Berlin Marathon brought the drama as Tigst Assefa was looking to break the femle marathon world record before an achilles injury derailed her in the final 2km, finishing 2:11:04 and straight into surgery. Guye Adola floated to victory looking impossibly smooth, and Jake Smith grabbed a massive lifetime best.
In Ireland Eoin was back racing with a 5K road race in Dublin, building toward his November goal.
📰 In running news Jack Rainier looks to DNS Melbourne marathon while the shoe wars heating up with Mizuno's 96-gram hyper warp threatening to either revolutionise or blow away in the wind. Vinny Strava (Vinnie Maori) is doing genuinely unhinged marathon prep for Chicago with 40+ mile days at marathon pace, double thresholds on treadmills. The man's a follow.
📺 YouTube diaries are everywhere now. Nomio's dropping training content, Clayton Young's got new ones, Graham Blanks showing his process. The transparency's brilliant.
👊 Double Trouble goes rogue as we debate what belongs on Strava (spoiler: zoo walks with 19 animal photos are acceptable if they commit hard enough), and Dean's got a story about riding a flat-tired bike in jeans three pints deep to make an interview with Cam on time.

Welcome to the third episode of our bi-weekly series, The Road To Dublin, where we follow three athletes building toward the Dublin Marathon on October 25th.

We're well over halfway there, and with just under 4 weeks left until the big day, training is stepping up. They've each raced half marathons and just completed their biggest weeks. Follow us as we reach the critical final phase of their training blocks.

Please meet:
Bri McGhee, a final-year dietetics student running her very first marathon.
David Troy, the national 10k champion, gearing up for only his second time over the 42.2km distance.
Will Boyle, an Asics frontrunner coming off an injury that ruled him out of London, now looking ahead to an exciting Dublin build.
Follow along as these three chase very different dreams on the same course.... it's going to be something special.

Still only 20, Cam has already run 3:28.00 for 1500m, 3:46.06 for the mile and 7:25.57 for 3000m — and his 2026 season has seen him become Diamond League Champion, Millrose Games champion, Commonwealth Games silver medallist and World Ultimate Championships runner-up.

🎙️ Cam joins us to chat about:
🏆 Winning the Diamond League Final in Brussels
🧠 The mindset shift from looking up to the world’s best to believing he can beat anyone
⚔️ Racing Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Josh Kerr and the best 1500m runners in the world
📈 His incredible progression over the last couple of seasons
🧪 Double threshold, lactate testing and the training behind 3:28
🏃‍♂️ Why there’s no such thing as the “perfect” training programme
🇦🇺 Choosing to stay in Australia rather than taking the NCAA route
✈️ The reality of spending months racing and training around Europe
🎯 Race tactics, championship racing and where he can still improve
🌍 His thoughts on World Ultimate, World Athletics rankings and the current state of the sport
🔮 What comes next after a breakthrough season at the very top of the sport

💬 “There has to come a time where you’ve just gotta believe like no one can beat you.”

One of our favourite conversations yet with one of the most exciting athletes in world athletics.

Copenhagen's World Road Running Championships and the Atlos women's meet both served up quality racing — with Almgren's half marathon European record and Jakob collapsing in a starfish the headline moments while Keely Hodgkinson steals the show in London.
📰 In running news ON's somehow pulled Mbappe away from Nike. Curtis Marshall's whispers about getting Mondo to Perth. The AlphaFly 4 finally landed — and it looks suspiciously like the 3. Jack Rainier's DNF in Copenhagen raising questions about Melbourne's chances.
We've also got YouTube diaries on the agenda, with Conner Mantz and Andres Almgren linking up.
👊 Plus our Double Trouble segment gets teeth into the big questions: are road racing tactics broken? Does pushing from the front even work anymore?
Running news, YouTube drama, and hard takes on what it all means.

Episode 82 is here and the inaugural World Ultimate Championships delivered.

The boys break down a massive three days of racing in Budapest, with huge prize money, stacked fields and some of the best championship-style racing we’ve seen all year.

👑 Jakob is back — Jakob Ingebrigtsen takes down a loaded 5000m field, closing in 12.6 for the final 100m to beat Cole Hocker and an army of Americans. We discuss how the race played out, why none of us picked him and whether we underestimated just how dangerous Jakob remains over 5K.
💰 World Ultimate Championships — Claudia Kazimierska continues an incredible end to the season, Audrey Werro takes another huge 800m win, Gudaf Tsegay’s rivals are caught sleeping in the women’s 5000m and the men’s 800m produces another chaotic finish. We also give our verdict on the new championship format, the enormous prize money, qualification system and whether World Athletics has finally landed on something that works.
🇦🇺 Cam Myers hypothetical season continues — after his incredible end to the year, we ask whether Cam could have mixed it with Jakob and Hocker in that 5000m final.
🗽 Fifth Avenue Mile — Marco Langon takes a huge win in New York in 3:45, Adam Spencer lands on the podium and Gemma Reekie flies to a course record in the women’s race.
🚴 70.3 World Championships — Dean takes us briefly into the dark side as the Norwegian Method boys Christian Blummenfelt and Gustav Iden feature in another ridiculous triathlon battle.
🇮🇪 Irish racing — Eoin takes us through Ratoath and Charleville Half Marathons as Dublin Marathon preparations begin to get serious, including an impressive first half marathon from Road to Dublin’s Bri.
🇬🇧 Great North Run — one of the biggest half marathons in the world delivers another deep field, with plenty of familiar names further down the results.

Plus Ryan moves approximately 200 metres across East Perth, wheels a wine fridge down the street while carrying cycling shoes, Dean discovers every recovery contraption known to man, Eoin destroys himself doing sprint drills, and the usual Easy Double fact-checking goes about as well as expected.
