Episode 19 begins with an ode to everyone’s favourite Russian, the sass-tastic, Mariya Lasitskene.
We choose our own ‘neutral anthems’
We discuss our many feelings in relation to British funding
My 2017 without funding: -6th at the World Championships -1500m 4:00.71 (best in 3 years) -800m 2:01.87 PB -Road Mile 4:17.6 British Record -5000m 15:08.24 PB
Funding doesn't define me. My team, hard work and love for the sport does 💃🏻
Rejoice. Our resident Agony Aunt, Dr. Dan O’Connor RETURNS. If ‘Agony Aunt’ was an athletic event, Dan would surely be Clova Court’s high jump. YOU ARE WELCOME.
On the show today:
We discuss some of the meets that wrapped up this wonderful season
We try (and obviously fail) to understand the Diamond League scoring system
Dan delves into his bulging post bag
And we step into our athletico time machine to predict what strange things we might see in a decade, at the L.A 2028 Olympic Games.
Also, here’s Mary Keitany at the Great North Run. Legend.
