~ trackcastic ~ Leave a comment

Boy oh boy, do we have a bumper edition of TrackCastic for you!

Actual legend CARL LEWIS is on the pod, along with his sprint protege Louie Hinchliffe. Plus, we have special guest Alicia (aka @LissOnTrack) joining us!

We’ve just about recovered from the Paris Diamond League, Alicia was in the stadium to witness 2x World Records and a super-fast men’s 800m.

Jamie & Chris reflect on their freezing cold weekend in Manchester at the British Championships, with all the drama of false starts and falls!

There’s also a look back at the US Olympic Trials and Alicia brings us all the news from the Jamaican Olympic Trials too.

You’ll also hear from Paris-bound Georgia Bell and a very relieved Alastair Chalmers.

Don’t say we don’t spoil you!

Enjoy!
