🎙️ Trackstaa Podcast | Is Issy Boffey the Next Big Name in the 800m?
45m
Lucy Jones and Richard Morrell are back on the Trackstaa Podcast breaking down a huge weekend of indoor racing at the Boston John Thomas Terrier Classic and the Millrose Games, and Izzy Boffey was the star of the show.
Boffey smashed the women’s 800m in 1:57.43 — her first indoor sub-2, a Welsh record, and one of the fastest indoor 800m times ever by a British athlete. Lucy and Richard chat about her smart race, powerful finishing kick, and how she left the field behind.
Lucy shares personal insight into Boffey’s journey, reflecting on their Birmingham University days and the long road to this breakthrough. With European titles already on her CV, the big question now is: has Izzy Boffey arrived as a serious 800m contender?
They also cover Ellie Baker’s return to form, Gemma Finch and Shannon Flockhart’s strong mile performances, and why early-season meets like this are perfect for building confidence.
