#81: Glasgow 2026 - Commonwealth winner Eamonn Martin's bid to change the sport
Thursday, 18 December, 2025

1990 Commonwealth 10,000m champion Eamonn Martin is the latest special guest in a series building up to the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games. Martin reminisces about that glorious moment when he sped away to victory in Auckland 35 years ago, along with his London Marathon victory 1993. He remains the last Briton to win the men's race, and amazingly, he did it on his debut at the distance. The three-time Olympian also tells host Alex Seftel about how he is trying to bring entertainment to cross country as he prepares to host the London Cross Challenge Meeting. It's a busy time of year, as he is also team managing for both England and UK Athletics.
