Episode 10 is here, an Olympic special featuring Ross Murray, download on all platforms, link is here - https://linktr.ee/insidejoggingpodcast

 

Big episode coming your way as we chat to Ross Murray about his 2012 Olympic experience and get some insight into what it will be like for the athletes in Tokyo. Athletics kicks off on Friday, so make sure you get those distance events in your diary.

 

Another week, another win for Matthew Clowes as he takes the W at Helena Tipping 10k in Wrexham. He talks us through his hate for footpaths, and ponders why there are naked people in fields at 6:30 in the morning...

 

Josh Lunn has been nursing his achilles/calf/foot/leg/body injury, but seems to be on the mend. He's been at a wedding this week and shocks the boys with his evening wear attire.

 

While Aaron has decided against London and is busy trying to source an alternative marathon this Autumn. Valencia seemed the best bet, but that's proving difficult, so if anyone fancies helping him find a marathon then send us a DM!

 

Parkrun is back, we answer some listener questions and round up the results. Thanks for downloading people, keep sharing the pod, and as always have an average week!

Episode 9 is here, download on all platforms, link is here - https://linktr.ee/insidejoggingpodcast

 

Shorter show heading your way this week, as the interview I have lined up is still pending. Quieter week in terms of results, but there's action on the roads to catch up with and we discuss the Soar MK 5k PB special. It turns out there was an England champs on the track too this weekend, not that any of us (or a lot of athletes) knew about it! The boys discuss all things running and meteorology, which according to Josh and Clowesy is the study of Meteors...

 

Josh Lunn is not best pleased about reporting for co-hosting duties a few hours earlier than scheduled, and being pulled out of one of his Gameboy games. His achilles seems to be on the mend, but his HR got very elevated on Sunday, maybe because it's well hot... might be too hot... might be.

 

Matthew Clowes is back taking W's on the local road racing scene, with a hilly victory at the Nick Beer 10k in Llandudno (no-one on the pod is pronouncing it correctly, so apologies real Welsh people). His build up to Berlin is getting serious, but his build up to raspberry season might be reaching a peak too.

 

Aaron Scott has had it with social media, and can't get his head around the toxicity on some of these platforms these days. He's had a big weekend of training to make up for some of the rubbish days during the week and is busy doing lateral flow tests, to check he's not contracted COVID during any sessions this week. Just to note, Inside Jogging Podcast is part of a government pilot scheme, where by the hosts don't need to self isolate, and can test themselves every day instead.

 

Don't be shy, send us in your comments, feedback and reviews and we might give you a shout out on a future show. In the mean time, have an average week and we will be back next Monday. The next one will *definitely/maybe* include an interview, so stay tune for next week.

Episode 8 is here, download on all platforms, link is here - https://linktr.ee/insidejoggingpodcast

 

With my day ruined yesterday by penalties on Sunday, we recorded a day later than usual. Big week in British running as Bird & Muir set records in Monaco, the U23’s were in action at the Euro Championships in Tallinn and 10000m English champs are crowned at FastFriday (which Josh Lunn was absent from). Huge week in English football too, but I’m not prepared to talk about yet.

Josh Lunn professionally announced his injury for the fans on Instagram, and was a DNS for Fast Friday 10,000m (another DNS for the Inside Jogging Podcast team...). He's been busy not running, but we don't think he's entirely sure that he knows what his achilles is. He's also not the happiest this week, so its a cheery show for you all!

Matthew Clowes kicked off his week with a 4:45am run, and has been out on his travels again. Only one brief hotel review this week, but has a nice downhill tempo and a beautifully consistent long run session to talk about. He's happier than the other two, and talks us through a work morning that involves decapitated heads.

 

Aaron Scott is depressed, but tries to put on a brave face, after all it's only another 55 years to wait until the next one. He has had an up and down week, but finished it off with a half decent tempo on Friday and a solid long run with the boys on Sunday. He's not happy about the UK footpath scene, and is considering writing into the local councils with his complaints.

 

Don't be shy, send us in your comments, feedback and reviews and we might give you a shout out on a future show. In the mean time, have an average week and we will be back on track with a show next Monday. The next one will include a big interview, as we finally get our lives back on track and organise this thing!

Episode 7 is here, download on all platforms, link is here - https://linktr.ee/insidejoggingpodcast

 

A quieter week in terms of results this week, but the Olympic Team is out and British Athletics couldn't resist being controversial, leaving out Mark Pearce depsite making the cut based on the rankings.

 

Matthew Clowes is back being the big dog (even if he misses the first 5 mins of the show), with three quality sessions banked last week. No tractors were in his way on his Friday tempo, and he knocked out 8 miles under 5 min pace. No hotel reviews neither, and he's not entirely sure whether Wrexham is in the West...

 

Josh Lunn has been doing track sessions while England play Germany, much to Aaron's annoyance. His week is cut short by an achilles niggle, maybe he shouldn't be pushing the pace targets Clowesy has been giving him. He's also Pfizered out, and wants some sympathy, which none of us are willing to give him.

 

Aaron Scott is on the road to recovery, but lost a lot of sleep time this weekend looking for his cat, and celebrating England's victory in the pub. He has been causing a stir on Strava with some generous GPS, but promises from next week the cricket pitch sessions will be no more. 

 

Keep sending us your comments (positive only), and pass the pod far and wide. We hope you have an average week, it's coming home!

Episode 6 is here, download on all platforms, link is here - https://linktr.ee/insidejoggingpodcast

 

Another big show coming your way this week, we’ve got an interview with Sapporo-bound Kevin Seaward, alongside his coach Andy Hobdell, where we talk in depth about the marathon build up and key sessions along the way. It's a cracking interview so you can always skip our terrible chat and go straight to this instead!

 

I don’t blame it if you missed it, considering how terrible our governing body is at marketing the sport, but the British Olympic trials have been on this weekend and we round up the winners and losers on what has been a huge weekend for British athletes.

 

Matthew Clowes has been given the all clear by the doc, and is back on track for Berlin. He's spent the week at home for once, and has been dodging tractors on tempo runs.

 

Josh Lunn manages to get to the show on time for once, but his new hair is questionable to say the least. We get some valuable insight into his reasoning behind the look, as well as hearing why he's spent the day at work doing litter picking around Cardiff.

 

Aaron Scott is now taking any pills he can get his hands on to resolve his low iron issues. He talks about his big fat DNF in Leeds, and his plans to take it easy for a few weeks.

 

What you waiting for, listen in. We hope you have an average week, guys.

Big show this week as we look ahead to the British Trials in Manchester, with the expert help of world record course organiser, Chris Barnes.

 

We discuss the latest domestic running news as Jamie Webb and Elliot Giles run 800m PB’s in Poland. We also go Stateside to discuss the American trials in the week which saw Shelby Houlihan receive a four year doping ban for eating a burrito.

 

Matthew Clowes comes up with a new feature this week (Tripadvisor would argue it's been thought of though), as he rates his hotel stays this week. He looks like he is on the mend, so that's good news as he declares he's building for Berlin marathon.

 

Josh Lunn is late to the pod once again, and spends the first half an hour trying to connect to the call. He's hyped up after a good week of training, but has he been going too hard too soon?

 

Aaron Scott is still suffering from hayfever as he builds up to Leeds 10'000m next Thursday. He's also celebrating Father's Day for the first time, not that any of the other two care.

 

Adam Bull tops our Strava leaderboard this week with 106 miles out there in your boys neighbourhood - 100+ in group now. 

Listener Questions 10 mins

Go to session for the week of a race and when would you do it?

If you race 10k on Sunday and planned a 5k the following Friday would you easy run to the 5k, or do some sort of session in between?

I’m someone who loses fitness mega quick and takes ages to get it back, so intrigued how people get through racing blocks and get the balance right.

DAVE ARCHER

At the start of a marathon block, how caught up should you be on your ability to run MP. Say for example should running 10k at MP at marathon pace be achievable 10 weeks out? At what point in theblock do you look at the paces you’re achieving in sessions and hone in on a realistic target race pace.

MICHAEL CHANNING-PHILLIPS

What’s your marathon race day nutrition?

Eliott Hind

My last 3 marathons are 2:42 2:42 2:41 Consistency or plateau ???? Any tips on breaking a plateau and have you 3 been through it. Cheers boys, love the show.

JAY FALLAIZE

News 

US Trials - Shelby Houlihan.

My thoughts, surely you’d be more careful. If she ate Offal then surely you’d know after one bite. Whether guilty or not, why have so many athletes come out in full defence of her, how could you possibly 100% guarantee your friend isn’t doping?

Chris Barnes Interview

Another huge week in British distance running, Oliver Dustin is looking v.nicey (copyright Lucian Allison) in Nice, Dever wins the NCAA title, and Butchart sets a BMC record.Matthew Clowes been here there and everywhere (Thinks he's Will Smith from Seven Pounds), but hopefully has a plan to recovery after seeing the doc.Josh Lunn is back at peak levels of excitement following a couple of half decent sessions. If anyone wants to take over our WhatsApp chat for us then feel free, as myself and Matt don't have the time to respond to his incessant messaging.While Aaron Scott bagged his podcast head-to-head win if he simply toes the line in Leeds. He's been suffering with hayfever, and generally feeling pretty tired thanks to Dad life.No interview this week, but we will try to go in depth into a couple of listener questions, and we will be back with a big interview next week. Have a distinctly average week people, and enjoy the pod.

NCAAs

The week started in an exciting way when Patrick Dever won the NCAA 10,000m final in Eugene with a stunning performance. Six athletes were still in the running with 200m to go but Patrick Dever absolutely smashed the last 50 meters to finish in a winning time of 27:41.87. That puts him 15th all time in Britain and is a huge 46 seconds faster than his existing PB.

Charles Hicks placed seventh and another big PB of 27:47.63 breaking Dave Bedfords British teen-best of 28:24.4 which was set in 1969. Poppy Tank made sure it wasn’t just the gents setting new bests, as she ran 32:50.57 for ninth in her 10000m final.

Meeting International de Nice 

Revee Walcott-Nolan ran a PB of 4:06.28 to place second in the 1500m and in the mens 1500m George Mills was seventh in 3:37.00. Earlier in the week Mills had been at the WA Continental Tour Bronze meet in Prague and ran a 3:36.42 for fourth place.

Eilish McColgan was racing again, running herself a 5,000m second place finish in a time of 14:55.79. She now has the Olympic qualifying time for 1500, 5000 and 10,000!

In the men’s 5000m it was great to see Jonny Davies clocking a fine 13:21.56, a performance hat has gone under the radar a bit this week but which was a near 10 second PB for the former European u/23 XC Champion.

Mark Pearce was in action in the chase running a big PB of 8:25.43, another athlete coached by Luke Gunn delivering top results.

In shorter news but absolutely the jaw-dropping moment of the week was Oliver Dustin’s (Border AC) performance of 1:43.82 over 800m which secured him the title of European U20 champion and 6th place on the UK all time list.

Issey Boffey was in action in the women’s 800m running 2:05.53.

Meeting Pro Athlé Tour de Marseille

Charlie De-vall Grice cut down his distance to 800 where he clocked 1:45.63.

At the same meet, Elliot Giles went the other way and ran the 1500 where he was 2nd in 3:33.80, Piers Copeland ran 3:34.62 which is his first OT, Jake Heyward continued his fine form with 3:34.63 also with George Mills running 3:36.

Butchart breaks BMC best

Andy Butchart put in a strong contender for performance of the night, setting a BMC record over 3000m to win his race in 7:43.57, beating Jack Rowe’s PB run of 7:49.71

The men’s 5000m was PBs all the way for the podium placers – it was won by U23 Isaac Akers in 13:47.31, followed by Ellis Cross in 13:50.53 and Daniel Jarvis in 13:55.02. In the B race there was a breakthrough performance from welshman Osian Perrin who was first in the u20 5000m in 13:53.20 and set a new Welsh junior record.

The women’s 5000m had a strong lineup of new and very experienced talent, including one Jo Pavey who took to the track for the first time in three years. With Euro u/23 places up for grabs youth won out here too though with the U23s claiming the top three spots and new PBs in the process thanks to Izzy Fry with 15:49.25, Charlotte Dannatt with 16:06.70 and Naomi Land in 16:09.13.

 

On the roads, The City of Norwich Half Marathon was back with Natasha Cockram winning in 1

A massive week in British distance running with the Olympic 10000m trials and we've got Tokyo-bound, Marc Scott, on to talk us through his race.

Matt has been gracing the trials with his presence in the B race.

Josh is hitting the miles, and worried about a hot air balloon ride.

Aaron is also racking up the miles, whilst moaning about pussies who use the treadmill when it's only 22 degrees outside.

The British Olympic 10,000m trials were exciting, with Eilish and Jess booking their tickets in the women's race, and Marc Scott securing his spot in the Men's.

 

Women’s A - 31:25 standard / Top 2 with standard

Eilish McColgan 31:19.35 OGQ  (30:58 in Feb already had time)

Jess Judd 31:20.96 OGQ

Verity Ockenden 31:43.70 Commies Q England (32:15)

Amy Eloise Markovic 32:04.38 Commies Q England (32:15)

Charlotte Arter 32:17.40 Commies Q Wales (32:30)

Is their time for anyone else to get the standard?

 

Men’s A - 27:28 standard / Top 2 with standard

Marc Scott 27:49.94 OGQ (27:10 in Feb in USA)

Mo Farah 27:50.64 (has until 27th June to run a time now)

Emile Cairess 27:53.19 Commies Q England (28:00)

Sam Atkin has run 27:26 earlier in the year, will he go?

 

Positives - stream good, live splits from open track, Tom Gayle back on stream

Negatives - confusion around how people auto qualified, Sky Sports News reporting of the result last night - so many mistakes!

 

Elsewhere, Josh Kerr ran the fastest ever 1500m on American soil and Sifan Hassan just running a world record of 29:06.82 a couple of hours ago.

 

Response to pod has been incredible, I think we even overtook marathon talk in the apple charts at one point in the last week. Keep sending us your feedback on a stamped address envelope, and we will maybe take it in. Join us on insta, strava and facebook, and please review us on iTunes.

TOM RAWLES had some feedback for us.

"One feature I'd love is a mention of how to view/stream upcoming UK events. As an outsider I find it really hard to find out ahead of time about races and where to watch them."

Follow us on insta, and we will try and share any events and streams we know of, to allow people to watch the best we have on offer.

Episode 2 is in the books (day late as Aaron has been sunning himself in Suffolk). Slight change to the plan, with @jennynesbitt1 stepping in last minute for a chat, after our planned interviewee fell ill. We discuss some terrible performances by @josh_lunn and @aaronscottruns, plus check in with @mattclowesy to see if his heart is on the mend. There’s the usual results & news roundup, which still needs work, but least we got most of the names right this week, and we answer a couple of listener questions. Please send us any feedback and we hope you all have an average week.

We're basically, jumping on back (copying) our idols at Inside Running Podcast in Australia. First weekly running pod with @mattclowesy (2:13), @aaronscottruns (2:16) and @josh_lunn (2:17). Talking training and interviewing big names on the UK scene.

There’s worrying news from North Wales were @mattclowesy needs some advice from any cardiologists out there. @aaronscottruns has a moan about footpaths that lead nowhere and @josh_lunn still hadn’t done his Sunday long run, despite it being 7pm at the time recording ended. We’ve got some listener questions and a little interview with @jakeliamsmith98 to kick the pod off. All feedback welcome, whether we take the feedback on board is another question though.
