As crazy as it sounds, middle-distance runner Jake Wightman doesn't really enjoy the act of going for a run. Sounds like a bit of a problem when you're an elite athlete with his sights set on an Olympic gold this summer. As a talented and sporty kid he was spotted for his potential and realised he needed to grab the opportunity - and the responsibility - that comes with it. Fortunately what he does love though is racing and the 2022 1500m World Champion offers a fascinating insight into what it's like to be in the mix of a crowded final, where mind games, tactics and decision-making become the crucial difference between glory and despair. He also tells us what it's like to have your Dad commentate on your big races, the importance of feeling his friends' support and how the thrill of winning keeps him motivated as he prepares for the biggest summer of his life.

I'm excited to share the recording from my live show in New York City this past Saturday with reigning world 1500m champion Jake Wightman of Great Britain. This past summer Jake pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the year, taking down Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen to capture his first world title. Jake, who is 28 years old and a native of Scotland, is also a Commonwealth Games and European Championships medalist, as well as a three-time champion at the 5th Avenue Mile in New York.In this conversation, we talked about the world 1500m final and the tactics he used to take the win. Jake told me about what it was like to come off the high of that world title and still having to race in the Commonwealth Games and European Championships in the weeks that came after it. We discussed pressure as a privilege, what it's like going into races now as a favorite rather than an underdog, and how he's learned to appreciate his accomplishments over the years. Jake also talked about growing up as the son of two accomplished runners, being coached by his dad and the dynamics of their relationship, and a lot more.

Looking for a pep in your step? You're in luck! Today's guest on RunPod is Geoff Wightman – a 2.13.17 marathon runner, commentator, and coach to his son Jake Wightman (who is the second fastest Briton EVER at 1500m)! Geoff has been running since he was in Cubs, it's how he met his wife, what all his family does, and in his words is “the best, simplest, nicest and healthiest activity you can do”. So should you carry water when you're running? When should you have some rest? What's the optimum amount of sleep you need before a race? And are Energy Gels actually a good idea? These are the kind of questions we're asking so you're prepared for any Race Day or run you're going on. As Geoff says, “98% of starters do make it to the finish” – so ignore your doubts, get out there, and just concentrate on having good form! You can do it!
That's it - what a games! Birmingham 2022 we salute you!Australia may have come out on top, but Team England the the country's second city has done the us proud and massive moments to celebrate to for Team Scotland and the island of Guernsey too!In this round up episode we have gold, silver and bronze medalists - England women's hockey, Keely Hodgkinson, Jake Wightman, Jack Laugher, Matty Lee and Noah Williams, Shanice Beckford-Norton and we talk the future of sports like swimming and basketball and why they can make a difference to the whole of the UK!Thank you Birmingham, thank Commonwealths - that's #Brumstheword from Anything but Footy - but we'll be back soon as yet another footy season has kicked off this weekend!

From there they assess the reasoning behind Gen's injury history, combined with racing on form and frequency. This deep conversation wraps up how Gen goes about leveraging social media presence for branding and what resources are available for athletes, a peek into Gen's future transitioning into longer distances, her post-professional running and getting involved at a grassroots level and joining the team at Puma. https://www.instagram.com/p/CSdBvKKh8jp/ Patreon Link: https://www.patreon.com/insiderunningpodcast Opening and Closing Music is Undercover of my Skin by Benny Walker. www.bennywalkermusic.com For shoes or running apparel contact Julian at: https://www.facebook.com/therunningcompanyballarat/ Join the conversation at: https://www.facebook.com/insiderunningpodcast/ To donate and show your support for the show: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=9K9WQCZNA2KAN

This is Anything but Footy - the Olympic and Paralympic Podcast.New faces on and off the track for British Athletics as the sport returned with the British Championships after lockdown. Christian Malcolm is the new Head Coach for the Olympic Programme, a welcome appointment for many, but and alongside new CEO Joanna Coates, there's a lot of issues to sort out! But all we ask is please give them time - this isn't footy!Holly Bradshaw, Jake Wightman, Sophie McKinna and Abigail Irozuru were just 4 of Britain's 16 podium funded athletes competing at the national championships in Manchester as others sat it out, or ran elsewhere around Europe. Should they not all be supporting the governing body and its broadcast deals? And could it be the end of the Diamond League sparkle in the UK? We also talk Adidas, Nike, Reebok ...Georgia Taylor-Brown became another British world champion in Triathlon in Hamburg and Giles Scott remains on course for another Olympic sailing medal - but what colour?This is the Olympic and Paralympic podcast - Anything but Footy!

A round up of the action on the second day at the Manchester Regional Arena - Daniel Rowden won Müller Performance of the Day and upset Jake Wightman to grab the men's 800m title and European medalist Holly Bradshaw won her eight title in pole vault!
Safe to say we all had *big* Friday nights... from our sofas... drowning in world record attempts, huge performances, and that ubiquitous green-and-blue Nike race kit.That's right: athletics - proper athletics - is back, and Monaco. Went. Off.Joshua Cheptegei broke Bekele's 5,000m WR, Baby Ingebrigsten has his first European Record, and Faith Kipyegon ran the second-fastest kilometre of all time.Laura Muir broke a British Record, Laura Weightman is now behind only Paula Radcliffe on the all-time 5000m list, and Jake Wightman is also sitting pretty in second after his 3:29.47 performance over 1500m. Cracking runs by Gemili, Reekie, Langford, and Pozzi, too.Amongst all the drama and blink-and-you'll-miss-it heroics, there was the soothing constant of Karsten Warholm, setting off at a speed which appears deranged, but transpires to be genius. He's just the best, isn't he?Anyway - Claire has lots of work to do, so has trusted Jody and Bayo to chat this one through. Expect the usual: strong opinions, forgotten names, and oodles of enthusiasm.@BackstraightB and @Claire_GThomas, if you want to say 'hi'.
Back & Banterish as ever! Season 3 is kicked off with a fellow Scotsman, Jake Wightman. Jake Wightman is the Scottish record holder for the 1500m, Commonwealth and European bronze medalist in 2018 and all-time scaredy cat after watching Pet Sematary. Your hosts covered a variety of topics with their first guest of a season. Ranging from structure of Uni, Highland games, a Scottish quiz, and what Jake was thinking driving to Las Vegas at the speed of sound. Banter Bowl Highlights: "What is the race weakness of the other?" David asking Josh and Jake "Driving a bit fast to Vegas were you Jake?" Josh to Jake "Scary movies aren't your thing are they? What happened after you watched Pat Sematary?" David to Jake Sit back and Kick it with the first episode of Season III

Jake Wightman is an 800/1500m athlete who has had incredible success domestically and internationally.His accolades include:European Junior ChampionDiamond League Meet WinnerScottish 1500m Record HolderCommonwealth Bronze Medalist
We'll level with you: this might be a middle distance special, but it's the length of a marathon. It's an hour and forty-eight minutes of athletics chat, including four substantial interviews with a quartet of Great Britain's finest current 800 and 1500 metre racers. You could get half way through the responsibly-spaced queue at your local Tesco's in that time.'The optimal length for a podcast episode is between 40 and 50 minutes', the received wisdom will tell you. Well, we've a few responses to that:1) You've nothing better to do right now. You've either cancelled all your plans (like Bayo); you're waiting for this whole thing to blow over in your holiday home (like Jody); or you actually have the virus, and so are a mopey, isolated mess (like Claire). This will help with *any* of those.2) We are enjoying incredible success in middle distance disciplines right now, leaving us all nostalgic for the Cram/Coe/Ovett era, and getting us super excited for what is to come. Six out of twelve available medals won at last year's European Juniors, and three Brits toeing the 1500 metre start line in Doha last year. British trials are now world-class affairs. This is a hot topic. It merits the time.3) The guests we have on are fabulous. Jake Wightman leads the charge, with Scottish records, European and Commonwealth medals, and a 5th-place global finish to his name. Jamie Webb has burst onto the scene, and - with that European Indoors silver and a 1:44.52 personal best - this Chemistry teacher has all the elements to make his mark on the international stage (sorry...). Josh Kerr headed to the States as a 17-year-old, where he won multiple NCAA medals and set the collegiate 1500 metre record, before staying out there to run for Brooks, place 6th in Doha, and start his own podcast ('Sit & Kick': check it out). Oliver Dustin is the reigning European U20 Champion, but - most excitingly - loves tactical racing, and knows he's plenty more to give as he progresses to the senior ranks. You really want to hear what these speedsters have to say.You see our point. So - what are you waiting for? Download, buckle up, and enjoy the longest we've ever gone without interviewing a Sprint Queen...Twitter: @BackstraightB & @Claire_GThomasInstagram: @BackstraightBoysPodcast

What Does it Take to be an Elite Short-Distance Runner? Every young athlete dreams of being the best at his or her game. Think back to your childhood days and envision yourself kicking a soccer ball in the backyard. Each tree is a suspect defender waiting for your signature juke. You can hear the crowd roar as you sprint past each victim and net the ball into the upper 90 with no time left. You whisper under your breath as the announcer in your head yells, “Goooooaaalll!” The game ends and you lie on the grass almost feeling yourself being lifted off the field by your teammates as the stadium chants your name. Okay. Maybe this isn’t the exact scenario that played out in your head. But you’ve had a dream before too. Whatever it was, it was glorious to you. Dreaming is fun, and instantly rewarding. But do you have what it really takes to become a true elite athlete? Enter Jake Wightman. Jake is a highly decorated short-distance runner who recently won the New Balance Fifth Avenue Mile in New York City. He also won gold at the 2013 European Junior Championships and has won bronze in both the Commonwealth Games and European Championships, all in the 1500-meter event. At the age of 24, Jake is just getting started. He is dedicated to his craft and reviewed with us what he has done to stay at the top of his game. Putting in the Work: Physical Training Once a dream becomes a goal, the real work begins. This can be both daunting and exciting. Jake’s success hasn’t happened on accident. He follows a rigorous training schedule, with concrete workouts every day of the week. Here’s what a typical weekly workout looks like for Jake: Monday: Fast run. 8 miles at a 5:40 pace. Yoga in the evening. Tuesday: Hill runs. 15 reps of 75 second near-sprints up and a jog back down. Strength conditioning for 2 hours in the evening. Wednesday: “Easy run.” 8 miles (or two 5s) at a 6 min pace. Evening stretches and light workout of calves, hamstrings. Thursday: Another fast run. 5 miles at a 5:40 pace. Additional drills and sprints. Friday: Easy run or recovery day. Saturday: Time-based runs. Strength conditioning. Sunday: Long run. Up to 17 miles, but comfortable. A pace you can have a conversation at. SO, if all you have written out for your daily workout is “Run,” you might want to take a page out of Jake’s book. Depending on your distance of choice, the best type of training routine for you could be drastically different. While an elite marathon runner logs 100-120 miles a week, someone like Jake puts in 65-75 miles. Elite athletes train hard, but they also train smart. Make sure you are doing what is good for YOUR body and your type of competition. Staying Mentally Tough If you are reading this article, you probably already know that the majority of athletic success comes from mental toughness. Naturally gifted athletes with raw, physical abilities will not last long against persistent, mentally tough, run-of-the-mill competitors. For Jake, it’s all about embracing the opportunity of a competition, staying positive, and remembering to be human. After you have committed to putting in the training time, every competition can be treated as a reward, a time to show what all that hard work has accomplished. For those that get nervous or anxious as the competition gets closer, Jake says, “You’ve got to remember the work you’ve put in…the race should just be the icing on the cake.” Speaking of cake, another task of being a great athlete is remaining human. “Although it seems like [great runners] live the strictest lives possible, we’re also human,” says Jake. He goes on to say that runners at every level need to have moderation in everything. Never allowing yourself to cheat and have your favorite dessert or beer once in a while can be more damaging than helpful. Mental toughness is also about being realistic with yourself. Be dedicated, but make sure to enjoy life at the same time. Maintaining a Positive Image Have you thought about what changes when you actually become an elite athlete? It’s probably mostly a waste of time to think about what you will do once you become a superstar athlete. (It’s like dreaming what you will do when you win the lottery.) You ought to focus on the day-to-day and what will get you there. However, there are a few things to consider once you finally “make it.” As you climb the ladder of success, more and more eyes will be on you. Young athletes especially will begin to pattern their clothes, pre-competition routines, and attitudes after you. Jake Wightman gives back to the running community by volunteering at training camps and giving advice to those hopeful athletes that are hoping to break through. Remember that you are representing your sport, your city or country, and your friends and family. Being a “Pollyanna” isn’t a requirement when you start to get a little success, but remember, it’s bigger than just you. If you are a hopeful athlete yourself, Jake gives some of his best advice to those that are determined to make their dreams a reality. “It’s just a game of being patient,” Jake says, “I guarantee if you stay with it and don’t do anything stupid or lose your head or lose your love for the sport, you will get the success you deserve from all the hard work you put in.” So, what are you waiting for? Go out there and work hard, be patient, and never stop loving your sport and you too will find the success you deserve.
