of more
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: people to be able to chase And I do miss
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: my old coach and I missed his training, but I
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: think it was time for me to move on.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean it's a lot of clubs
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: if you like, if you're bursting with vantergy and you've
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: got a lot of natural talent, then you can feel
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: that you've kind of peaked at that club, can't you.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: And the Victories Ken, I know them from old They've
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: got a track and do you prefer running on the track?
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Race? Do you race on the track with in Victor?
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: I have done this summer. I've done quite a few
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: three thousand meters, fifteen hundred meters and miles and a
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: couple of five thousand meters as well, which is a
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: new experience and I've enjoyed it, and I want to
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: get Peb's on the track as well, but I do
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: enjoy road more.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, good, okay, So moving onto the track if
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: you like, has it made a difference. I mean, let's
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: talk about injuries if you like. Since you you know,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: you might be running a bit faster on the track,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: have you picked up any injuries?
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Not really, not on the track. I got an injury
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: doing cross country last year, but I think from what
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: my physio said, it was an injury that's waiting to
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: happen because I wasn't strong enough. But having had the
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: injury and known now how I can prevent that happening again,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: I'm making sure i'm doing strength and conditioning as well
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: as going to the track.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, And I mean, have you found it
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: your times have got better since you've moved.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm getting a better five k time consistent. I'm
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: yet to see an improvement in a tame k, but
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: it should be coming hopefully.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Oh good. Yeah, yeah, it's funny. I remember I went
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: over to the track in Victory's Kent and there was
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: what they one year they did this thing called a
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: night of five k's. Does that mean anything? So basically
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: they you go along. Everybody knows they're going to run
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: a five k race, but you put in what time
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: you think you can do, so there might be five
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: or six races over the night, so the slower ones
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: do their five k at their chosen time. Anyway, as
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: we got on to the final five k, if you like,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I knew a couple of good road runners from Dover,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: and this chap from Dover took the lead, and quite
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: a big lead as well. But someone said to me, look,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: keep an eye on that one there in Victory's Kent
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: and he's got more experience on the track, and he
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: had more more savvy and very very slowly you picked
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: him off and he beat him. Yeah, so there is
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: there is a difference, isn't there to running on the track.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Quite I don't think.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So so we've spoke about distances your training track
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: all road now. But the thing is at the weekend.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: You did a race at the weekend, didn't you tell
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: us about?
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I did too. I did the Kent League cross
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: country on Saturday. I came sixth in Kent and I'm
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: currently third in the Kent League. And then on Sunday
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I did the ashurand District five mile Halloween fancy dress.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Oh was it? Yeah, you're normally good at putting little
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: fancy dresses together.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, to use an old costume because I haven't had
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: time to mate one this year.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And I know the answers of this one.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: But today listen, I said, did you get on in
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the five mileer?
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: I won the five miler?
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: All right, yeah, and I think it was fifth overall.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: You were I could tell you, I'll tell you. I'm
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: going to tell everybody late that actually you were fifth,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: fifth lady in a time i've got down here of
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: thirty one twenty nine.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeahah, I put my predicted time in as thirty
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: one thirty Yeah, that's quite good.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: A second people, yeah, second faster. Great. So let's switch
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: to no, let's keep talking about the five miler. So
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: what sort of we know it was like tarmac if
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: you like, but what was the course like Aulating?
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: It's sort of on country roads up and down and
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: there's a steep hill down and you go around the
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: cone and then back up the steep hill and then
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: it's sort of uphill almost the whole way back. Yeah,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: but that's the third time I've done it, so I
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: was prepared.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: You know, what to expect. Yeah, yeah, well, I think
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: it's very similar to I used to run the ten
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: k there, but we used to start at the sports
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: club just up the road. No, no, we used to
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: use the sports club sandy Hurst Lane as the headquarters.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: But then we used to come down to that lane
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: where we start. But you had to finish in the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: sports club, so as you came down the end of
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: that lane you did a right turn of just a
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: little bit of a slope. But but yeah, but before
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the finish that there was a final hill, so road wise,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: you got anything else was coming up?
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got two five miles in December. There's one
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: the than five mile, I think it might be the
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: first of December, and there's podium under the lights five
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: five mile in Basta Park. Oh well, yeah, so I'm hoping.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: I'm hoping to go under thirty minutes in December. That's
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: my aim. Because we've been injured at start of the year.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: I haven't actually achieved any of my aims for the year,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: but I think I'd like to the five mile is
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: the one I'm most likely to get right.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: So it might sound a little bit obvious, but is
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: your time for a five miler or any race effect
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: on the track faster than it is on the road.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: My road five k is faster, just slightly. I think
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: seven seconds faster on the road than I am on
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: the track.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Oh really, that's funny. I thought it would have been
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: the other.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Way thing it normally is. But as you're saying, I
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: don't have the experience on the.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Track, Oh I see, yeah, lose.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: It after after ten laps around you start to think
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: why am I doing this?
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's the other thing. When you see these
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: people at you know, high profile events at Crystal Palace
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: and things like that, and they've got to do fifteen laps,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: you know, I think, oh, they must drive them back
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the wall. But they're obviously trained for it and they're
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: ready to go. Okay, well, we're gonna have a little
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: break now and play a bit of music. Does music
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: play much of a part in your life or you're
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: sort of running or you know your preparation.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: I do love music. I listen to music a lot.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: I don't tend to listen to it when I'm running,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: because I don't want to run to the beat of
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: the music, but I can sort of visualize music in
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: my head and I like to think of positive songs
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: when I'm running. I did that in a cross country
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: on Saturday. I had Bill with us in my head
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: the whole time getting me around.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I wish one were a lovely day, well.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Normally, but actually had lean on me in my head.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: All right, excellent, Well you've chosen this one. So does
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: this one, do you know, get your going or.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Keep you focused to feel really positive?
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: And what is it? It's lucky man by.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: The verb exactly, Liz Saba. Listen, that's the verb there.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: And there was no stopping on Amy issues charging around
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: listening to that one. Excellent song. Okay, so we are
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: back in the studio with Amy and are you doing Amy?
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: You are right?
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, good, good, okay. And then last time you and
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Darren come in was very interesting because you just come
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: back or not recently come back from Ethiopia. So just
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: briefly tell us what sort of experience you had running
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: at high altitude? What was that long?
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: It was quite difficult. We didn't know what it would
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: be like, but it's really hard to catch your breath
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: and you feel like you're going seven minute miling and
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: actually you look down at you're watching you were going
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: over eleven minute miling putting in the same effort.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: It was amazing. There were elite athletes up there on
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: top of in Toto where they train. Just seeing them
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: run past it was incredible.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. And I mean but when you came back,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: did you did you was your times? You know? Or
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: you felt like you was running fast?
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: I definitely felt like I was, but we weren't up
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: there long enough. I think it was just confidence from going.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So I mean they talk about altitude training, but
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: do you look I mean, does it really make a
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: difference if you trained for a long time and then
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: you drop down too?
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: I think it.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's a bit of cheeky advantage really, Yeah.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: And you can only get it if you're like sponsored
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: or you've got enough money to put in to go
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: into these places.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Right, Okay, so when you were when you came
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: in last time, you did tell us that you were
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: hoping that Darren was looking at the flights. So if
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: I remember rightly, and to go to Iceland. But you've
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: done that now, so I don't know. Just tell us
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: a little bit about if you're like the whole trip.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, so was it one flight? Do you fly
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: into recovic is it what they call it?
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just one flight from London to Recuvict.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: So was it a package or someone to pick you up?
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: And what did you do your own thing?
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: We just did our own thing. We found somewhere to
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: stay that was like within walking distance off the start
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: of the race, and then we got there a couple
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: of days earlier and we could when we were just
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: having a jog, we could see where it started and finished,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: so we could get prepared for that.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: And what was the sort of climate like at the time.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Well, when we were looking into it, it was supposed
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: to be between sixteen to eighteen degrees and when we
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: got there, it was zero degrees. It was blowing a gale.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: We had all these flags outside the hotel that just
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: wouldn't stop banging because of how strong the wind was.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: And did you take sort of clothing expecting cold weather
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: just in case?
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: I did take layers. Yeah, but I looked at the
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: weather and I thought it's going to be warmer than
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: the than at five mile in December, so I won't
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: need a layers and I won't need a long vest
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: for the race. So I took my crop top. I
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: didn't take my arm sleeves. I did take gloves and
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: a headband just in case it was windy while we
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: were there, and I'm very glad that I did because
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: I wore them in the race.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And I mean the course itself, was it
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: like out and back circular or did you hit the
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: wind one way?
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: And you know, luckily the wind had died down a
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: bit on the day of the race, you still got
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: a bit of the wind on one of the coastlines
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: because it was almost i'd say a circular route, but
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: it wasn't a circle, if you see what I mean.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: And it went along to coastlines, so you did get
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: the wind at certain bits. But it was quite a good,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: quite a flat course. I was amazed, really because I've
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: been directed before and I didn't remember it being flat.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: But it's just along the seafront and there were a
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: few sort of inclines.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: And was it I mean, is it a big race
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: or is it just like another club race.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: It was a huge race. That the biggest race I've
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: ever done. Yeah, it had an expo as well, which
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: I've never experienced before, But that was that was really good.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: In the ten k there were nearly six thousand people,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: but because there was a marathon and half marathon at
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: the same time, there were nearly ten thousand.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Oh right, so difficult to manage, you know when you
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: think of the club races, you know, like five hundred,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: five hundred is quite good these days, and you know
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: all the effort that goes into and then to you know,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: to turn up at a race in this tenth and different
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: distances as well. So the organization, how was there plenty
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: of toilets?
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there were enough. We didn't have any problem finding
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: a toilet at the start. I was a bit worried
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: about it, but that there were enough and they were
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: just near the start of the race as well.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Right, So any differences, you know, I mean, was there
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Like what can I say the athletes themselves? Were they
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Do you think they were Icelandic a lot of them?
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Or were they?
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: You can see on the results which country all the
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: athletes are from, and there was there were quite a
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: lot of Icelandic athletes, but there were also people from
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: all over the world.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, many Brits, quite a lot. Yeah. Yeah.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: We looked into it thinking going on last year's results,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: we'd both come away with a trophy and Nie of
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: us did, but Darren was second in his age category,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: and yeah, the person that beating was British.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Oh really, did you have a good race with you
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: for the other time? Yeah.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: I felt like it was going well to about eight
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: and a half k, and then I did start to
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: struggle a bit.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Was it the cold get into you or was
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: it just sort of you know, every sort of metch
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: run day, you know, it's just one of those days.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: I think it was just one of those days. And
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: I've struggled a bit getting back to sort of my
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: good ten k times since being injured. And I started
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: it thinking I was going to go really well, and
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: then when it started to not go as well, then
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: I started to worry a little bit.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, Okay, do you worry, But do you
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: get nervous when you're on the start line.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: I get incredibly nervous. Yea, and the day before too.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I know runners, the club runners that have stopped
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: running because or entering races because they get so nervous,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: so you wouldn't think so, would you, And they may
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: sue she did. She did the how it's five k.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: She's been running for years. She was across country champion
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: when she was sixteen. And she said, oh, I couldn't
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: sleep last night. I was so nervous for you're only
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: running around the zoo ground.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Get an upset stomach before a park run, do youeah?
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, oh there was a cracking park run on Saturday.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I've got a till I send my script for later.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: But it's the Donospoort. It's just hit. So this trip
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: to Iceland it was a bit more than just a run.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Did you make her a nice holiday out of it?
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah? We did. I think it's the only time we
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: can get a holiday is if it's slight, if it
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: involves running. So we've got a bit of a holiday
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: around the race, right.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Because the problem that you have, and many people like yourself,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: you are a teacher, so first of all, it's been
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: hard to get hold of you. And because it's half
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: term and I'm so pleased you could come in. So
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: you have to have your holidays in term time. Yeah yeah, yeah, no,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: in holidays out of time. Yeah, yeah, all right, do
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: you get fined if you have a holiday as a teacher.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: They can't just can't do that.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: It's not an option, right, Okay, so let's not get
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: into trouble with the school. So yeah, tell us about
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: what else you did on holiday and you get do
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: you have do you make your own sight seeing trips?
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: You know, book on trips or yeah?
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: I booked us onto a couple of trips. So we
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: did the Golden Circle tour and the coach and we
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: went to the place where the two tectonic plates meet
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: and you can see in the geography where they're moving apart.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: We saw the famous I don't have pronouncing geezers, guys.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Were they dodgy? Well, they dodgy a few.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: We saw a glassier from a distance and gold us
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: famous waterfall. And we also went on a whale watching
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: tour and we did actually see a huntback whales. That
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: made the whole trip for me.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Really Yeah, do they get close or did they obviously
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: stay away?
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: I think the boat that we were on they were
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: really respectful of the whales and gave a lot of distance.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: But some of the other boats chased the whales and
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: they were quite close, but I felt more comfortable on
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: the tour that we were on.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's nice. Yeah. And what about the language out there?
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Have they've got their own language? Yeah?
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: They do.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Do many of them speak English at all?
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Everybody speaks English.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's in fact, it's like it's like Finland. When
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: I was in Finland many years ago and the people
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: that we were working with said, if you want any
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: would you want to know anything Oscar school child? They'll
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: speak English. Yeah. Yeah. So have you got any other
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: trips lined up? Was there anything else that's kind of
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: tickling your fancy for another country? Something different? You know?
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Because a lot of runners that I know and you
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: know as well, Amy, we'll go for the big city
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: marathons and will mix city runs that they used to
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: do marathons, say Lot, Berlin or Paris Sambur But they
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: now started doing that the half marathons in the ten
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: k's and the numbers have just gone up through the roof.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: But Ethiopia and Iceland are certainly a little bit different.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: So thing else play.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: It's hard to find ten k's in other countries because,
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: like you said, marathons are sort of more popular. There's
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: one ten k that I found that is in my
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: school holidays and that's in Helsinki next August, so that
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: might be an option hel Sinky.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, so that's in Finland. That sounds very self
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: tip of Finland, isn't it somewhere in Finland? Yeah?
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: But I think that's right.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Well, as I was telling you, for I went to
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Finland many many years ago, but I was right up
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: the other end as right at the Arctic Circle working
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: on cars when it was out there for about six
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: weeks and temperature did didn't get above mare than twenty
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: so okay. So the organization of the run, the steps
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: you have to go through in Iceland, was it on
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: a par with English? Was it easier?
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah? It was really easy, was it?
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah?
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Signed up online and then they sent details of where
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: we needed to be.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: And what about things simple little things like paying for it,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: you know, trans for the money and you know it's
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: always little problems that you come up are going to
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: That was all, okay, that's fine.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: It said the price in icelandic coroner, and then I
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: just searched up what that would be in pounds in
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Google and then when you pay it takes it in
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Icelandic Corona. But you can see in your bank statement.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: It's silly little things like that that, you know, make
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: you wonder. Me and Sue are going to Berlin in January,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: and I'm getting a little bit tense about it because
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: we're doing our own thing. We're not on a package
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: or anything. We're going to see going to a chaps
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: see chap called Andre Rue in a concert. But I
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: worry a little bit about getting around Berlin.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: And it's really easy to get around burly.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Have you done it?
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my degrees in German, but a lot of most
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Germans speak pervate English.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Public transport is really good.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Oh that's what. That's what I'm interested in, public anywhere.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Oh great, that's great. Oh good's I'm relieved about that.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Now before we go, is it any any thank yous,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: anything happened lately, or any mentions, any hellos as anyone
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: that's listening in.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: I always like to thank Margaret Connelly because she's a
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: great inspiration and helped me and other friends from stuff
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: can Harris, Kevin Southern and Becky Young. When I've had
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: when I've had a bit of a difficult time of
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: being injured. This year they've been there and had ideas
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: for me today.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: And yeah, lovely people.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, honestly, if I didn't have Darren, I wouldn't probably
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: well I probably would be doing all of this but
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: by myself, and it's much more enjoyed.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, great, Okay, Amy, thank you so much for
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: coming in. I'm glad we finally got hold of you.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: But if you do get to hell Sinky, then we're
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: going to have to book you in to another half
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: term and come and tell us all about it. Okay,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: thanks Amy. Okay, we've got another song now, and now
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: I must have been I haven't heard this one before,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: but I put it in our search in the playlist
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: and I've come up with This one is by XTC.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: He's called The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead. Well, there we go.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: That's the first for everyone. I think that was the
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Ballad of Pieter Pumpkinhead. And you know what, I did
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: google it and just now find out a bit about it.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: And it's sung by XTC. It's about an influential figure
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: who is loved by the people but hated by the government.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: He promotes peace, love, fairness and giving, and his opposition
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: ultimately murders him for it. So nothing to do with Halloween,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: but there we go as the first for everybody. Right,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Let's do some sport and it's time for a bit
• 23:49

  Speaker 1: conceding an early goal, they turned it around and goals
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: were shared out between Sammy Carpenter, Josh Byford and Joe Roberts.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: But it couldn't have been an easy game, especially when
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: the Hawkings goalie was awarded Man of the match. Sam
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Hignette was on top four making several saves and even
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: double saves and it sounds like he deserved that honor.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: So well done here gee. This week is back to
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: cup action in the Interriginal Challenge Cup when they welcome CHILLAMFC,
• 25:32

  Speaker 1: they traveled to Eltham in Southeast London to play a
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Metro Gas who are fourteenth out of seventeen teams. Now
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: there's a couple of little things I want to tell
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: you about which came my way. On Sunday, the first
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: of Deces, there is a new run running race on
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: the calendar. But it's it's the sort of race you
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: can It's a five k round your walk stroll and
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: it's organized by south Kent Mind. Now if you fancy
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: taking part in Sunday, December, the first registration opens at
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: ten thirty. There's a warm up at eleven fifty and
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: the race starts at twelve o'clock and I should be
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: on the mic compare in the day. So the run
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: is making raising funds for South Kent Mind and as
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: south Kent Mind are supporting and I love this a
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: mental elf. Please come dressed as an elf or anything
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: festive of course, and if you're a local business you
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: might want to sponsor the event in some shape or form.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: So if you want to find out more about this race,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Like I say, it's not a race, it's just a
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: bit way of dressing up at Christmas, having a bit
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: of fun. And the schools have been joined have been
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: asked to join. Sorry, and we'd love to see loads
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: of schools. If your school is if your child comes
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: home with it used to be a note for your mum,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: but it's probably an email now saying about this race.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Then please please, we'd love you to come along. Now
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: the first point for any information about South Kent mind,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: please go to their Facebook page. Now, a few weeks
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: ago I told you about a friend of mine, Colin Hayden.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Now Colin took up the challenge of running in October
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: for prostate cancer research. Now, as I said to you
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: last time, Colin at the time I left your a
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: tunnel a few years ago and hadn't seen him for
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: a while, but he wasn't built for running. But he's
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: put this challenge on and he's done absolutely a fantastic job.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Now his target was to run fifty miles during the month,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: and today was his last day. So he has raised
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: five hundred and fifty pound, sorry, five hundred and thirty
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: pound of his two hundred and fifty pound targets, over
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: two hundred percent of what he set out to do.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: So how good is that? So wor I'm Colin, and
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: all I can say is just keep up the running,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: don't let it go. You don't have to run every
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: time for a cause, but you probably felt now as
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: the end of the month, you felt the benefits, so
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: please keep it up and massive well done to you.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Right time for bit of music now and we've got
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Meeka and Grace Kelly. I want to talk to you.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: The last time we talked, mister Smith, he reduced me again.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: You do have a bazoo maqueezes as the Meka and
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Grace Kelly. We okay, it's swiftly moving on there because
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: you've got a lot to get through. And if I
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: can't get through most of this that I've got on
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: my schedule here, don't forget. I'll be co hosting with
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: ad Dowks on on Saturday. Yeah, time for turn out,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: attention to run in. So it was a busy weekend
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: for local athletes, with several heading off to Ashford and
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Beachy Head in Eastbourne. I was on the mic at
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: the Bedgbury half and ten k trail runs, which attracted
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: over five hundred and forty runners, many coming from all
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: over the country, but I didn't see any local faces there,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: so they must have probably all been at Beejehead or Ashford.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: The Ashford ten and five miler attracted a total of
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy one runners. Star of the day
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: was our guest who we just spoke to, Amy Seeger.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: She was fifth place in the overall in the five miler,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: but she was the first lady home in a time
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: of thirty one minutes twenty nine seconds. Other local athletes
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: were Kirsty Wilson, she was twelfth thirty five eleven and
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Vicki's got fifteenth in thirty six ten. Sarah Nunn was
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: forty three minutes fifty three seconds and Nick Hilditch was
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: fifty three thirty. McCarthy ran the ten miler in one
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: hour and nine minutes twenty five seconds. Now, if I
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: didn't get all the you local people, I do apologize.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: There were so many, and I did a lot of
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: duck in the divings trying to find out who was who.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: But now the one that runners race that people just
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: keep going back to despite being so difficult is in
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Beachy Head. Now the stage an ultra that's a fifty k,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: which is thirty five miles they do they do the
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: marathon course, then they go back and do the ten
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: k course. So they did that on the Saturday and
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: then a half marathon on a Sunday. Now this day
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: attracts over fifteen hundred runners. Now once again I've done
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: my best to pick out a local runners, so I
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: do apologize if I've left Joe out. So let's crack
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: on and start with the Ultra from the Folkston Club.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: A former guest of the show and a part run
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: run director Trevor Devout did five hours fifty one, Jason
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: king At six nineteen and Ron Bell six twenty one.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: It's from South Kent Harrier's Craig Hoveman he did six
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: hours ten minutes and the marathon times I found were
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Karen Quinn and Kate Clipstone did seven hours thirty three
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: and seven hours thirty six, but they also went back
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: the next day and did a half marathon. Melanroyd Powell
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: did the marathons seven o four, Phil and Jenny Heathfield
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: did five point fifty one. First marathon for Debbie Palmerter
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: six thirty two, Jane Wren did seven o three and
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: coming in together at eight hours and nineteen minutes was
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Jason Crockford, Neil Sutcliffe Adams and Roy Atkins. Another Boonker's
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: runner was Gary Barnes. He run the marathon on the
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Saturday and the half on the Sunday. Michelle Barnes and
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Tanya Johnson helped Tom McLeod to his very very first marathon,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: and what a tough one for the first one. So
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: we're on to you. Tom. Cassie Sinclair run the half
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: in two hours twenty six and in the ten k
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Collett windsor one hour and eleven minutes with Kirstin Muller
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: and Rebecca Edwards crossing the line together and one hour's
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: thirty one. Now, it is a really, really tough event,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: but as you can tell by the times, people don't
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: take too much of an effort. It's not a personal
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: best course and they obviously all had a lot of
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: fun running around that one, I'll tell you. So we've
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: got two more reports coming up, the Folks and Park
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Run Senior Park Run. We'll start with that. First. Two
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: hundred and ninety two runners finished the Senior Folks and
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Park Run in beautiful conditions on the leaves on Saturday morning. Now,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: this to me was one of the most exciting finishes
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: in the ten years I've been watching Park Run. Nazredine
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Harlan and Emily Davis. I think Emily was a tourist.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: I never found out where she came from, but Nazadene
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: is a local lad They were neck and neck all
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: the way round, with Naz doing all the work in
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: front and Emily looking very comfortable breathing down his neck.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: I thought she was weighing for a moment to pounce
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: and get by, but as they got to the closer
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: to the finish line, Nas pulled away, beaten Emily by
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: just five seconds, both going in PBS and Emily breaking
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: the course record for ladies in a time of seventeen
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: minutes twenty four seconds. Now, the previous fastest that I
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: could find was eighteen minutes twenty one seconds, so that's
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: just about a minute off the previous record. Nas His
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: time of seventeen minutes and nineteen seconds was quick, but
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Charlie Brisley has run that course is fast as time
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: I found was fifteen eight so that is exceptional anyway.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Having said that, the times for nearly all the runners
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: are irrelevant except that you might want to beat your
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: own time from the week before. It's not for everybody.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: It's not all about getting times it's just about getting
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: out in the open air, having a chat and having
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: a good old run and obviously staying fit and healthy
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: in the Radna Park Junior Park Run. Now that's two
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: laps of the Rednap which is a total of two k.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: The event is now in its thirteenth week and so
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: far a total of over fifteen hundred youngsters have crossed.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: The finishing line is held every Sunday morning at nine
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: am and this week one hundred and thirty four runners
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: took part. Jacob Gillett from the Folks and Club. He
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: won the race in seven minutes twenty nine seconds. The
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: newly formed White Cliffs Club entered seven runners and they
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: all came in the top twenty one out of the
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty four. Now, the first few in
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: any race is always going to be competitive, but it's
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: not about that, especially with the kids. If you ever
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: been there before, your child wants to go along and
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: have a little look, then please take them along. Just
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: take them along and have a little look. You get
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: some lovely, lovely scenarios of parents running with their children.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: They stop and have a walk and the kids have
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: a little moan. Mom and dad talk them out of
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: it and they go again, but they all finish with
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: a smile in your face. Now, so please please come along.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: It's free, but you will need a barcode so your
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: time can be recorded for the results. Now, they're always
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: on the lookout for Marshalls, so please use the easiest
