Jake’s back and joins Rich to help dissect the key moments from the Eugene Diamond League meeting, which featured Keely Hodgkinson and Georgia Hunter Bell in action.
Keely was competing despite a fall in training in the days leading up to Pre - but Jake’s backing the Olympic champion to bounce back quickly after suffering a defeat to Lilian Odira.
There's reflection on a brilliant win for Nikki Hiltz and a rare loss for Faith Kipyegon, a brief look ahead to the Monaco Diamond League and the pro runner’s perspective on the focus on altitude - with plenty of talk about it surrounding England’s World Cup match with Mexico.

With Rich away on holiday, Hannah’s roped in husband, former British champion and full-time athletics coach Luke Gunn to review the British Championships in Birmingham, after Luke helped guide Sarah Calvert, Issy Boffey and Will Battershill to medals.
Places for the European Championships were also up for grabs and there were plenty of talking points - from Keely Hodgkinson’s injury scare in the 400m (she has since said she left the Champs “healthy”) to the latest in the Amy Hunt v Dina Asher-Smith rivalry.

Great Britain and Scotland's Megan Keith joins us ahead of the UK Athletics Championships in Birmingham, where the 24-year-old will be back to target another European medal this summer - a few weeks after another home event at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.
Megan's been in terrific form in 2026, breaking the Scottish record at the Diamond League meeting in Oslo and impressing with a third place finish at the New York City Half Marathon March.
It's been great progress from the Scot, who's bounced back from injury heartbreak at the Paris Olympic Games to establish herself as one of Britain's most exciting endurance athletes on the circuit.
