Behind-the-scenes insight and opinion from some of the biggest personalities in athletics and track and field discussing their Olympic experiences, career high points, controversies and everything in between
A talented junior athlete who earned an England vest at cross country, Ben Pochee was a high-quality club senior athlete, though not quite quick enough for the very elite end of the sport. But it is as an innovative event organiser where he has made a real impact on the international stage. The Night of the 10,000m PBs at Parliament Hill has become one of the absolute gems of the British sporting year. A quirky mix of endurance running, beer tents, live music, pyrotechnics and family fun, it has completely revolutionised an event that was previously lucky to attract one man and his dog. This year is the 10th anniversary of the event and in this episode we look back on some of the moments that have taken the event to European Cup status and become the official trial event for Olympics and World Championships. We also explore the potential of other disciplines and how they could help transform athletics’ broader appeal.
