Athleticos.

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.

Almost a year on from our first podcast and David has returned Spain. Hurrrrah.

On the show today,

  • We give a wink and a nod to our favourite podcast of the moment, ‘My Dad Wrote a Porno’ as David takes a very sexy trip to the trackcastic offices
  • We check up on David’s bold predictions made at the beginning of this year
  • Chris (the only athletico to own a diamond league diamond, FOR REAL!!) tells us why this year’s diamond race is in serious need of a re-structure
  • We discuss some DL results, as well as our favourite races from trials at home and across the sea.
  • PLUS we pose some questions for Seb

WARNING: this episode of Trackcastic is deeply sensual and alluring (read: non-sensical and disturbing)
