  • Love this show!

    Great insight into some of the guests they have on. Love the more chilled nature of the show where it’s more of a conversation and a catch up than an interview.

    63 min for the half but the real question is

    can cooper do it on a cold Tuesday night in Stoke?

    Honestly the podcasts where it’s just chatting (‘waffling’) are generally slot more enjoyable and fun to listen to as there a lot more casual and down to earth

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

He Coached a World Champion… Now He’s Building Something New | Geoff Wightman & Team RG
Q: What is your training philosophy?
Wightman favors a five-pace approach, relatively low mileage, strength and conditioning, and varied training. He is skeptical of making threshold work central for 800m and 1500m runners, though he sees a place for it in developing an aerobic base.
He Coached a World Champion… Now He’s Building Something New | Geoff Wightman & Team RG
Q: Where does the passion and drive still come from to coach at this stage in your career?
Wightman says athletics has been part of his life since his teens, and he wants to pay forward what he learned from the people who helped him. He also misses coaching and believes he still has several years of experience and knowledge to offer.
Balancing a City Job and Elite Running with Joe Hudson
Q: What was the main reason for you actually moving to the marathon then, instead of continuing on the track?
Hudson found the U.S. track season intense and less satisfying because it emphasized fast times over racing. He enjoys competing in groups, longer aerobic sessions, and the challenge of building mileage, which he sees as a better fit for his preferences and strengths.
Balancing a City Job and Elite Running with Joe Hudson
Q: What made you go to America, and why did you stay?
Hudson had considered studying in the United States and later accepted a scholarship offer from Boise State. He enjoyed the university and training environment enough to stay for a third year, although he ultimately had to return to the UK because of work authorization limits.
JOSH KERR FULL INTERVIEW AS NEW MILE WORLD RECORD HOLDER In Partnership with Amazfit
Q: How do you balance media responsibilities, sponsorships, and training at the elite level?
Kerr describes an input-focused approach to media, treating himself as an ongoing product of the sport while ensuring recovery and training remain the priority, aided by a strong team.
