The TRACKSTAA Podcast

Rich Morrell and Lucy Jones sit down to unpack an absolutely wild weekend of athletics, starting with the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix, where records were falling left, right, and centre.

They get into Josh Hoy’s ridiculous indoor 800m world record, how it actually played out, and why it felt inevitable once the pace wound up. There’s also plenty of love for Hobbs Kessler, whose calm, metronomic run to a 2000m world record had everyone watching in disbelief. Add in Jake Wightman breaking the British indoor record, and it’s a reminder of just how deep and competitive middle-distance running is right now.

On the women’s side, the chat turns to a stacked 3000m, with standout runs from Elle St. Pierre and Linden Hall, plus a wider look at the young athletes starting to mix it with the established names. Rich and Lucy also talk through why athletes like Izzy Boffey and Ellie Baker are becoming serious players in the women’s 800m.

To wrap things up, attention shifts to the London Marathon, with a proper look at the loaded elite fields and why the hype is more than justified this year. With records being broken, careers taking off, and races delivering every weekend, this episode captures why track and field is in such a good place right now.
