The Sub Sub-Elite Club Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Welcome to episode 1 of the Sub Sub-Elite Club, a new podcast by 3 runners on the cusp of making it to the sub-elites... but not quite.

This week you get a quick introduction into the 3 of us (Ben Di Salvo, Dylan Naylor and Dan Soltys) before we delve into our training weeks, discuss the week's running news, and finish off with our strava wanker and question of the week segments.

In this week's episode, the boys recap their training weeks before delving into a wide range of topics: is strava premium worth your £3.50 a month, how can we run more like the Kenyans, and how on earth did the Bath Half Marathon end up as strava wanker of the week?

In episode 3 of the sub sub-elite club podcast, the lads cover their training weeks, dive into the results across the distance running world, and cover the usual segments.

Along the way, there's some healthy debate. Why have British Athletics been putting themselves in the headlines again this week? Why are all runfluencers suddenly running 150 mile weeks? And what do we think of the real runners who are strava doping?

Ben and Dylan are back for week 4 of the pod. This week,  sub-31 guy and fellow UK Armed Forces runner Callum O’Neill drops in to fill for Dan while he is away at sea for the week.

Training week recaps, running news roundup, and the usual ‘standing up for what is right’ in the world of sub sub-elite running.
