Hello and welcome back to The Big Run. 
I hope you have a good weekend of running ahead. 
Our search for Performance of the Month in partnership with SOAR running continues apace. We want to give two lucky people a brand new marathon system. Details of which can be found below. 
Plus there's a tasty 15% off at SOAR until the end of the month with the code bigrun15.
Today's guest is Lloyd Kempson. He joined me for an easy 5 miles in the London sunshine around Victoria Park.
Nike coach, founder of Team Project Run and with over 20 years and counting experience as an athlete over events ranging from 800m to marathon in competitions ranging from club level up to national championships.  Lloyd prides himself as being an example for his athletes and embodying the motto that there is no substitute for hard work. 
In this conversation, we dig into Lloyd's long connection to the sport and his plans to push it forward by staging the Comeback 5000 on the 15th of April.
Thanks for listening 
Danny 

COMPETITION INFORMATION

This spring SOAR are giving you – and a running partner - the chance to win a Marathon System each. Comprised of a pair of marathon shorts with integrated storage for up to 6 in-race gels, plus an ultralightweight Race Vets 4.0 – weighing in at just 47g in a size M.
For your chance to win they want to hear about a performance by a training partner, or friend of yours, which has inspired you recently. It’s not just about smashing a PB or breaking the tape though. Performance can – and does – mean different things to different folk. So we want to hear about a performance which has inspired you, stood out to you, or overcome adversity. It doesn’t need to be race related either, it can be training progress, a huge personal feat, returning from injury or embracing a new running challenge. We just want to hear why it’s inspired you, and is a worthy winner, in no more than 250 words!
To submit your nominee – and be in with a chance to win – simply email your tale to alex.i@soarrunning.com with ‘Performance Of The Month’ in the subject line.
Nominations must be in by Monday 11th April. Then, I’ll be sitting down with the team at SOAR to decide our chosen winner, based on the case we think is most compelling. Both the winning nominee and nominator will win a Marathon System and we’ll announce the winner later in April.
What’s more….
SOAR are also offering 15% off for listeners of the Big Run Podcast until the end of April – so kit yourself out for spring race day, or the summer miles ahead and enter code bigrun15 when checking out at soarrunning.com
