'He's got a sprinting library. In his house,' Asha Philip asserts from the physio table, as she receives treatment at the end of a long day's training. 'A bag of books,' adds Seye Ogunlewe, sat alongside. You'll have to listen to this episode to find out whether or not Steve Fudge actually owns a collection of speedy tomes, but - either way - his knowledge of the sport is certainly encyclopaedic. His meticulous mechanical coaching is matched only by his intuitive management of each of the athletes within Fudge Project London, where Claire was lucky enough to spend the day. In Loughborough, Fudge worked with Dasaolu, Gemili, Peacock, and Baptiste (amongst others), before moving to London to set up his Fudge Project, where he currently coaches Asha, Seye, Ojie Edoburun, and Imani Lanisquot. It's fair to say that this quartet have the personalities to match their talent, and we gave up trimming it all down into a normal-length episode, so here's a two-hour exploration of one of the most exciting training groups around. A big thanks to Coach Steve, Osteopath Rob, and all four athletes for their time and insights. Oh - and to you for listening. Let us know your thoughts, won't you? @Claire_GThomas & @BackstraightB
