A month on from winning gold at the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham, Ireland's Mark English joins the podcast to talk through his 2026 season - the best of his career so far.

Andreas Almgren | European 10,000m champion
Wednesday, September 16, 2026 • Duration 54:06
European 10,000m champion Andreas Almgren takes time out to speak to Podium, courtesy of sponsors Maurten, ahead of the World Road Running Championships in Copenhagen.

The Swedish athlete talks to Podium about his unlikely move to distance events having started in football and the 800m, how his mentality is one of his super strengths, training with Jakob Ingebrigtsen and about his build-up to New York.
