Episode 118 - Martin Clark
Episode 118
Tuesday, 20 January, 2026

Sean, Katie, Dave & Cal speak with a Bury AC Athlete who has been made a massive transformation from self-described 'Emo' phase to running sub 15min 5k. Martin talks about how he had a wake-up call when in New York and made a choice to start his running journey. His journey goes from breaking 1 hour for 10k, then 40min, and bringing that time right down showing his natural talents. Martin is a big beliver in locking into a pace and not using your watch to drive your performance, he explains how he does this when he hit a 67min half at Manchester Half. He talks about 'race weight' and how he manages his weight and still enjoys pizza, beer and chocolate. Martin has a go at our new quick fire rounds and a new Desert Island Jog section.
