    🎙️ Trackstaa Podcast | Is Issy Boffey the Next Big Name in the 800m?

    Lucy Jones and Richard Morrell are back on the Trackstaa Podcast breaking down a huge weekend of indoor racing at the Boston John Thomas Terrier Classic and the Millrose Games, and Izzy Boffey was the star of the show. Boffey smashed the women’s 800m in 1:57.43 — her first indoor sub-2, a Welsh record, and one of the fastest indoor 800m times ever by a British athlete. Lucy and Richard chat about her smart race, powerful finishing kick, and how she left the field behind. Lucy shares personal insight into Boffey’s journey, reflecting on their Birmingham University days and the long road to this breakthrough. With European titles already on her CV, the big question now is: has Izzy Boffey arrived as a serious 800m contender? They also cover Ellie Baker’s return to form, Gemma Finch and Shannon Flockhart’s strong mile performances, and why early-season meets like this are perfect for building confidence.

    🎙️ Trackstaa Podcast | New Balance Grand Prix Record-Breaking Action & London Marathon Preview

    Rich Morrell and Lucy Jones sit down to unpack an absolutely wild weekend of athletics, starting with the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix, where records were falling left, right, and centre. They get into Josh Hoy’s ridiculous indoor 800m world record, how it actually played out, and why it felt inevitable once the pace wound up. There’s also plenty of love for Hobbs Kessler, whose calm, metronomic run to a 2000m world record had everyone watching in disbelief. Add in Jake Wightman breaking the British indoor record, and it’s a reminder of just how deep and competitive middle-distance running is right now. On the women’s side, the chat turns to a stacked 3000m, with standout runs from Elle St. Pierre and Linden Hall, plus a wider look at the young athletes starting to mix it with the established names. Rich and Lucy also talk through why athletes like Izzy Boffey and Ellie Baker are becoming serious players in the women’s 800m. To wrap things up, attention shifts to the London Marathon, with a proper look at the loaded elite fields and why the hype is more than justified this year. With records being broken, careers taking off, and races delivering every weekend, this episode captures why track and field is in such a good place right now.
