    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.

    The personnel balance isn’t right. There is one excellent ex-athlete/ commentator and 2 commentator/ broadcasters in Richard and Katie.

There is a lot of deferring to Hannah particularly in the review episodes ( and her insights and nerdy stats are ideal in this respect- more of this please ... more

Ep 22: Marco Arop
Q: What was behind that improvement in that time? Was it part of just learning the craft at senior level? Do you agree? Was there a jump between 21 to 22?
Arop explains that as he gained more experience, he began to focus on recovery and nutrition, which greatly improved his performance and understanding of race tactics.
Ep 22: Marco Arop
Q: When you say you did the half marathon, is that in training, sorry, or did you actually enter an event? We're curious to know what that time was at the end.
Arop ran in Huntsville, Alabama, and finished with an official time of 71 minutes, stating it was for fun and not part of his training.
Ep 22: Marco Arop
Q: Marco, for anyone who is a bit like me, like not an elite level runner and wants to know what it's like going into an altitude environment for the first time, how have you actually found it and how have you adapted to it?
Arop shares that he has found altitude training in St. Moritz enjoyable, emphasizing the importance of adjusting to the environment before taking on intense sessions.
Ep 20: Hamish Kerr
Q: So how are you managing the competition pressure during these events?
It's about bringing a positive mindset to each jump and not just focusing on outcomes, but enjoying the moment.
Ep 20: Hamish Kerr
Q: Can we talk about your season so far then Hamish?
We're focusing more on height this season rather than just results, especially with the World Champs coming up.
