Each week we break down the world of distance running — from training, racing and shoe tech to the stories shaping the sport. Along the way we’re joined by elite athletes, coaches and personalities from across the global running scene. Expect honest conversations, deep dives into performance, a few questionable theories, and plenty of banter from the easy miles. Serious about running, not too serious about ourselves.

Ryan is back in Perth but unfortunately brings an injury update, with a suspected femoral neck stress reaction putting the brakes on his marathon build. Meanwhile, Dean finally pins a number on again—and casually runs 14:52 at parkrun on his return to racing. Then it's into a huge week of European athletics: 🇳🇴 Jakob Ingebrigtsen is back. After all the uncertainty around his fitness, Jakob produces a brilliant tactical 5,000m victory—and suddenly the Jakob vs Josh Kerr conversation feels very alive again. 🇸🇪 Andreas Almgren's incredible 10,000m. Forget waiting for a kick—Almgren takes on a stacked field from the front, runs 27:23 and completely dismantles the race. We break down the tactics and some inside insight Ryan picked up from Jordan Donnelly before the championship. - 🇮🇪 Mark English finally gets his European gold , delivering another tactical masterclass in the 800m. 🇮🇹 Nadia Battocletti dominates the 5,000m and 10,000m double and further establishes herself as one of the very best distance runners in the world. 🤯 One of the most unpredictable men's 1500m finals you'll see, with Stefan Nillessen taking gold and Andrew Coscoran producing a huge finish for his first major medal. 🏃 Championship marathon carnage on an incredibly tough Birmingham course. 🆚 We debate Josh Kerr's decision to skip Europeans and whether his selective racing approach could ultimately hurt his legacy compared with Jakob's extraordinary championship record. 💉 Plus, another doping case hits athletics and we discuss what it means when athletes are caught through biological passport abnormalities. 🎥 Ryan and De…","meta_description":"It's a bumper episode this week as we break down all the action from the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham —plus plenty happening closer to h…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":6371,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/easy-double-podcast-7234042/episodes/edp78-jakob-is-back-almgren-10-000m-masterclass-dean-makes-his-return-to-racing/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/easy-double-podcast-7234042/edp78-jakob-is-back-almgren-10-000m-masterclass-dean-makes-his-return-to-racing.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
