This week on the Easy Double Podcast, we’re joined by one of the most trusted and knowledgeable voices in global track & field — Jon Gault.

Fresh off a huge weekend of marathon racing, we kick things off with a deep dive into the Boston Marathon — how the races unfolded, what stood out, and whether the outcomes matched expectations. We then look ahead to the London Marathon, breaking down the elite fields, predicting the winners, and asking who the top British performers might be on the day.

We also get Jon’s perspective on what it’s like covering the sport at the highest level — from reporting on the biggest races in the world to navigating the ever-evolving landscape of athletics media. Naturally, that leads into a conversation around LetsRun, its reputation within the sport, and the balance between reporting, opinion, and controversy.

There’s also a quick-fire round where we put Jon on the spot with everything from favourite meets and dream interviews to Brighton & Hove Albion allegiances and a few curveballs.

If you’re into marathon racing, elite track & field, or just want a behind-the-scenes look at how the biggest stories in the sport are covered — this is a must-listen.
