It was marathon week on The Sports Agents, inspired by the London Marathon...

First up is Eilish McColgan, the four-time Olympian who's making her marathon debut in London. Her mum won the race just under 30 years ago, and now Eilish is hoping to break her record. (02:30)

Former England cricket captain Andrew Strauss says he'll be chasing ex-England team mate Alastair Cook around the course as they run for the Ruth Strauss Foundation, in honour of Andrew's late wife. (08:30)

Gabby and Mark look at how far the marathon has come with Kathrine Switzer, the first woman to officially run the Boston Marathon. She was attacked by the race director but finished the race to lay the path for millions of women around the world. (13:15)

And we had a special bonus Q&A, answering all of your questions. What's your biggest sporting ick? What interview has stuck with you after all these years? And what's your worst sporting FOMO? (20:30)
