One of the endearingly frustrating things about athletics is its tendency for misplaced anxieties. One person’s imminent disaster is another’s ho-hum moment, I know, but we all too easily get into a tizz about things that aren’t as bad as we think whilst overlooking crises...

Derek Clayton was an irresistible force: the marathon is an immovable object. When they clashed, there could only be two possible outcomes. Clayton would smash the marathon; or the marathon - more precisely, the preparation for the marathon – would smash him. So it went for a career which saw Clayton alternatively a mile ahead - almost literally, at times - of the rest of the world, or limping along forlornly behind it. Twice he smashed the world best; nine times he went under the surgeon’s knife.

Currently, I am home in Boulder Colorado with my rear end parked on the couch after my Silicon Valley Turkey Trot race. Training has been great here. Joining Tinman has been my first experience with altitude training. At first, I struggled but then things just seemed to click for me one day. It’s been smooth sailing since. I’ve been crushing workouts and feeling great. It’s been a huge perspective shift from college. The NCAA is a bit of a meatgrinder system.

The World Athletics Athlete of the Year is determined by a vote of administrators, a (loosely defined) athletics ‘family’ and fans (that is, members of the general public). The administrators – aka World Athletics Council members – count for 50 percent; the family – including...

2019 was a big year from Sam Parsons; a switch to run for Germany and an appearance at the Doha World Championships making 2019 an eventful one for this rising 5000m athlete.  Based in Boulder, Colorado, Sam is busy preparing for what will hopefully be a bigger 2020, with the Olympics just a stone throws away.We caught up with Sam to chat about 2019, his training, and heaps more.

Two Olympic golds, two world championship golds, 800m world record holder.  The G.O.A.T – of that there can be little doubt.  Like many star 800m runners, Rudisha hails from the Brother Colm O’Connell stable. Home to thoroughbreds. Runner’s Tribe took an in-depth look at the training of the 800m G.O.A.T himself, David Rudisha.

The latest episode of our Workout Any Day ?️ series features Riley Day. Her PB for the 200m of 22.93 is the third fastest in Australian junior history behind the high altitude performances of Raelene Boyle and Jenny Lamy in Mexico City. Produced for Runner's...

But, suddenly, a new contender has emerged. A classic Seinfeld punchline which, because it is from an episode which references the New York marathon, is relevant here. In the episode in question – The Apartment – the scene is a marathon-day party where Jerry and George...

The nineteen eighties decade was a rich one for middle distance running. In Britain the likes of Cram, Coe and Ovett dominated, whilst in Africa, Said Aoutia was the man. Down under, there was one man who had a stranglehold over Australian 1500m and mile running for most of the eighties, his name, Michael Hillardt. Mike won eight Australian titles for 1500m and two for the 800m. He also was the victor at the 1985 World Indoor Athletics Championships 1500m which was the highlight of his career. He finished with a personal best of 3:33.39 for the 1500m (2nd on all time Australian list. ED: Michael is now 4th on the all time list. Since 2008 both Ryan Gregson and Jeff Riseley have bettered his mark), 3:51.82 for the mile, 2:17.49 for 1000m and 1:45.74 for the 800m.
