Show notes

Hannah and Rich round-up the best of the racing from the New York City Marathon, where Andreas Almgren lived up the hype by winning on his debut over the distance by producing one of the quickest ever finishes.

There's reaction to Sheila Chepkurui's win, with Jess McClain's second place putting an American on the podium for the first time in eight years, and Marcel Hug being given a big test by Daniel Romanchuk.

But we start the podcast by paying tribute to 2024 European 1500m champion Ciara Mageean, who has died at the age of 34 following a battle with cancer.

Show notes

Claudio Berardelli | Coach of Sabastian Sawe and Emmanuel Wanyonyi on world records, future targets and life in Kenya

Show notes

Courtesy of our sponsors Maurten, Italian coach Claudio Berardelli joins us for remarkably open and honest extended interview.

The coach behind the success of marathon world record holder Sabastian Sawe - the first man under 2 hours in race conditions - and 800m Olympic and world champion Emmanuel Wanyonyi, covers a huge range of topics.

In the first half, we discuss Claudio’s unconventional journey to become a running coach (having previously raced as a cyclist and studied sports science), the highs and lows of living and coaching in Kenya - including the doping culture that is casting a shadow over the country, including past athletes he has worked with - and his coaching techniques.

In the second half, Claudio gives an insight into Sawe’s remarkable run in London and talks about his targets in the future, including the Olympics and more technical courses. We also talk about Wanyonyi’s chances of breaking the 800m world record, whether he could move up in distance, and tactical plans for the New York City Marathon - where Benson Kipruto leads the men’s field.

Show notes

European 10,000m champion Andreas Almgren takes time out to speak to Podium, courtesy of sponsors Maurten, ahead of the World Road Running Championships in Copenhagen.

The Swedish athlete talks to Podium about his unlikely move to distance events having started in football and the 800m, how his mentality is one of his super strengths, training with Jakob Ingebrigtsen and about his build-up to New York.

Ngetich is threatening the world record over that distance, having already run 28:46 over 10k on the roads - the best mark ever. She also won gold at the World Cross Country Championships earlier this year but has unfinished business on the track - having recovered from fourth place in Tokyo to set one of the fastest 3000m times ever in Monaco in July.

Ngetich discuses her background, route into the sport and so much more.
