    Another great show guys. I've loved the run walk shows BUT as listeners to IMTALK you must know about Bobby McGee http://www.bobbymcgee.com/ . He would be a fantastic interview. He was mind blowing in on episode 171 of IMTALK and I'm sure he'd be great with you guys. He brings a really elite view on the subject, which can only add to it's credibility. Go get I'm guys - you'll be happy you did! PS He's from South Africa so you might even get a connection with the CRAZY race your going to do!!

    Hello Tom and Martin,

    It might be a bit late, but I wondered if you could post the Eisenhower Marathon (4/9/2011; Abilene, Kansas,USA) on your events page. I had been wondering for some time how you add an event, but just heard on the latest show to drop a note to do so.

    I'll be running that race and it would be neat to know of potential other Kansans who listen to the show and will be running.

    Anyways, another great show it was this week.

    All the best,
    Tony
