Episode 81: AWMM AMA - Your Questions Answered

Got a question you’ve always wanted to ask the team at Abbott World Marathon Majors? Well, now is your chance! We’re joined this week by Abbott World Marathon Majors Chief Operating Officer Danny Coyle, and Stew "Statman" Haynes, who are here to answer your AWMM questions.

Martin and Deena also talk about their marathon highlight of the year, and we have news from last weekend's Shanghai Marathon as it bids to become an Abbott World Marathon Major.

Before you press play, just to let you know our next episode will be our Christmas Special and we'll be joined by content creator, runner, comedian, and public speaker Laura Green, who will be here to absolve you of (and maybe chuckle at...) your Running Confessions.
