Episode 73 is here, and while Eoin is off on a road trip, Ryan and Dean have plenty to get through.

We break down an action-packed weekend of athletics, including the Monaco Diamond League, where a world record fell, Agnes Ngetich continued her incredible rise, Emmanuel Wanyonyi produced one of the performances of the year over 1000m, and we discuss what these results mean ahead of a huge championship season. We also cover the Morton Games in Ireland, Eliud Kipchoge's latest marathon appearance in Brazil, and Tom Samuel's decision to leave the NCAA and turn professional.

Then it's all eyes on Project 222.

Josh Kerr has publicly declared his intention to attack Hicham El Guerrouj's iconic mile world record of 3:43.13, aiming to become the first man ever to run 222 seconds for the mile. We discuss just how realistic that target is, whether Yared Nuguse could spoil the party, and make our own predictions for what could be one of the most anticipated races of the season.

As always, there's plenty of training chat, a few laughs along the way, and another edition of Double Trouble to round things off.

Enjoy!

What does it really take to build an Olympic marathoner?

In this episode of the Easy Double Podcast, we're joined by legendary coach Ed Eyestone—two-time Olympian, NCAA champion, and the architect behind one of the most successful collegiate distance running programs in the world. Having coached Olympic marathoners Connor Mantz and Clayton Young, along with Olympic silver medallist Kenneth Rooks, Ed shares the principles that have shaped decades of success at BYU.

Joining Ryan and Dean is coach, Raf , who brings a unique coach-to-coach perspective throughout the conversation. Raf's experience as both an elite athlete and long-time coach allows the discussion to go beyond the usual interview, diving deeper into training methodology, athlete development, the balance between talent and hard work, and the finer details of coaching at the highest level.

Together, we explore Ed's journey from Olympian to one of the most respected coaches in world distance running, discussing his own career, the evolution of his coaching philosophy, lessons from training alongside some of the world's best marathoners, and the mindset required to consistently develop athletes capable of competing on the biggest stage.

In this episode we discuss:

• Ed's journey from athlete to Olympic coach

• Building the BYU distance dynasty

• Coaching Connor Mantz, Clayton Young & Kenneth Rooks

• Talent vs trainability

• Marathon training philosophy

• The importance of belief, culture and consistency

• What everyday runners can learn from elite performers

The lads are back in what was a massive week of running.

We kick things off with Eoin's unforgettable Tour de France experience in Font-Romeu, from roadside crowds and Ben Healy souvenirs to Tommy Foster's viral TV appearance. Back in Perth, Dean's starting to feel like himself again on the track, while Ryan reflects on a breakthrough weekend at the Gold Coast Half Marathon.

On the Gold Coast, Haftu Strintzos shocked everyone by breaking the Australian marathon record in what was only his 3rd attempt over the distance. In the Half, Izzi Batt-Doyle did what she does best and demolished the field.

Over in Eugene at the Pre Classic, the Aussies were on fire as Cam Myers won the Bowerman Mile while also breaking the Australian record for the mile.

Ryan takes us inside every kilometre of his new PB, explaining the race plan, the gamble of latching onto Izzi Batt-Doyle's group, managing the headwind, trusting the heart rate, and the mindset that carried him to a 67:31. We also discuss what the performance says about his future over the marathon, how cycling may have contributed to the comeback, and whether there's even more to come.

We then recap a huge weekend on the Gold Coast, including Haftu Strintzos' sensational Australian marathon record, Izzi Batt-Doyle's amazing win in the half marathon, standout performances across the marathon and half marathon fields, and what made the event so special.

There is a bit of Double Trouble involved with toilet difficulties on course..

Welcome to the 69th episode of the Easy Double Podcast. Just Ryan and Dean this week as Eoin takes some annual leave while he is getting settled in the French Pyrenees.

In a massive show we chat all things Oslo Diamond League: Ethiopia dominate the women's 3000m, teenage sensation Cooper Lutkenhaus dominates the men's 800m taking down some massive names. The men's 5000m didn't disappoint either, with some of the lads making the 13-minute barrier look like a walk in the park.

We chat all things NCAA as they concluded, and the LA Grand Prix.

In running news, we learn that triathlete Alex Yee is set to run the Monaco Diamond League, while Cape Town gets named the 8th World Marathon Major.

All this and so much more in another stacked episode of the Easy Double Podcast.

It's hard to keep up at this stage but the lads are back with more race results. First up is the Paavo Nurmi Games in Finland 🇫🇮 where there was an extremely stacked 5000m where only half the field finished and a deep 1500m.

Next it was the 🇮🇹 Rome Diamond League where M11 Track Club's Georgia Hunter Bell got the win in her season opener while Keely Hodgkinson mixed things up and ran a 400m. In the 5000m, Ethiopia showed their dominance claiming the top 7 spots while Linden Hall from Australia and Sarah Healy from Ireland both got shiny new PBs.

Then to 🇸🇪Stockholm where again the fields didn't disappoint. Young American Cooper Lutkenhaus got the win over a star studded line up while another young gun Audrey Werro got a shock win over Keely Hodgkinson in the women's 800m, clocking the third fastest time ever. To conclude the event, Yared Nuguse stole Cam Myers' spotlight and out-kicked the young Australian in an enthralling men's 1500m.

You think that's all but it's not. The lads preview the 🇳🇴 Oslo Diamond League where again the fields are ridiculously deep, with the highlight event being the Dream Mile.

Eoin talks us through his disappointing 5000m on the track where he learned a lesson or two but was able to take the positives.

📺 In YouTube Diaries we give you guys a heads up on Team Makou's channel as they release a teaser on a series following Ellis Cross's build to the European Marathon later in the summer.

👊 In Double Trouble the lads take aim at head coach ChatGPT and while coach GPT can be helpful, he will never make it as a top coach.

We've got results from all around the world, starting with the 🇦🇺 Launceston Running Festival, where Australians lit up the roads of Tasmania with some all-comers records. On the other side of Australia, in the gold mining town of Leonora, Pete Bol takes the win and a nugget of gold in what has to be one of the most unique races in the world. Pete also drops by to chat all things Golden Gift and his upcoming track season.

On the other side of the world in 🇮🇪 Dublin, Ireland, one of the biggest women's-only races took place as the VHI Women's Mini Marathon took over the city with over 24,000 women taking part.

👊 A massive downhill road race in Madrid gets this week's Double Trouble treatment, as the lads struggle to comprehend why this is even a thing.
