If people like Philipo are going to hark back to the past, they really need to have some historical perspective. When since the 80s have we had this...

I believe Osagie works full-time in the city now. We see him training on his own after 8pm on weeknights at the St Mary's track - that can't be optimal....

I really enjoy Salazar's interviews about Hassan. He's not an attractive character but say what you like about him, he has genuine affection for his...

I'm ready to back your election campaign, RU!!
I think there is an opportunity to capitalise on World Athletics' stupid decision to take 5000s out...

No justification for keeping this as a two day meeting. Really poor value for money.

Saturday clashes with the YDL fixtures, so all the...

The House of Run podcast described Cheruiyot as the worlds fastest crab walker...

Fair comment, LS! But my hunch is that even if the race unfolds just like in London, there'll be someone who can do to him what Manangoi did. There...

Yes - quite a turnaround from the man who a week earlier was a 27:40 from Nick Goolab.

I thought Charlie Boy would run well, but to get the Phoenix AC club record exceeded expectations!...

Laura Muir's 3:55 is for me the most underrated performance in British athletics history. Name an athlete above her on the world all-time list who can...

[Sovietvest]

The 8:26 converts to 3:58.0 and 4:16.0 for 1500 / mile and 14:30 for 5000. I think we can assume 3000 is her best distance (much as I'd love to see her...

They used to say that about Rieti and Jack Buckner reported they almost used the wrong starting line for a 1500 in 1984 (he pondered whether that line...

Josh Kerr no longer entered. It seems the vast majority of US MD athletes are staying at home, presumably their be ready for the Trials in 2 weeks. ...

I was hoping for a 3:31 from him in Monaco but surely jet lag will affect him, even if he travels today from California and arrives tomorrow morning?...

[Sovietvest]

Er, yeah, sorry about that....

I'm with Laps. I'd be surprised if, after running 3:34 in his first race after a long lay off, Wightman didn't run 3:32 this year. Maybe 3:31 in the...

Fully agree with all your comments, RunUnlimited. I do think however, that whenever a nation develops strength in depth, one or two emerge from the pack...

Jacob was sensational. Imagine being Filip, breaking 3:31 again and not even being the best in your own family. Both are serious contenders for world...

We've got some good strength in depth at 800 currently. Six under 1:46 already this year; 13 under 1:47. I'd love to know how that compares to our best...

I'm a big fan of Eilish. I just wish she wouldn't spend so much time - even in fast races - in lane 2. I think 3000m is her best distance. I don't see...
