This week, Kenya’s world record holder and 3-time Olympic gold medallist Faith Kipyegon will attempt to make history in Paris by becoming the first woman to break the four minute mile - but is it physically achievable? Dr Mark Burnley, senior lecturer in exercise physiology at Loughborough University, breaks it down, while Commonwealth 10,000m champion Eilish McColgan and 2022 world 1500m champion Jake Wightman give their opinions.


Fresh from returning from commentary in Paris, Hannah looks back at a Diamond League meeting to remember, we preview the European Athletics Team Championships and what’s going on with Turkey’s recruitment drive?


Presented by athletics commentators Hannah England, Rich Newman and Katie Smith.
