Jake Wightman

It's a jam packed ultimate recap episode! We kick it off with an indepth discussion about World Athletic's Ultimate Championships and its impact on the sports. We cover New York City Grand Prix with Sage Hurta-Klecker's big W and Eric Holt's duel with Jake Wightman. We also talk a bit about Fred Kerley's big day and Sydney Mclaughlin's impressive open 400m as well. We jump into some NCAA Championship recap including the men and women's distance events and also get into the European Champs a bit. We live react to Jakob Ingebrigtsen's 1500m and earning a triple double gold. I probably am forgetting even more, so check out the episode and enjoy!

We just wrapped up a jam-packed weekend with track and field taking place in Eugene with the NCAA Championships, Portland for the Portland Track Festival, Rome for the European Championships and New York City for the NYC Grand Prix.

NYC GRAND PRIX

Lots of action to recap including Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone giving the 400m American record a scare; Noah Lyles clocked a 19.77 into the wind, Eric Holt goes viral after taking 2022 world champion Jake Wightman to the line in the 1500m, Elaine Thompson Herah may be seriously injured after pulling up after the 100m. But the biggest story was 2022 World champion Fred Kerley and his sponsor Asics decided to part ways. Kerley came out onto the track wearing a competitor's product. Kerley did not end up racing after slipping in the blocks twice. He was not disqualified but elected not to race.

NCAA Championships

From McKenzie Long and Parker Valby to Shane Cohen and Parker Wolfe, we look at some of the collegiate stars who could be poised for a breakthrough to make the U.S. Olympic team in just a few weeks.

Happy New Year! The women's record goes again, Jake Wightman wins ParkRace, we talk parkwalker feelings, we dream of seals, plus Nicola and Danny did the same parkrun twice.

To end 2022 on a perfect note, we're joined by the 1500m World Champion Jake Wightman!

When Jake isn't winning gold medals, and making Great Britain proud, you can find him doing a lovely Park Run in Bushy Park (just a convenient 200m from his house!)

Jake is an incredible runner and motivator, and he will definitely inspire you to go for a run or a nap...

I’m excited to share the recording from my live show in New York City this past Saturday with reigning world 1500m champion Jake Wightman of Great Britain. This past summer Jake pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the year, taking down Olympic champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen to capture his first world title. Jake, who is 28 years old and a native of Scotland, is also a Commonwealth Games and European Championships medalist, as well as a three-time champion at the 5th Avenue Mile in New York.

In this conversation, we talked about the world 1500m final and the tactics he used to take the win. Jake told me about what it was like to come off the high of that world title and still having to race in the Commonwealth Games and European Championships in the weeks that came after it. We discussed pressure as a privilege, what it’s like going into races now as a favorite rather than an underdog, and how he’s learned to appreciate his accomplishments over the years. Jake also talked about growing up as the son of two accomplished runners, being coached by his dad and the dynamics of their relationship, and a lot more.
