New York is calling… The TCS New York City Marathon is this weekend, but are Martin, Deena, and the elite field ready? One man who is, and our special guest on Marathon Talk this week, is NYC legend, 12x New York finisher and 3x Six Star Finisher, Ron Romano - he gives us the lowdown on how to nail New York!
