Episode highlights

“One of my favourite moments is just seeing the city wake up. The sun isn't really up over the east side right now, but you could start to see it hitting some of the buildings, and it really is just what a marathoner wants to see - that picture-perfect, calm, cool morning to be able to make this journey back to where we came from.” - 5:00 - Deena Kastor

“This brings everybody together; regardless of politics, regardless of who you like or don't like, we're all together. We're in the same thing, and want people cheering. They're cheering for you, for me, for everybody.” - 12:00 - Russell, NYPD

“20 miles into the marathon is where it really starts. We're still running now, as we're recording this, and I'm definitely feeling it. 20 miles in, there's no straightforward place to be.” - 21:40 - Martin Yelling
