  Ready, Set, Glasgow: Success Eduan - Gold medals, midwifery and the next sprinting generation

  Jul 27, 202632 min

  Two-time European under-23 gold medallist Success Eduan is a fascinating final guest to conclude England Athletics Podcast's "Ready, Set, Glasgow" series, in connection with the Commonwealth Games. The 21-year-old won 200m and 4x100m titles in Bergen last year and is also the reigning UK 200m champion, but there are so many other things that you might not know about her. Success is a midwifery student who initially grew up in Spain, before moving to Manchester. At first, she focused on swimming, and her running talent was spotted by a teacher when she sprinted the whole way during a cross country race.

  Ready, Set, Glasgow: Scott Beattie - Starting out in football, loving coffee & not overtraining

  Jul 24, 202636 min

  International distance runner Scott Beattie is the latest guest on the England Athletics Podcast's "Ready, Set, Glasgow" series, inspired by the upcoming Commonwealth Games, in which he'll compete in the 10,000m. The 27-year old talks to co-hosts Dan Pembroke - a two-time Paralympic javelin champion - and athletics commentator Alex Seftel about his background in football, getting the workload just right in training and what inspired his love of good coffee. Scott played for Sunderland in his early teenage years, but got into running at Morpeth Harriers after being released by the Black Cats academy. He also reflects on his love of live music and the adjustment of leaving the North East to move to the USA at the age of 18 to study at the University of Tulsa in Oklahoma.

  Ready, Set, Glasgow: Adam Gemili - Coaching footballers, facing Bolt & relay dramas

  Jul 2, 202641 min

  The recently-retired world, European and Commonwealth medallist sprinter Adam Gemili is the first guest on the England Athletics Podcast's "Ready, Set, Glasgow" series, inspired by the upcoming Commonwealth Games. Co-presenters Dan Pembroke - a two-time Paralympic javelin champion - and athletics commentator Alex Seftel ask Gemili to reminisce about his favourite moments in his career. They also discuss his return to Chelsea Football Club as a speed coach - a full-circle moment for the 32-year-old - who switched to athletics full-time prior to his Olympic debut in 2012. Gemili feels that he can debunk the classic social media-driven myth that Premier League footballers can run just as fast as Usain Bolt, who he has stood next to on the start line. Who knows where his new coaching career could take him, if other clubs and other sports show the same respect for sprinting knowledge.

  Ready, Set, Glasgow: Dan Pembroke - overcoming sight loss, a second chance & being a dad

  Jun 29, 202621 min

  The England Athletics Podcast has relaunched with a new series called "Ready, Set, Glasgow", inspired by the upcoming Commonwealth Games. The show is newly available to watch on YouTube, while also being on audio platforms Spotify, Apple Podcasts and SoundCloud. Two-time Paralympic javelin champion and F13 world record holder Dan Pembroke joins regular host and athletics commentator Alex Seftel as a co-presenter for the series. In this introductory episode, Pembroke explains how he was diagnosed with a rare condition as a child, which led to the deterioration of his eyesight. As a young athlete, he was a rising talent in javelin, until a serious ligament injury hampered his ambition to qualify for the London 2012 Olympic Games. Unsure of how much time he would have left to see the world, Pembroke went travelling, taking on backpacker jobs abroad like working on farms. When he returned to the UK, he worked as a sports massage therapist, but the javelin itch returned. Para athletics gave him a second chance to achieve his dreams and he never looked back. In the last two years since his Paralympic title, Pembroke has started brewing his own beer called Paris Gold. He has also become a dad for the first time.
