Podcast appearances and mentions of craig mottram

Claudia Hollingsworth is the kind of person who would excel at anything she put her mind to. The 19-year-old Australian is already an Olympic semi-finalist, World Under-20 silver medallist and Australian Champion in the 800m, and she's just getting started. In this conversation, we delve into Claudia's incredible year, what it's like to train with On Athletics Club Oceania, and how she's ready to go all in as a professional athlete (with uni studies on the side). You'll also hear a few quirky facts about Claudia's passions off the track (hint: pinecones and dead bugs). Claudia first captured attention at primary school when she was selected for the Pacific School Games and competed at the National Primary Schools Cross Country. But it was when world 5000m bronze medallist Craig Mottram became her coach that her track-and-field career really started to gain momentum. While still at high school, she earned selection for the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Oregon. This year in a highly competitive 800m field at the Paris Olympics, Claudia wowed the world with a mature, clinical and confident run that saw her come 2nd in her heat and sail straight through to the semi-finals. Sport has always been part of Claudia's DNA, having been an avid Australian Rules football player with the East Brighton Vampires and the Sandringham Dragons. Although she considered applying to the AFL Women's draft, ultimately track and field won her heart. -- Claudia's instagram: @claudiahollingsworth_ Intro/outro music by Dan Beacom  Graphic design by Kate Scheer

Today, on the podcast I am incredibly fortunate to be chatting to Adrian Blincoe. In July 2008 Adrian ran an astonishing 13:10, the fastest ever 5000m run by a New Zealander, his record still stands today (as of early 2021)! We start off the chat by taking a deep dive into his time at Villanova College where he was coached by the legendary Marcus O’Sullivan. Adrian spent 12 yrs at Villanova as both an athlete and assistant coach. He had a big hand in athlete recruitment at Villanova and was integral in getting the likes of; Sam McEntee, Matthew Gibney, Jordan Williamz and Patrick Tiernan across the ditch. We then chat about his professional running career as a sponsored New Balance athlete that ran for the Melbourne Track Club, running with the likes of; Craig Mottram, Collis Birmingham, Bobby Curtis and many others. We discuss his Beijing 2008 Olympic experience and many other memories (races/training sessions and learnings) from his career. We finish the chat talking about his last 9yrs with High Performance New Zealand where he is heavily involved with athlete development. I personally watched Adrian growing up as a kid, whether it was at Golden League Athletics meets on TV or at Melbourne Track events! So, as you would expect it was a complete honour to chat to him. He spoke with such poise, confidence and oozed wisdom, it’s a chat many will get a lot from particularly the up and coming athlete. .

What an enlightening chat I had with Jono Hall, I was utterly transfixed to his every word and I have to admit I’ve re-listened to this chat several times since! “Jono” is a renowned Coach in the world of Triathlon. He is the head coach of Triathlon Canada's National Performance Center. He coaches top Canadian athletes such as Tyler Mislawchuk, plus a handful of international world class athletes on the ITU circuit. In this training talk we discuss Jono's coaching philosophy, what makes a ‘good coach’? Why him not being a fan of triathlon, possibly helps his coaching? What can ‘runners’ learn from triathlon training? His experiences coaching the likes of; Alan Webb, Craig Mottram, Drew Ginn and Morgan Pearson. Jono has been a professional coach for the past 15 yrs; initially with the VIS, Triathlon Australia and then was a lead coach for Triathlon USA for several years too. His private Triathlon coaching business is called the @Multi sport Brain. Prior to his coaching, as an athlete Jono Hall won the 1997 Australian Road Cycling Championships and 1997 ITU World Duathlon Championships! Keen runners and coaches, this one’s for you, I encourage you to all listen in, I’m sure you will learn/refine/consolidate a thought or two. Thanks again Jono Hall, loved it, so thankful for your time!
