    LONDON CALLING EP3: Ran To Japan, Jake Smith & Tim Vincent

    Jake Barraclough missed the start of this one… still sat in the sauna after getting caught out by daylight savings kicking in back in the UK but not in Japan 😅 Once we got him on (mid-sweat, still recovering), we got straight into a proper London Calling catch-up with 3 weeks to go. We unpacked Jake Smith’s recent half marathon block — from Bath to Berlin — including front-running battles, getting “sat on” for 10 miles, and what it’s like when it all blows apart in the final kilometre. Then contrasting that with Berlin, where it was a no-pressure, no-taper effort — racing in sunglasses, chatting mid-race, and running just seconds off peak shape at a much lower heart rate. The takeaway? Fitness is in a very good place at exactly the right time. Tim Vincent then looks ahead to his upcoming 10km in Lille — a late entry into a seriously stacked field. We get into why it matters, the mindset going into a race like that, and how it fits into a marathon build. There’s a really honest discussion around respecting the level, racing properly vs “fudging it”, and what a performance here could mean heading into London. Jake Barraclough brings the chaos — from sauna mishaps to a much more serious insight into the last few months. He opens up on dealing with a long-term back issue, running through pain, and ultimately having to step back and rebuild. There’s some really valuable perspective here on injury management, biomechanics, and how quickly things can shift when consistency is taken away. Elsewhere, we get into: Marathon month reality — 3 weeks to go and it starting to feel realLong runs together in London (and why Bushy/Richmond might be the best spots in the city)The mental shift from racing blocks → full marathon focusTaper nerves, start line anxiety, and just trying to get there healthyLondon is close now… and for all three, the paths there couldn’t look more different. We'll be back, the week of the race to capture the lads final thoughts and get into the race plans and stratergies!

    Andreas Almgren: Breaking European Records & Medalling on the World Stage

    We’re joined by one of the most versatile and dominant distance runners in the world right now — Sweden’s Andreas Almgren. A two-time European record holder (5000m – 12:44, Half Marathon – 58:41), former European 10km record holder (26:45 x2), 10-time national champion, and World Championship bronze medallist over 10,000m — Almgren has quietly built one of the most impressive CVs in global distance running. But what makes this episode so fascinating is how he’s done it. In this conversation, we go deep into: Transitioning from 1:45 800m runner → world-class 5k / 10k / half marathon athlete Breaking multiple European records across distances in a single season Winning a World Championship medal in Tokyo and handling the pressure on the biggest stage Training largely solo — and what that looks like day-to-day physically and mentally How he periodises training across events from 3k → half marathon Key sessions, lactate control, and what underpins his consistency We also explore the Swedish philosophy behind it all — from Fika and Lagom to a lifestyle built around balance, longevity, and performance. Plus: Shoe rotation (and any AlphaFly 4 insight 👀) Nutrition, recovery, and supplements (Nomio vs bicarb) Whether the marathon is on the horizon And the biggest mistakes he sees everyday runners making This is a masterclass in modern distance running — from one of the most intelligent and composed athletes in the sport.
