  • Great for the sport!

    Love the enthusiasm and better than the US based main athletics podcasts. Would rather listen to Podium even though I am in US. No politics just athletics! Thank you!!

  • wOw!

    Big thanks to Podium. After the ‘nonsense’ of a certain co-owner of a US-based website’s track podcast, this is a breath of fresh air. Loved the two athlete interviews I listened to thus far.

    Adding to an earlier review (above). Still enjoying it. But I could use a little less ‘where were you this weekend?’, especially if it was a cricket or tennis match, at the beginning of the pod. And, also, please cut back on the gratuitous cackling.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Grant Fisher | Double Olympic medallist
Q: What are your thoughts on transitioning to the roads, and what would drive your first marathon?
Fisher talks about the ongoing evaluation of where his strengths lie, the need for a long runway to prepare for a marathon, and the possibility of debutting before the 2028 cycle, depending on how training and opportunities align.
Grant Fisher | Double Olympic medallist
Q: How do you think about peaking for a championship year versus chasing fast times in Diamond Leagues?

Grant Fisher | Double Olympic medallist
Q: Can you take us through your 2025 outdoor season and how you managed after the indoor successes in 2024?

Round-Up | Jake Wightman joins as guest contributor, Shanghai Diamond League review
Q: What have you seen from her in terms of her improvements over the past few seasons?

Q: You mentioned aiming to cement yourself as a top runner again after missing Worlds last year. How do you plan to peak for major events later in the season?
Focus on rhythm and consistency across races, choosing strategic Diamond Leagues, and saving peak energy for the World Champs Ultimate and Road World Championships, with the end goal of a strong finish and a good send-off in the final road race of the year.
