Newly elected AV Committee member Kim Mulhall joins Sean and Tim for an extensive conversation covering the many aspects of her involvement in athletics. With twenty-one Victorian State titles to her name, together with a string of National tiles in both Senior and Junior ranks, Kim's experience from grassroots athletics through to international competition enables her to speak with authority on so many issues. As head coach of the Caulfield Grammar athletic program, Kim discusses both the barriers and opportunities that present when working within the school system and broader athletic community, an area of expertise Kim hopes will assist Athletics Victoria to develop sustainable strategies as we emerge from the COVID period. In a candid discussion of her own athletic career, Kim reveals for the first time the story of her PB Discus performance in the US and the question mark that this throw still has surrounding it. In the second of our series focusing on the many and varied clubs that make up our state association, Bryan Cake from the Traralgon Harriers provides a wonderful insight into the club and the characters that have played an important role in the LaTrobe Valley and greater Gippsland region for many decades. With a wonderful history of community involvement and early recognition of the 'recreational running' boom, the Traralgon Harriers in the traditional black uniform have been a mainstay of our XCR competition, whilst still providing track and field and recreational opportunities for their members.

In Episode 45 we've reached out to a number of people involved across the spectrum of athletics... athletes, a coach, a health professional and sports administrator to gauge the impact of COVID-19 and in particular life under Stage 4 restrictions. As expected this hasn't been easy for any of us, but the resounding theme through the interviews is one of hope, positivity, and resilience. Whether it's been a change to your ability to access facilities, see your coach & squad or even in one case totally changing the way you do business, the lessons and experiences we'll take away from 2020 will be ongoing and continue to impact our lives and sport for years to come, if not permanently. Our thanks to Catherine Mendes, Peter Benifer, Ella Hose, Craig Wallace, Alice Baquie and Matt Rizzo for sharing their stories and opening up about the impacts on their personal, professional, and sporting lives. Each story is unique in its own way, but the common message around adjusting to restrictions and just getting on with it, typifies the response that will hopefully see Victoria emerge from this phase in the coming weeks. Sean and Tim also wrap the podcast with some of the international news and the positive moves Athletics Victoria is taking to keep athletes, coaches, officials, and athletics fans engaged. If you'd like to follow some of our guests to keep up with what they are doing, here's some Instagram handles: Catherine Mendes - @cat_mendes_ Peter Benifer - @pbssquad Alice Baquie - @alicebaquie Matt Rizzo - @matt.rizzo And for anyone that wants to try a free online Pilates class with Alice Baquie go to: https://programs.alicebaquie.com.au/courses/pilates-at-home-free-session Also here is a link to her website https://programs.alicebaquie.com.au/bundles/pilates-home-online-access

Hammer throwing super couple Alexandra Hulley and Ned Weatherly join Down the Track for a great discussion on what is often a forgotten event in athletics. Tracking through their international and domestic careers, Alex and Ned speak with passion about one of the more technical disciplines, which although may not share the limelight with track events, certainly doesn’t lack the drama, talent and the characters who make for exciting competition when they step into the ring. And although they have different personalities we get to hear what drives each of them in their quests to make their marks in the sport and how life in general is moving along for them personally and professionally in a changed world. We also catch up with Dr. Alice McNamara to get a first-hand account of life on the COVID-19 frontline. A practising Sports Medicine Doctor, Alice is also manning testing stations several days a week as part of the concerted effort to bring the virus under control. Her insight into the impact the virus is having, together with some clear explanation of close contacts and the need for isolation may fill in the gaps of what you need to know about the current situation in Victoria. And did we mention Alice is a two time World Champion as a representative rower for Australia, seven-time winner of the Eureka Tower stair climb and also a winner of the Empire State stair climb in New York? A fascinating conversation that covers some vital issues we all now face. Another interesting episode of Down the Track as the restrictions ramp up once again.

In Episode 43 Sean and Tim have an in-depth conversation with Stu Macaulay. For over 20 years Stu has been a fixture within the Athletics Victoria community as an Athlete, Coach, Administrator, Team Manager, and State Selector – roles which he has brought passion and commitment to. In a broad-ranging conversation, Stu details his background both in a sporting and professional context, plus his motivation for doing what he does. As a man who has impacted the lives of many others, we also hear from Western Athletics members Claire Hodgart, Nardine Bainbridge, Phil Dunstone, and Adrian Jeffkins on their experiences with Stu and the influence he's had on each of them personally and the club that they all call home. So to fill in the blanks about a person who has contributed so much to our sport, have a listen to the first episode in our "People in Athletics" series and get to know Stu Macaulay.

In a special episode of DTT we welcome Athletics Victoria CEO Glenn Turnor to give an update on where we are with the planning for a return to competition. With a lot of speculation circulating, particularly given the return of NRL and AFL, Glenn details the discussions and negotiations the sport of athletics has been involved in at both the state and national level. So if you want the real story behind the return to play planning for athletics listen in to Episode 40 of Down the Track.

In this episode I firstly detail my last 2.5 weeks of my Canberra 50km preparation, as race day gets closer. Then I had the privilege to interview Lisa Verstraten, not only a lovely person but a highly credentialed distance running coach from Geelong of the past 20yrs. She was the formative coach of Isaac Hockey and Lachlan Barber! She has been the team coach on numerous Australian athletic and cross country teams! She also currently works in a coaching development role with Athletics Victoria. Lisa has so many pearls of wisdom when it comes to knowing how to coach the athlete in front of you. This one is a must listen for all running coaches out there! Thanks once again Lisa!

Dual Australian record holder Linden Hall joins Sean and Tim for another big episode of Down the Track. October 9th is now officially Peter Norman day, and a big collection of dignitaries, athletics royalty and Peter’s family gathered at Lakeside Stadium for the unveiling of his statue which stands proudly outside Gate 1. DTT caught up with Peter’s daughter Janita and we discuss the legacy of the man and change in attitudes over time that now see him as a figure globally honoured and respected. It was with sadness that our sport recently lost John Higham. A multiple Australian champion, Commonwealth Games medallist and active administrator at local, state and national level, John was a large figure in the sport of athletics and will be greatly missed. Recently returned from her campaign that culminated in the World Championship 1500m in Doha, Linden Hall chats about her season and provides great insight into the ups and downs of life on the athletic circuit. After a busy few weeks that included a number of high profile events, there were certainly plenty of results to chew over. Domestically the Melbourne Marathon went to a new level setting an Australian record for marathon participation, with the Half Marathon, 10km and 5km also being sell out events. On the same weekend Chicago played host to Brigid Kosgei’s world best in the marathon, taking a sizeable chunk off Paula Radcliffe’s previous world best set in 2003. The INEOS Breaking 2 project attracted worldwide attention and conversation around this, Kosgei’s record, shoe technology and some wash up from the Nike Oregon Project form the basis of our hot topics. AVSL is now three rounds down so we look into the ladders and highlight some individual performances of note. For all the latest in the world of Athletics Victoria, tune in to Down the Track.

Tim and Sean are back for another riveting episode of Down the Track. The in-studio guest is Maxine Paholek, back in Australia on break from Boise State University where as a Freshman she established herself as a key member of the Bronco’s NCAA Cross Country and Track squads. Maxine provides great insight into her experience so far in the NCAA system, and adapting to life in general as a US College student. With some great performances over the cross country season then recording a substantial PB in her specialist track event the 3000m Steeple, Maxine talks us through how she approached each season and the usual highs and lows along the way. In international news the Australian performances in Europe continue with Ninove (Belgium) and Bern (Switzerland) playing hos to a number of Australians including Ryan & Genevieve Gregson, Michelle Jenneke, James Hansen and Nick Hough. Heidi See popped out a 4:33 mile in the USA, while Georgia Winkcup continued her strong progression in the steeple with a World Championship qualifier in Birmingham. Domestically we had the Australian Half Marathon Championship on the Sunshine Coast with Lisa Weightman highlighting the stellar field to collect a $25,000 bonus by running the fastest Half Marathon on Australian soil. An unfortunate directional error by the officials lead to Jack Rayner being DQ’d, allowing Kevin Batt to claim the Australian title. The world’s biggest timed fun run, Sydney’s City to Surf, saw Victorian based Harry Summers almost claim Steve Moneghetti’s long standing race record, falling just 2sec shy of the mark. South Australian Tara Palm continued on from her impressive Run at Adelaide’s Fitzy’s 5 to claim the women’s title in the Harbour City. Athletics Victoria’s General Manager of Sport Delivery, Ross Cunningham, joins the Podcast to talk about the upcoming Summer season. With some new initiatives, including the introduction of the Athletics Victoria Shield League, Ross details what participants can expect from the new season. With Sally Pearson announcing her retirement, the team examine her legacy to the sport and potential gaps that may now appear within the Australian team environment at the major championships. In a recurring hot topic, more issues have been raised about Nike shoe technology, this time the spikes used by Sifan Hassan to break the World Mile record. With the Australian Cross Country Championship not far away, Sean and Tim review the main contenders based on who they believe to be running and assess Victoria’s chances to win the women’s and men’s team titles. The world of athletics never stops!

After successfully navigating the highways and byways of continental Europe, a tanned but not so fit Sean Whipp re-joins the Down the Track team for Episode 22. Joining Sean and Tim in the DTT hot seat is Hamish Beaumont – a man who needs no introduction. The episode kicks off with Sean enlightening us on his European tour as an athlete manager, culminating in Catriona Bisset’s record breaking 800m performance at the London Diamond League. Sean also reflects on the World University Games in Naples before moving on to an in depth analysis of the Australian performances in London. XCR’19 moved to balmy Ballarat in the depths of winter, where unseasonal conditions provided a great opportunity for runners to post fast 15km & 6km times around the Lake Wendouree circuit. DTT caught up with race winners Kiah Fry and Andrew Buchanan to discuss their runs. And as we move to the latter stages of XCR’19, Hamish delivers an honest assessment of the various Premiership and relegation battles across the divisions. Athletics Victoria CEO Glenn Turnor also provides some comment and thoughts on the XCR series by way of an interview recorded immediately after the Lake Wendouree race. Lisa Weightman lit up the Australian running scene in Sydney last weekend by running a World Record for an 40 year old over the classic 10km road race distance. Lisa’s time of 31:55 was a PB for the three time Olympian who is looking toward Tokyo to join a very elite group of four time Olympians in athletics. We hear from Lisa about her run and the next phase of her preparation. Joining Lisa as a World Record breaker, Steve Moneghetti ran a big race on his home circuit to take the World 55 to 59 record for the 15km. Mona joins DTT for a quick chat about the Lake Wendouree event. In another feature interview we catch up with Sam Rizzo, the Ballarat based wheelie who under the guidance of Richard Colman has his sights set firmly on the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics. We round out the feature interviews by catching up with Nick Earl at the Tasmanian Cross Country Championships at Pontville. Nick agonizes over being beaten by someone half his age and having heckling directed at him from across Bass Strait by Hamish Beaumont. In the Hot Topics Sean, Tim and Hamish tackle the issues around Shayna Jack and the current crisis Swimming Australia now face, while the Caster Semenya case continues to attract headlines, this time due to the fact she will not be competing in the upcoming World Championships.
