It was an absolute pleasure to have two-time Olympian Jill Boltz on the Sportlink podcast this week.

Jill was a Commonwealth Games silver medallist as well as a world record holder for 10 miles and 25K - she is also a one of the most humble athletes that you’re likely to meet.

We talk to Jill about the achievements in her running career, her regrets about turning professional and what she is doing now coaching youngsters in the Pace Project in Cairns, Australia.

This week also sees the debut of the Sportlink podcast’s latest signing… John Downes.

John is a former guest on the show and will now be one of our guest hosts along with Neil Featherby going forward.

We just need to make sure he’s got more make-up for next time after being called out for wearing a bit too much Max Factor by Jill.
