E38: Visually-Impaired Six Star Hopeful Mark Rogerson & his guide Katie Garrity

Marathons form very unique bonds within the running community, but when your life is in your guide's hands it's truly a bond like no other.

That's where Six Star hopeful Mark Rogerson's story sheds light on the joys of running - he joins us on this week's Marathon Talk fresh from a PB-setting Tokyo race with guide runner Katie Garrity.

Join us this week as we round off all the other stories from the first Abbott World Marathon Major of the year, from surprising slow runs, to sprint-finish drama in the Women's Wheelchair race.
