The AW team look back on an unforgettable Olympics and hear from Keely Hodgkinson’s coach and training partners about the work that goes into winning gold
The Athletics Weekly Podcast is back! In this latest episode host Euan Crumley is joined by AW Managing Director and Olympic silver medallist Wendy Sly, as well as AW Head of Digital Jason Henderson, to review what was a brilliant 2024 Games and look back at the best moments from Paris.
One of those came from Great Britain’s Keely Hodgkinson, who struck gold in the women’s 800m. The podcast is also joined by one of her coaches, Jenny Meadows, as well as three of her training partners – Erin Wallace, Charlie Hobson and Ava Lloyd – to find out more about the environment that helped to build a champion.
From what it’s like to train alongside Keely to the sessions that made a difference, there are some fascinating insights into life as part of the M11 Track Club that is led by Meadows and her husband Trevor Painter.
The interview is an extract from the cover feature of our September issue of AW, which is out now.
The season isn’t over yet, of course, and the podcast also sees the team looking forward to the Paralympics, plus the final events of this memorable track and field summer and the start of the autumn road racing season.
