Sean WarburtonHOST
yeah yeah
Dave NormanHOST
yeah and I have to say I was watching the live stream and uh both the men's and the women's races were great to watch it was uh for most of that men's race there was probably six or seven uh in contention but yeah um great win for Alex Duran um second time he's won uh a half in Manchester this year after winning the um the great run earlier in the year
Sean WarburtonHOST
yeah Yeah, I don't think...
Sean WarburtonHOST
Was he...
Sean WarburtonHOST
Wasn't he expected to win that, was he, do you think?
Dave NormanHOST
I think his PB was from that Manchester half at Great Run earlier in the year, which was 65 minutes, so he's taken a big chunk off that, but...
Dave NormanHOST
Yeah.
Dave NormanHOST
Yeah, he's obviously... an athlete who's progressing quite quickly
Hugh BrazierGUEST
The race directors were here in London a few weeks ago, and then they came to watch the Naboon London Athletics meet that day.
Hugh BrazierGUEST
London Marathon, along with Great Run and UKA put on.
Hugh BrazierGUEST
And so it's being able to hear what they're doing, bounce ideas off.

And if you take what was going on in COVID, understanding what was happening in Germany, understanding what was happening in each state in America and the differences that they were having, understanding what was going on in Japan was enormously beneficial.
Jennifer WettonGUEST

I fell out with him a few years ago.
Jennifer WettonGUEST
But, yeah, I'd much rather go to a smaller race and support that sort of thing, definitely.
DaniHOST
And it was also a chance for me to chat to Dame Kelly Holmes and the BBC newsreader and, well, epic runner Sophie Raworth on the live stage in the Charity Village where we were also promoting this campaign.
DaniHOST
Now, do make sure that you've signed up to our newsletter for a chance to grab one of our free entry spots at one of the Great Run events next year.
DaniHOST
We'll let you know more about that in subsequent newsletters.
DaniHOST
And we might even get some of you on the pod next year to talk about good habits in fitness and in finance as well.
Rachel BayHOST
So don't just check up on your pension once a year, maybe a bit more often than that.
DaniHOST
Really good habits.
DaniHOST
That was something I was talking about a lot at the weekend because, of course, the Great Run was all about running and how many miles people had done in preparation.
DaniHOST
And those little habits really helped people build up to be able to do the home thing.
