~ trackcastic ~ Leave a comment

Hello! What a manic month of Athletics we’ve had as the outdoor season is well and truly underway.

5 Diamond Leagues, World Relays, London Marathon, Gotzis, Night of the 10Ks and a whole host of other events already in this Olympic year – and it’s only May!

In our 60th episode, we discuss the strengths of the Irish team, Kevin Mayer’s invite to Rome, 3 World Records and how well the Brits are going in 2024.

So much to take stock of before the Scandi Diamond Leagues and Rome European Championships. Enjoy!

~ trackcastic ~ Leave a comment

Glasgow put on a show!!

Molly Caudery & Josh Kerr got the home crowd on their feet. Femke Bol & Devynne Charlton set World Records. Belgium & New Zealand had a Champs to remember!

Gabby has all the multi drama from the mixed zone, including interviews with Simon Ehammer and Ken Mullings. Ceri and Chris have all the gossip from stands, whilst Carol & Jamie give their take from watching at home.

So much to discuss and dissect from a wonderful weekend in Scotland for the 2024 World Indoor Athletics Championships, so it’s a nice bumper edition of TrackCastic to fit it all in!

Pal, grab your Irn Bru, Tunnocks & deep fried Mars Bar and enjoy reminiscing about Glasgow 2024.

Thanks for listening!

Happy Champs Eve!

Much like the British team, a small TrackCastic crew has assembled for another in-depth champs preview pod!

Carol, Ceri and Chris chat through the ones to watch in all disciplines ahead of a home World Indoor Championships in Glasgow.

It wouldn’t be TrackCastic without a rant or two, so hear what we think about the proposed changes to the Long Jump and the downright rude non-selection of Guy Learmonth!

So if you’re travelling to Glasgow this week, get listening to this preview pod & you’ll be all set for a fantastic weekend of Athletics.

Enjoy!

Episode 57: Re/Preview

~ trackcastic ~ Leave a comment

We’re back! It’s Olympic year! So it’s time for a fresh new look…

We were too busy rigging the World Athletics Awards to record our annual Christmas special. So instead, we have our re-preview pod – a review of 2023, whilst also previewing 2024. Plus some outrageous predictions for the Athletics year ahead.

There’s also a new (potentially one-off) strand to the show with Ceri’s (Deep) Heat magazine gossip section. All the coaching changes, marriages and pregnancies that you can shake a javelin at.

Tweet us at @Trackcastic to share your predictions for the year ahead. There’s a lot to look forward to, with Glasgow World Indoors, Rome European Champs and the Paris Olympics!

TrackCastic was born in 2016, just ahead of the Rio Olympic Games – and we’re still going 8 years later – thanks to you listeners!

Happy listening!

~ trackcastic ~ Leave a comment

Best World Champs ever?! Budapest was the BudaBest! We’ve only just recovered from it 6 weeks later, to give you a proper debrief of all the action from the Hungarian capital.

Gabby is still overjoyed at her pre-champs prediction coming true, Dave discusses all the distance running drama and Carol explains why she squealed in a bathroom.

Plus, there’s a round up of the final Diamond League meetings, Talence multis and some ridiculous road running!

Enjoy reminiscing about a roasting summer champs!
