Show notes
This week: how Jakob Ingebrigtsen was beaten over 5km on the roads, the physiology of altitude and 800m pacing, and what to do with outrageous teenage talent:
Chapters 2:33 The Ultimate Championships, national vests, and whether real-time data on release angle could make field events worth watching 14:58 The World Road Running Championships in Copenhagen, where Ingebrigtsen was beaten by Eritrea's Dawit Seare in the 5km . We trace the decisive suicidal surge at 4km, why closing that three-second gap emptied his tank for the last 200m, and what it means for athletes who race the Norweigian over 5000m in future. Plus, we preview a show focused on the fascinating approach that Ingebrigtsen brings to his life and training 26:29 Likina Amebaw wins the women's 5km, Agnes Ngetich sets a women-only half marathon record, and Andreas Almgren runs a 58:06 European record ahead of his New York Marathon debut 33:16 Nairobi gets the 2029 World Championships at 1,760m. Why does thin air help sprinters (and track cyclists) but hurt anyone racing 1500m and up? 42:08 Athlos, 'action density', Keely Hodgkinson's speed suit, and whether aerodynamics matters in running at all55:05 Are women pacing the 800m wrong? Peripheral fatigue, and why race duration (roughly 100 vs 115 seconds) might shift the optimal strategy 1:01:28 Enric Mas wins the Vuelta, and a wide-open cycling Worlds road race awaits 1:08:29 13-year-old swimmer Yu Zidi wins two Asian Games golds . How should coaches handle talent this young? 1:17:18 Joe Warne explains MetaStudent, pooling student research projects into bigger, better studies 1:22:28 And finally, the Red Roses' 39-match winning streak ends, Wales women put 50 on South Africa, and Anna's ride around Australia reaches nine magpie attacks and counting!
