Is Callum Hawkins still running?

11/18/23 • 46 min

I'm delighted to welcome double Olympian and two-time 4th place World Championship finisher Callum Hawkins both to the podcast and into our long-standing scheme to invest in underfunded British elite marathon runners.

This episode could easily be the 5th episode of our 2022 mini series which explored how hard being a marathoner is through the eyes and experiences of elite athletes as Callum (as has his brother Derek) has had a rough ride during and since the pandemic. We explore what has happened and where Callum is on his own personal comeback trail.

I hope you enjoy it, and if you do, please feel free to share it.

Thanks a lot

Women in Sport: Part 5

And we have reached the end, the last part of our 5 part mini series into Women in Sport. As evidenced by the Lionesses march to the World Cup final, it feels like we are at a moment in time in which the way women's sport is watched and played is changing rapidly, this series has explored what is happening right now in women's sport, and what more needs to be done to bridge the equality gap, looking at it mainly through the eyes and experiences of women in running.

This final episode is a very rich conversation with the incredible Katrin Flikschuh about her experiences of running as a means to beat an eating disorder and improve her mental health in the 1980s to competing at a high level in cross-country and marathons in the present day. It is a great conversation in it's own right, but it also a great way to complete this series (for now) as it summarises many of the themes and further questions we have covered in the previous 4 episodes.

I hope you enjoy this one and the whole series as much as I have, I suspect there will be much more on this subject to come in the future, thanks so much for listening.

And if there is one episode to share, this is it....
