    It might not be what you expected, but it's episode 70 of the Back Straight featuring Mark Kirk! We decided to put this episode together in advance of the Belfast BMC this coming weekend, and since there has been so much happening on the roads and track locally as well as abroad! Mark was a great guest as always and talks us through what to expect at this year's iteration of the Belfast BMC, and then we get stuck into the results and some controversy about the local prizes at the Belfast Marathon.

    May 13 2026

    In episode 69 of the Back Straight Podcast we keep it pretty simple with a recap of two recent events; The Belfast City Marathon and the Belfast Classic, whilst also featuring an interview with the recent national marathon champion, Judith Storm. The action in the marathon and at the Belfast Classic was unforgettable and it was great fun delving into it together. We also really enjoyed the chat with Judith, someone that we didn't know too much about but are now eagerly watching for all of the future events she signs up to. Thanks go to Judith for joining us on the episode and also to our listeners to tuning in! Until next time, hooroo!
