Welcome to this special series of preview podcasts to celebrate the return of the Night of the 10,000m PB’s. 
From Monday to Friday there will be a brand new episode talking to key figures of the events past and future as we look forward to the return of the Glastonbury of Athletics on May 14th.
The Big Run is proudly supported for this special Run of podcasts by Like the Wind Magazine.
We have a bumper episode for you today with not one but FOUR guests. Who joined me on the phone to look forward to return of the Night of the 10ks. 
First up is Peter Scott, a regular fixture at Lee Valley Athletics centre where he works, a former competitive athlete and lifelong friend of organiser Ben Pochee. He has been connected to the event since its start. His energy, mc'ing and outfits hyping up the crowd as the action unfolds. 
The next caller on the line is Wendy Sly. Wendy is a British former athlete who won a silver medal in the 3000m in the 1984 LA Olympics and won the 1983 10km world road race champs in San Diego. She is now a non-executive director for British athletics and works as managing director for Athletics Weekly.
From one AW key player to another, Jason Henderson has been joining The Big Run on our monthly episodes for the racing forecast. It felt only right to get him on the line to give his take on the elite fields for May 14th. You can read more preview action over on the AW website here:

Hot on his heels and the man of the moment its Ellis Cross.
I caught up with Ellis Cross to take stock of a different kind of 10,000m that captured everyone's imagination last week and what his hopes are on the track this Saturday.

With the support of Like The Wind Magazine and Select Imagery from Curated for Runners.  
Like the Wind is an independent journal telling stories about running. Since issue 1, Like the Wind has been published quarterly, with 31 issues under its belt. It is sold mainly through subscriptions, to readers in 40 countries. The strapline of the magazine is: it’s why we run (not how to run) and so there are no product reviews, training plans or nutrition tips. Instead, Like the Wind explores topics such as the environment, social issues (like racism or gender inequality), mental health and – quite often – the simple joy of running. 
Like the Wind will be producing a special edition programme for Night of the 10,000m PB's for all attendees to the event on May 14th  
Like the Wind can be found at www.likethewindmagazine.com where people can subscribe and on Instagram and Twitter as @likethewindmag.
