The Easy Double boys are back with a loaded episode after one of the busiest weeks of the season, these 2hr episodes are out of control
We start by reflecting on last week’s Jake Smith interview — your reactions, our takeaways, and why it might just have brought some new faces into the Easy Double community. Over in the Strava group, Jake’s antics continue, Kristian's Canova-style special gets the nod, and we talk about the special delivery on the way ahead of the Clubhouse launch next week.
From there, it’s into The Results:
Silesia Diamond League: Keely Hodgkinson front-running her way to a world lead, Jess Hull pacing a WR attempt, Rose Davies and Lauren Ryan hitting huge marks.. Plus the Goose racing with new tactics and Hoey upsetting Kessler.
Sweden’s Folksam Grand Prix: Andreas Almgren obliterates his own national record, Seth O’Donnell shows serious form, and the Aussies keep climbing the all-time ranks.
Hungarian GP, Oulu Finland, and Fribourg Switzerland: big PBs across the middle-distance crew, British standards getting ticked off left and right, and a busy week for the Aussies in Europe.
Dean breaks down his own training week and talks through the discomfort he's been feeling and what he's doing to manage it. Eoin was racing again! With a big 10 mile race in Dublins Phoenix Park, how high up could he finish?
