The Stablemaster Speaks - The Art of the Marathon

In this episode, we look at my super powers and how to get a new runner from a 4hr marathon down to 3hrs in one year.

To kick-off the new season we start with Talent part two. We look at what talent is and why you don't need talent to run a good marathon.

We also announce the two winners of the super shoe competition.

In this episode we examine what is and is not talent - with case studies. We use science to prove that the majority of running science is wrong, and that the art of coaching is the way to make the big gains - as evidenced in Stazza's Stable.

In this episode we look at Boris incredible improvement from 1:42 - 1:19 over the HM in 11 months.

But it's much more than that: his story in incredible. There's murder, mayhem, and magic...

In this, the final episode of the Making an Olympian, we look at Aoife's Olympic build up, altitude and heat raining, the race, and what happened after...

In this episode, we look at Aoife's Cooke's training block for Olympic qualification.

To kick-off the new season, a firecracker episode all about doping: Ruth's 'WR', Aoife Cooke (did she dope? And the big question to me from the world's best running journo); is Kipchoge clean (and all about his age); are Conner and Clayton clean? Was Paula clean? Omertà in Kenya!.The BS around Kenyans walking to school compared to the youth of Utah and everywhere in the West! The solution to the fiasco that is athletics.

In this episode we look at Aoife's build-up to the 2020 Vienna marathon, including her six-week stint at altitude in Iten, Kenya.

In part 1 of The Aoife Cooke Story, we examine how she made the leap from plateaued club runner to Irish national marathon champion in just 10 months (from 2:46 - 2:32).

This is a detailed analysis of how a struggling club runner is lifted from the mire of mediocrity to the glory and limelight of national stardom.

We look at Paul Griffiths' journey to running sub 3 and how and why he became a coach.
