I'm, I'm smiling just hearing the, the, the, the passion in your voice when you say that because it is like being a child again because, you know, I, I used to love as a kid just, just running.

Iwan ThomasGUEST
I, I then found out, actually, I'm quite quick at it, and then it became like a playground war against my mates who was the fastest, and then it turned into a career, which I never dreamt it would.

Iwan ThomasGUEST
I'm just gonna run and see what happens." And, you know, I, I might bump into other people on the run and say, "Morning," and, and they'll smile at me, and we'll smile back.

Clara HermitHOST
And I think that's one of the good things about rus- running is it's so accessible, isn't it? You need a pair of good trainers, and that's about it.
Iwan Thomas: I've had some silly cars in my time!

Iwan ThomasGUEST
Well, if you enjoy four wheels like I do, and you like two wheels, then tune into Full Chat.

Iwan ThomasGUEST
So it's myself and David Pratton, ex-footballer, and, um, just talking about our love of motorbikes, and I was into bikes before cars.

Iwan ThomasGUEST
And yeah, we have wonderful guests every week where we just talk about their bike history, what makes biking so unique and so special.

Iwan ThomasGUEST
It's, it's, it's, it's a hard one to explain if you're not into bikes, but there's something very beautiful about putting that helmet on, shutting the visor, being at one with your- yourself and just going wherever you, you wanna go.

Chris ThompsonHOST
So I guess what did that feel like to be kind of on top of the world and then how you kind of dealt with that day to day to feel that kind of superpower, I guess?

Iwan ThomasGUEST
I just saw myself as someone who, in sport, it did happen really quickly, like 1992 World Junior Champs.
