    That video of his father celebrating but as you say, being a consummate professional and still commentating the race was amazing.
    I'd love to see more middle distance content, I'm much more into long distance but I'd like to change that.

    One of the best athlete interviews I've seen! Almost as flawless as Wightman's championship race! Well Done, Andy Baddeley!! Well done!! I know she's an American, and still a college student, but a sit-down with Katelyn Tuohy should be on your 'bucket list' and North Carolina would welcome The Running Channel team.

    I know it's an old one but an interview with Steve Jones breaking the world record for marathon in the early 1980's would give an insight into how good he was and the comparison with training methods today..Jones was an absolute beast and also the difference in shoe tech...his times from 40 years ago on a British front would be beating all today and getting his thoughts why British mens marathon running at elite level outside of Farah has struggled to move forward...great interview with Wightman

    Beth Potter would be great. I would ask her how she can improve her running times even when she added swim and bike training to her program. She is the new world champion in Triathlon and race favourite for the Olympic Gold in Paris. In 2021 she also broke the 5000m world record at a non-ratified event. Her time of 14.41 was set after she started triathlon.

    It is a bit of a shame that Jake's been struggling with injuries since, so we never really got the sequel to that race. I think Jakob worked on his weaknesses after this, and was on a whole new level this season. I think Jake and josh are great, but I do feel a little sorry for Jakob and hope that he gets to show what he is good for at Worlds next time around.

      @@garymanders1273 I don't buy the narrative that the virus was just an excuse. Jakob's speed was definitely a main contribution to the outcome in the 2022 final, I don't think that was the full story this year. I don't entirely agree that he is the pretentious ass that a lot of people think he is either. He could be better at acknowledging other runners performance for sure. When asked he tends to present a self assessment of why he failed. I think his objectivity is interpreted as arrogance by most people. If doubling 1500m and 5000m was the issue the last event should be the one to suffer the most. I think the qualifying rounds are more likely to help rather than hinder Jakob. In theory it should be more of an issue for the sit and kickers who focused more on speed rather than capacity.
      Most likely the reality of it all is somewhere in the middle ground between what the fanboys and the haters believe. I guess I lean towards the fanboys and you lean towards the haters.
