Marathon Talk – Détails, épisodes et analyse

One of the major talking points to emerge from last weekend's TCS New York City Marathon was Eliud Kipchoge. Following the completion of his Abbott World Marathon Majors Six Star journey, it felt like the end of an era for the 11-time Majors winner, 2-time Olympic Champion and former World Record holder. On this episode of Marathon Talk, we look back on Kipchoge's career—the highs and lows—and what we will do next.

And one of the things he's suggested he'll be doing next is running a marathon on Antartica, so we're very fortunate to be also joined by a man who knows a thing or two about South Pole running, President of Marathon Tours & Travel, Jeff Adams joins us to tell us more about how the running tourism industry is booming now, and where he'll be taking runners to next.

On this episode of Marathon Talk:

• 1:49 - Martin and Deena discuss all that went down at the TCS New York City Marathon
• 13:04 - We look back on the career of AbbottWMM Six Star finisher, Eliud Kipchoge
• 30:14 - We're joined by Jeff Adams, president and owner of Marathon Tours & Travel.
