In episode 30 of Conversations About Running Gavin & Callum talk to professional athlete for Nike and NN Running Team, Jake Smith. Jake is the 3rd fastest British Half Marathon runner of all time with a PB of 60:31 set when finishing 18th in the world championships in 2020. He has been running at an elite level for a number of years now, but shot to mainstream recognition when he won the Cheshire Elite Marathon in 2021 in 2:11:00, despite entering the race as a pacemaker with no intention of finishing. That day Jake earned the moniker 'Marathon Maverik' and today we discuss with Jake the pros and cons of his maverik approach to distance running. Amongst other topics, we discus the newly announced Olympic Qualifying standards, Jake's recent injury and his current comeback, his new coaching set up with Gavin and Jo Pavey and his time spent in Uganda training with world record holder Joshua Cheptegei. Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy this episode of Conversations about Running with Jake Smith.

This week on the workshop we have a lot to get off our collective chests. The big news is that Holly has tested negative TODAY and is feeling super happy and looking forward to her first trip to Sainsbury's, and also her first post-Covid run. We talk about how she should approach that, and how we can both train and run our half marathon in berlin sensibly, so that we enjoy it and don't collapse. So yes, we start wanging on about the walk/run method, and I get all finger waggy with Holly about this. I also have a bit of a race report having completed the Brighton half marathon which, through no fault of its own was a bit of an uncomfortable run for me – so we talk about injuries here too. We also, because of my experience here, talk about the things we have inadvertently said out loud while running. We also finish this one up by talking about some of the things that annoy us while we run – I have quite a long list, so I've kept mine short. And in fact, this is something we're going to revisit next time: please let us know your own running grievances, we would love to know we're not the only ones!

Fullspäckat avsnitt! Tyskland, Lidingö, Olympier, EM-vinnare, män från Småland som dubblar på Lidingöloppet. Det händer onekligen grejer, vi har träffat Jared Ward, Jo Pavey och Oscar Claesson. Alla duktiga löpare och intressanta profiler som bidrar med matnyttig information om allt från kost till hur man ska tackla terrängspåren. Missa inte.  Sen har John sprungit kass i Tyskland och Manne sprungit relativt bra på Lidingö. 

"When I go and talk in schools and you've got these negative issues, you want to portray the positivity of 'Wow. This is such a great thing to be involved in running, sport and events.' Even though it's frustrating, you want to put that positive message out. You want kids to get involved. You want to celebrate being together as runners. When I look back at my career, yes, I am frustrated at what my career could have been but that's the same for so many athletes...You just have to think, 'Yeah, but I've traveled all over the world. I've met amazing people. I've competed at Olympic Games. Aren't I a lucky person to have had that?' That's kind of the message I want to take forward as well. Of course, I'm gutted about people who cheat but you want to think about the positives of our sport as well. There's still work to do." Jo Pavey is a five-time Olympian for Great Britain. She is the 2007 world championship bronze medalist in the 10,000 meters after finishing fourth but then getting upgraded to the podium following a re-test of the anti-doping samples that found Elvan Abeylegesse of Turkey had tested positive for a banned steroid. However, the upgrade didn't happen for 10 years so it really did affect the course of her career. We talk about that and how she continued to press forward with her doubts for years. She is also the 2014 European champion in the 10,000 meters, which she says is the other proudest moment of her career because it came at 40 years old and as a mother. She just celebrated her 48th birthday and has plans to continue racing so you'll get to learn more about the keys to her longevity. It was fun to sit down with Jo alongside my recurring co-host Kyle Merber before we commentated at the Saucony Fast Future 10K in Essen, Germany.

In this episode I speak to Jess Judd, British 5000m champion and soon-to-be Olympian. Jess is on the plane to Tokyo any minute now, I think, and I'm so excited about watching her race while she's there – she's due to be running the double: the 5000 metres and the 10,000 metres. She talks to me here about her modest start with running, her dad's love of the sport, and how his enthusiasm was infectious. How she took to it like a duck to water, falling in love with both track and cross country. I ask her what it's like to be picked for the Olympics, and how she trains for it given the demands of a very busy schedule: she's also currently studying for a PhD, and she has the not insignificant task of planning a wedding alongside that. She tells me about that, about her thoughts on equality in cross country, how she gets used to race day nerves and performing in front of crowds, and what it was like to meet her hero Jo Pavey. Jess is sponsored by HOKA, so I also ask how that came about, and what kit she enjoys running in the most. She's an extremely talented runner, and we can't wait to see what happens in the next couple of weeks. Fingers crossed for Jess!Podcast listeners can claim the best discount we have for membership to Women's Running, which is 35% off. That's less than £2.95 a month!

In the second of our interview specials, Paul is in Devon with another absolute inspiration - five-time Olympian and multiple medallist Jo Pavey. She's certainly modest, but what a story, from the early days and the highs-and-lows of major events to more than balancing athletics and motherhood - then further family life and other adventures running in her forties, and through lockdown.Thank you once again to all of you who have ‘bought us a coffee' - or more - through the Acast Supporter button; you're all wonderful.

From Roger Federer and the Williams sisters to Cristiano Ronaldo and Phil Mickelson, it seems age is just a number for sport's growing band of golden oldies. In this week's podcast, Sarah, Dan and Nesta explore the reasons behind this remarkable trend with former Olympian and sports scientist Greg Whyte. We're joined by New York Times tennis writer Ben Rothenberg at Wimbledon where the average age of players is higher than ever. We assess the controversial diet of 43-year-old NFL superstar Tom Brady. And we talk motherhood and medals with British distance runner Jo Pavey, who's still pounding the track at the age of 47.

Another huge week in British distance running, Oliver Dustin is looking v.nicey (copyright Lucian Allison) in Nice, Dever wins the NCAA title, and Butchart sets a BMC record. Matthew Clowes been here there and everywhere (Thinks he's Will Smith from Seven Pounds), but hopefully has a plan to recovery after seeing the doc. Josh Lunn is back at peak levels of excitement following a couple of half decent sessions. If anyone wants to take over our WhatsApp chat for us then feel free, as myself and Matt don't have the time to respond to his incessant messaging. While Aaron Scott bagged his podcast head-to-head win if he simply toes the line in Leeds. He's been suffering with hayfever, and generally feeling pretty tired thanks to Dad life. No interview this week, but we will try to go in depth into a couple of listener questions, and we will be back with a big interview next week. Have a distinctly average week people, and enjoy the pod. NCAAs The week started in an exciting way when Patrick Dever won the NCAA 10,000m final in Eugene with a stunning performance. Six athletes were still in the running with 200m to go but Patrick Dever absolutely smashed the last 50 meters to finish in a winning time of 27:41.87. That puts him 15th all time in Britain and is a huge 46 seconds faster than his existing PB. Charles Hicks placed seventh and another big PB of 27:47.63 breaking Dave Bedfords British teen-best of 28:24.4 which was set in 1969. Poppy Tank made sure it wasn't just the gents setting new bests, as she ran 32:50.57 for ninth in her 10000m final. Meeting International de Nice  Revee Walcott-Nolan ran a PB of 4:06.28 to place second in the 1500m and in the mens 1500m George Mills was seventh in 3:37.00. Earlier in the week Mills had been at the WA Continental Tour Bronze meet in Prague and ran a 3:36.42 for fourth place. Eilish McColgan was racing again, running herself a 5,000m second place finish in a time of 14:55.79. She now has the Olympic qualifying time for 1500, 5000 and 10,000! In the men's 5000m it was great to see Jonny Davies clocking a fine 13:21.56, a performance hat has gone under the radar a bit this week but which was a near 10 second PB for the former European u/23 XC Champion. Mark Pearce was in action in the chase running a big PB of 8:25.43, another athlete coached by Luke Gunn delivering top results. In shorter news but absolutely the jaw-dropping moment of the week was Oliver Dustin's (Border AC) performance of 1:43.82 over 800m which secured him the title of European U20 champion and 6th place on the UK all time list. Issey Boffey was in action in the women's 800m running 2:05.53. Meeting Pro Athlé Tour de Marseille Charlie De-vall Grice cut down his distance to 800 where he clocked 1:45.63. At the same meet, Elliot Giles went the other way and ran the 1500 where he was 2nd in 3:33.80, Piers Copeland ran 3:34.62 which is his first OT, Jake Heyward continued his fine form with 3:34.63 also with George Mills running 3:36. Butchart breaks BMC best Andy Butchart put in a strong contender for performance of the night, setting a BMC record over 3000m to win his race in 7:43.57, beating Jack Rowe's PB run of 7:49.71 The men's 5000m was PBs all the way for the podium placers – it was won by U23 Isaac Akers in 13:47.31, followed by Ellis Cross in 13:50.53 and Daniel Jarvis in 13:55.02. In the B race there was a breakthrough performance from welshman Osian Perrin who was first in the u20 5000m in 13:53.20 and set a new Welsh junior record. The women's 5000m had a strong lineup of new and very experienced talent, including one Jo Pavey who took to the track for the first time in three years. With Euro u/23 places up for grabs youth won out here too though with the U23s claiming the top three spots and new PBs in the process thanks to Izzy Fry with 15:49.25, Charlotte Dannatt with 16:06.70 and Naomi Land in 16:09.13.   On the roads, The City of Norwich Half Marathon was back with Natasha Cockram winning in 1:16:31 and Norman Shreeve was the winning man running 1:08:30. In other news…. Good news from Parkrun this week, it's back in England and will restart on June the 26th. Listener Questions - 10 mins As the Euros have started, and Lunners knowing even less about football than I do, who would win the following football match: 1 horse with Lunners' head, or 11 Lunners' with a horses head - SHANE ROBINSON I have a question if you don't mind… do you all do S&C and if so what are you doing and how often? Do you periodise your S&C alongside your running programme? And, should a hobby runner, like me, with time goals (2:45 marathon at London) prioritise S&C over recovery or junk miles outside of the main sessions? SEAN DARNEY How much do you know notice the crowd in a race and does a good cheering/support crew help you race? KAT CHANNING PHILLIPS Alright lads. Looking to break sub 3 hour marathon time in Liverpool in October. Wondered if you could all recommend an interval session and a long run session I can build into my weekly training. Planning an 18 week block to give myself the best chance to achieve it. (Currently 3:19 PB with a 14 week block). Cheers. MARC JOYCE   MARATHON BUILD UP BLOCKS - CLOWES TO DISCUSS BERLIN 2:13 Any big events next week? British Trials 25th - 27th June in Manchester Aaron continues his build up to Leeds 10000m (24th June, 1.5 more weeks). Josh asks for friends to play COD with him.

This week on TRACK! we are joined by UK middle-distance running royalty, Christina Boxer. Christina was a consistently selected GB athlete between 1978 and 1992 over the 800 and 1500m distances. She is a 3 time Olympian, Gold medalist at the Commonwealth Games and has the distinction of being the first British female to run under 2 minutes in the 800m. Christina followed her time competing as a respected athletics journalist with ITV and BBC as well as embarking on a coaching career that has seen her work with Jo Pavey and Charlotte Moore. We are lucky to have Christina as a coach at Worcester AC which has allowed us to get to know her and convince her to give up her time for a chat. In the pre-show we discuss the return of racing to the UK with some brilliant performances. We cover the latest from Beth Potter's performance at Podium 5km and the Olympic Marathon selection story including Charlotte Purdue's appeal against her non-selection. Thanks for listening, we hope you enjoy.

In the episode we're going to talk about anxiety, fears and motivation. This is a re-upload of two previous YouTube videos where I've taken the audio out. Transcription below. The greatest marketing funnel blog on the internet bar none-

Carrie chats with 5-time Olympian Jo Pavey! They discuss her attempt to make the 2021 Olympic Games at the age of 48, her training, life as a mom and wife, her goals going forward, and much more!

I want to talk about why you should stop keeping score, because that's other people's jobs. The reason this is important is because in everything that we do, especially in business, everything is measured ultimately by metrics. But those metrics are useless unless you play the game. Cliff notes: The goal is to play the game Everyone else is “keeping score” We often measure success by what other's have “won”Money Fame Audience Recognition Achievements Published work We sometimes see ourselves as losing when we get a bad scoreTax bill Refund request Bad review Lost revenue No revenue When we're running our business it can seem like we're losing and others are winning Business is a game, but its a game of endurance You might be losing now, but you have one massive advantageYou decide how long you play People say it's a marathon, not a sprint It's a feat of endurance Keep your eye on the goal, everything else is a detail Others might pass you, but it's a long long gameit doesn't end until you want it to Story: MailChimp, founded 2001Basecamp, founded 2004 Jo Pavey running since 1997 The greatest marketing funnel blog on the internet bar none-

Our guest this week is long-distance runner and mum of two Jo Pavey. Jo is an international athlete who has competed at five consecutive Olympic Games in the 5,000m and 10,000m. She was the European champion in 2014 after coming back from giving birth to her second child less than a year earlier. Jo aspires to compete at a sixth Olympic Games in 2021 at the age of 47- in short she's an amazing athlete and role model for so many women when it comes to balancing motherhood and training, promoting the joys of running and looking after your body whilst doing it.Jo explains to us how as a runner you can have a long career if you manage your body in the right way, whether it's by eating enough calories and keeping a regular menstrual cycle to training in different countries with her husband and coach Gav and running for the pure love if it. Jo also explains how she managed her training and expectations whilst pregnant, never pushing her body too far and ultimately how she came back from pregnancy and child birth to win European gold at the age of 40.We also discuss how coaches and female athletes need to better understand the changes to a developing female body during puberty and how this may affect their performance, whilst encouraging young athletes to enjoy their sport without the pressures of body image and performance goals. Jo recalls her own journey during this stage of her life and what she learnt along the way. Finally, we talk about how Jo finds balancing being a mum with training, as she prepares for a sixth Olympic Games, and why she enjoys her running MORE since starting a family.

And time-travelling Jen is here again, catching up with the awesome – in the most literal meaning of the word – Jo Pavey about being an Olympian and keeping kids active during lockdown. Jam-packed? Damn right. Plus, in Dunleavy Does Disaster, Hannah, Mick and Lucy are stuck in a tunnel with Sylvester Stallone and a plucky band of survivors trying to reach Daylight (and very ungrateful about the vital help from their rat friends). And in the Bush Telegraph, Hannah and Mick are talking Thrones of Labour, CPS failings and Mary Jackson HQ. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Beet juice has become all the rage in the running world over the last few years, and for that we can thank Dr. Andrew Jones (aka @AndyBeetroot on Twitter).   With the help of his team at the University of Exeter, Andrew discovered beetroot’s natural performance enhancing benefits back in 2014 and continues exploring new ways for runners to fully capitalize on them. These benefits include a reduction in the cost of oxygen during exercise (and therefore perceived effort) as well as a boost in cognitive function, which, let’s face it, we could all use when the going gets tough at the end of a race.   And Andrew’s scientific pursuits don’t stop there. While he’s known more recently for his work with beetroot, Andrew is also the associate dean of Research and Knowledge Transfer, a professor of applied physiology, the Head of Sport and Health Sciences, and the leader of the Bioenergetics and Human Performance Research Group at the University of Exeter.   When he’s not studying beetroot’s ergogenic effects, he’s one of sport’s leading physiologists. Specializing in VO2 kinetics, he works with a variety of elite athletes and was the longtime physiologist to both Jo Pavey, who just 3 years ago became the oldest European female 10K champion at the age of 40, as well as Paula Radcliffe, who holds the world record in the marathon.   Let’s just say Andrew knows his stuff, and between all his groundbreaking research and expertise there’s a good chance you’ll have a hankering for some beets by the end of this interview.   Here are some of the topics we’ll discuss today:   Andrew’s work as a leading physiologist The importance of VO2 max to performance The research on beetroot to date and what’s next Beetroot’s performance benefits How to integrate beetroot in your diet for the best results   Questions Andrew is asked: 3:31 Andrew’s background 5:53 Working with endurance athletes in your role as a physiologist 8:10 How important do you think VO2 Max is to athletic performance? 9:18 What studies are you currently working on? 10:53 How did you originally become interested in beetroot? 14:54 In your study, how long did it take for subjects to start seeing results from beetroot? 16:26 Would endurance athletes get the same benefits from beetroot as shorter, high-intensity athletes? 19:44 How much of your research has focused on the benefits of beetroot for recreational athletes vs. elite athletes? 22:03 When you studied lesser experienced runners, did you see any changes in their VO2 Max numbers? 24:37 Would this also speed up recovery rates? 26:42 Are there any other food sources that contain a high concentration of nitrate? 28:50  Are micro nutrients more easily absorbed via liquid form? 29:33 How do our bodies process nitrate? 32:41 Is there an effective beet product that is mobile-friendly? 36:17 How can people integrate beetroot into their diets and training programs for best results? 38:11 Why would you recommend 3-4 weeks on followed by a break from taking it? 38:54 Would consuming beetroot midway through a long run provide any benefits? 41:54 Are there any GI issues or side effects to be aware of? 43:40 How much headroom do you think there is for beetroot research as an ergogenic aid? 49:42 The Final Kick Round Quotes by GUEST: “One of my specialities is VO2 kinetics: so when the gun fires at the beginning of a race, how quickly we can switch on our aerobic energy system to meet the energy demand by utilizing the oxygen that we breath in.”   “I’m very interested in the impact of the work that we do in the lab on actually changing practicing athletes and helping them improve their performance….So my PHD was really all about what’s the best approach we can use in the lab to measure the things in runners we know are important to their success and then relating that to the training that they do.”   “If you can understand the basis of fatigue, then that can help you understand performance more generally, and obviously that has applications in the elderly, the general public, and people with various diseases as well.”   “A chance encounter with a paper that surprised me in a journal led me to investigate the same topic further, and we’ve continued in that vein for probably the last eight years or so because the results were so - you know, it was one of those “eureka moments” that you get so rarely in science.”   “It looks as if in the condition where the participants took the nitrate top up halfway through, they were able to slightly spare the muscle glycogen concentration, which over the course of a marathon would be a beneficial thing to happen.” Take a Listen on Your Next Run   Leave a space for libsyn link   Want more awesome interviews and advice?

In the studio with Aasmah Mir and Richard Coles this week is Conchita Wurst winner of Eurovision 2014. Conchita hails from Columbia and is the alter ego of Tom Neuwirth who was born in Austria. When she won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2014 with her song "Rise Like A Phoenix" she gained international fame - and also became a gay icon to the LGBT community all over the world. Conchita is a Drag Queen - not transgender. Jo Pavey has proved it's never too late to realise your dreams. The veteran mother of two shocked everyone, herself included, to become the oldest female European champion in history aged 40 years and 325 days. Jo has competed in four Olympics and won bronze in the 10,000m at the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games, and then gold in the European Championships. She is currently focusing on getting to Rio for her fifth Olympics. Jon Frost is an experienced customs officer. In his time as a uniformed officer Jon seized many weird and wonderful things: presidential aircraft, a working tank, cars, lorries, boats and coffins; and uncovered wild animals, killer snakes, bush meat, poisonous vodka, dodgy medicine, bootleg prescriptions, pirated pills, toxic alcohol, firearms, side-arms, swords, explosives, stolen gold, dirty money. Jon's book Anything to Declare is out now Carrie Hope Fletcher is currently playing the role of Eponine in Les Misérables at the Queen's Theatre in the West End and received the 2014 WhatsOnStage Award for Best Takeover in a Role in recognition of her performance.Through her phenomenally popular YouTube channel, ItsWayPastMyBedtime, Carrie has created a safe and positive space for young people to discuss their hopes and concerns online and now she will share her most personal thoughts and experiences in her first book. Part memoir, part advice guide, All I Know Now includes Carrie's thoughts on some of the topics she's asked about regularly: bullying, body image, relationships and perhaps the scariest question of all: what does the future hold for me?
