  • Becoming an annoying infomercial

    There is still a lot of interesting content, but it’s becoming increasingly less appealing with the constant product promotion. It used to be possible to fast-forward through the adverts, but now the promotions form large parts of many of the interviews.

  • 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!!

Q: What were the main takeaways from Silesia and how do they set up Zurich?

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.
