E64: Russell Winwood - The COPD Athlete

COPD is the third leading cause of death worldwide, but that's not stopped Russell Winwood from a stellar journey to his Six Star Medal.

He's our inspirational guest on this week's Marathon Talk, taking us through his battle with the relatively unknown lung disease.

Join us for this episode, as we also round up all the latest in the running world - from Jacob Kiplimo's blistering half-marathon WR, to a milestone moment for our Six Star Finishers this weekend in Tokyo!

In this episode of Marathon Talk:

0:00 - We kick off this week with a catch up that takes us through cross country comps, birthdays, and Martin's map-mishaps
7:40 - The London elite field is looking racier off the back of Jacob Kiplimo's new half-marathon WR, so we look ahead to weigh up his chances, set our sights on Tokyo's race this weekend, and share the huge milestone for AWMM's Six Star Finishers
22:30 - Russell Winwood talks us through his battles with COPD, the third leading cause of death in the world, and how he's overcome the odds to become a Six Star Finisher
