~ trackcastic ~ Leave a comment

It’s our 75th episode! (And our longest yet – sorry) We break down the 9 incredible days of action from the Japan National Stadium in Tokyo for the 2025 World Athletics Championships.

Highlights included Mondo’s 6.30m World Record, THAT women’s 400m final and a whole host of Gressier/Kambundji/Beamish surprises! We’ll also dissect the performances of the British team & celebrate the new stars of Irish Athletics.

Plus, you’ll hear about a certain karaoke evening from the gang out in Tokyo!

It’s another marathon episode, so feel free to break it down into daily chapters!

~ trackcastic ~ Leave a comment

Well we had a lot to discuss in this pod! So it’s another 2 hour epic 😀

Keely’s BACK! GB Champs were GREAT! US Trials brought DRAMA!

We reflect on a rather brilliant Silesia Diamond League, with that incredible comeback run from Keely, Karsten laying down a marker and Faith being Faith!

There’s also a full debrief of the UK Championships, including interviews with Dina Asher-Smith, Laura Muir, Tyri Donovan and Jazmin Sawyers.

And we had to talk about the US Trials, Kenny pushing Noah, a 16-year-old schoolkid making the team & all those agonising 4th places!

Plus, there’s Euro Under 20’s, Mondo’s latest WR & some breaking Adeleke news!

Episode 71: Relay Saying Something

~ trackcastic ~ Leave a comment

We’re back!

It took Chris so long to recover from the London Marathon, that we needed a break, but we’re back with SO MUCH athletics to discuss.

We look back on the drama of the World Relays, debate whether Grand Slam Track is a better product than the Diamond League and go through the goings on from Gotzis.

Plus, there’s a round up of all the domestic success so far this season. There’s a lot to get through!

Thanks for listening 😀
