Episode 70: Amber Turns Gold & Grand Slam Chat (WIC Review)

~ trackcastic ~ Leave a comment

Hello!

As Chris is training for the upcoming London Marathon, we’ve got another marathon pod for you!

The first hour of the pod is our review of a rather fun World Indoor Championships from Nanjing, where Amber Anning and Jeremiah Azu become world champions for GB!

We then heavily discuss what worked and what didn’t work at the opening Grand Slam Track weekend. Michael Johnson is looking for feedback and we’ve got plenty! Alicia pops in to give her thoughts on it all too.

Plus, there’s the Mixed 4×100 news, a World Relays preview and an update on how well Sprint performed on Netflix!

Should be long enough to get you marathon runners round your final few tapering runs!

March Madness is upon us! We’re still getting our breath back from the fantastic European Indoor Championships in Apeldoorn last weekend, but there’s a World Indoor Championships in Nanjing this weekend!

Carol, Ceri & Chris are here to chat through all the medals won in the Netherlands (mostly by the Dutch team), including some impressive Irish performances and a decent showing from the British #representatives

Plus, we’ll quickly whizz through all the events ahead of Nonjing, sorry, Nanjing which is FINALLY happening after a FIVE year delay.

Enjoy another fantastic weekend of championship athletics!

~ trackcastic ~ Leave a comment

We’re back for 2025! And we have to start the year with our annual predictions special!

Obviously we had to make sure that Dave would be on this episode, mainly to check if he still thinks that Jenna Prandini will become world champion this year.

We’ve all picked some prediction for what will happen during the indoor season, outdoor season and the World Championships in Tokyo. Some of these predictions are a bit out there!

Plus, we’ll update some of the latest coaching changes, London Marathon announcements and talk through the year ahead.

Feel free to leave a comment with any of your own predictions!

Episode 59: The Unbolievable, Kerr-ific & Impending Doom (Glasgow 2024 WIC Review)

~ 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!

Episode 58: Small Team, Big Dreams (Glasgow 2024 WIC Preview)

~ trackcastic ~ Leave a comment

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!
