Easy Double podcast

The Diamond League Final in Brussels was not without any drama.
Cam Myers takes arguably the biggest win of his career in a stacked 1500m final, outkicking some of the biggest names in the world — before Jakob Ingebrigtsen lets rip post-race and labels his rivals “cowards”. We break down the race, the pacing controversy and the fallout that followed.
Elsewhere, Emmanuel Wanyonyi continues his dominance over 800m, the women’s 5000m produces some seriously quick Australian performances, Jess Hull adds another 3:54 to the collection, and Femke Bol’s reported 4:20/km threshold pace leaves us questioning everything we know about running.
Away from Brussels, the Australian road mile record goes down in Germany, Clayton Young publicly announces his plan to attack the American marathon record in Chicago, and two more athletes find themselves on the wrong side of anti-doping.
And to finish, Double Trouble returns. Record ratification gets a well-deserved grilling before Ryan ventures into considerably more dangerous territory with a take that might have him checking the Instagram comments with one eye closed…
Enjoy!

Welcome to the second episode of our bi-weekly series, The Road To Dublin, where we follow three athletes building toward the Dublin Marathon on October 25th.
They're deep in their training blocks now and all gearing up for their mid-block half marathons. We chat all things nutrition, race shoes, training strategy, and what it takes to peak on race day.
Please meet:
Bri McGhee, a final-year dietetics student running her very first marathon.
David Troy, the national 10k champion, gearing up for only his second time over the 42.2km distance.
Will Boyle, an Asics frontrunner coming off an injury that ruled him out of London, now looking ahead to an exciting Dublin build.
Follow along as these three chase very different dreams on the same course.... it's going to be something special.

The Easy Double lads are back in what was another massive week in athletics, and they're here to break it down for you.
We had the Sydney Marathon🦘, in its second year as a World Marathon Major, and the East Africans asserted their dominance over the 42.2km.
Across Europe there was the Zurich Diamond League and big meets in Switzerland, Germany, and Italy.
Perth's City2Surf happened...
And finally, in the French mountains, UTMB Mont Blanc highlighted ultra and trail running as the best in the world battled over 10,000m of elevation across hours and hours of running.
The lads cover the latest running news 📰, Double TroubleTrouble👊, and YouTube diaries 📺 in what is a jam-packed episode.

Eoin's Irish debut: 14:01 in Antrim, a HALF MARATHON WORLD RECORD & Diamond League madness
It's a huge episode of Easy Double this week as Eoin returns from the Antrim Coast 5K after pulling on the Irish vest for the first time—and delivering a massive performance.
We get the full story behind his 14:01 run, from the build-up and race-day routine to mixing it with an international field, closing in 2:43 for the final kilometre and then immediately being whisked away for his first-ever doping control.

We break down all of that and plenty more from another massive week in the running world, including:
🇮🇪 Eoin's Irish debut — the emotions of representing Ireland, how the race unfolded and just how close he came to breaking 14 minutes.

🧪 Inside doping control — Eoin reveals exactly what happened after being selected for testing immediately after the finish.

🥤 Bicarb, beetroot, Nomio & caffeine — Eoin talks through his complete pre-race protocol and we discuss how much difference the "one percenters" actually make.

🌍 A ridiculous new half marathon world record — Yomif Kejelcha runs an astonishing 56:51 in Argentina, including a largely solo second half and a negative split.

💎 Diamond League action from Lausanne & Silesia — Femke Bol's incredible transition to the 800m continues, Emmanuel Wanyonyi delivers again and the world's best distance runners battle it out as the season reaches its business end.

🇦🇺 Australian National Cross Country Championships — we break down the brutal conditions, the standout performances and the athletes who impressed us most.

👶 Plus, we try to put an incredible 17:49 5K from a 10-year-old listener's son into some kind of context.

It's a long one—but there was simply too much happening in the running world to leave anything out.
