Summary
Eoin gets the call-up! 🇮🇪 A big week for Easy Double as Eoin drops some unexpected news—he's officially been selected to represent Ireland over 5K! 🇮🇪 After hitting the qualifying standards, Eoin gets his first senior Irish singlet and will line up at the new international 5K in Larne alongside an Irish team featuring Jack Moran, Eoghan McIlhenny, Colm Rooney and Tony McCambridge. We get into all of that, plus: 🇮🇪 Eoin's Irish call-up —how the selection came about, why he thought the opportunity had disappeared after Nationals, and what it means to finally get the chance to represent his country. 🔥 Eoin Recaps his 3000m PB in 8:12 A quick trip to the UK for BMC provided the perfect opportunity to cash in on the Font Romeu training camp. 🏃♂️ European Championships Preview — The long awaited return of the Norwegian King Jakob Ingebrigsten, is he back back as he races the 5000m. Including a look at some of the other start fields. 🚶 Race walking doping drama —we revisit the Commonwealth Games 10,000m walk after Kenyan athlete Stephen Ndangiri's anti-doping case following an out-of-competition test ahead of Glasgow. 💉 Why would a race walker even take EPO? After giving race walking a hard time last week, we attempt to understand just how much physiology matters once everyone at the top level has mastered the technique. 🤖 Ryan's relationship with ChatGPT gets another mention as the boys wonder whether it's time for a full debrief on his latest training. 😂 Plus the usual Easy Double tangents, questionable athletics knowledge and Eoin discovering that severe sleep deprivation might actually improve his podcasting.
