Easy Double podcast

Episode 82 is here and the inaugural World Ultimate Championships delivered.

The boys break down a massive three days of racing in Budapest, with huge prize money, stacked fields and some of the best championship-style racing we’ve seen all year.

👑 Jakob is back — Jakob Ingebrigtsen takes down a loaded 5000m field, closing in 12.6 for the final 100m to beat Cole Hocker and an army of Americans. We discuss how the race played out, why none of us picked him and whether we underestimated just how dangerous Jakob remains over 5K.
💰 World Ultimate Championships — Claudia Kazimierska continues an incredible end to the season, Audrey Werro takes another huge 800m win, Gudaf Tsegay’s rivals are caught sleeping in the women’s 5000m and the men’s 800m produces another chaotic finish. We also give our verdict on the new championship format, the enormous prize money, qualification system and whether World Athletics has finally landed on something that works.
🇦🇺 Cam Myers hypothetical season continues — after his incredible end to the year, we ask whether Cam could have mixed it with Jakob and Hocker in that 5000m final.
🗽 Fifth Avenue Mile — Marco Langon takes a huge win in New York in 3:45, Adam Spencer lands on the podium and Gemma Reekie flies to a course record in the women’s race.
🚴 70.3 World Championships — Dean takes us briefly into the dark side as the Norwegian Method boys Christian Blummenfelt and Gustav Iden feature in another ridiculous triathlon battle.
🇮🇪 Irish racing — Eoin takes us through Ratoath and Charleville Half Marathons as Dublin Marathon preparations begin to get serious, including an impressive first half marathon from Road to Dublin’s Bri.
🇬🇧 Great North Run — one of the biggest half marathons in the world delivers another deep field, with plenty of familiar names further down the results.

Plus Ryan moves approximately 200 metres across East Perth, wheels a wine fridge down the street while carrying cycling shoes, Dean discovers every recovery contraption known to man, Eoin destroys himself doing sprint drills, and the usual Easy Double fact-checking goes about as well as expected.

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.
