About this episode

The episode discusses the experiences of the hosts at the London and Manchester Marathons in 2025.

It was a big year for marathons at the Run Testers. Nick and Kieran took on London Marathon for another time and Tom nipped up north to try out Manchester Marathon. In this podcast (also available as a video on YouTube) we chat through both events, from the course and crowds to the kit we wore on the day. Big thanks to Fear of Tigers for the killer intro music.
