    Hi Tom and Martin

    I was just wondering if you could go into some "non-standard" race distance training plans in the near future? Most training plans on the Internet focus on 5K, 10K, HM but neglect other distances such as 10miles and Kilomathon. Should you just adapt a HM programme for these distances or create something unique?

    I love the show, keep up the good work!

    Hey guys,

    I can't seem to get episode 52 or 53 to download in itunes - it's saying the URL could not be found. Anyone else having problems or know how I can fix this?

    Thanks!
