💪 Wall balls: 1, Elliot Giles: 0 (for now).

Why a world record holder is swapping the track for Hyrox, and why he’s “coming back for more” 👇

“We are desperate for funding to get a new track. We don’t have a competition license.”

Cornwall AC, England Athletics & Athletics Weekly’s Club of the Month, share the challenges they face due to the condition of their track.

The club, which played a key role in Molly Caudery’s youth career, is now hoping to raise funds for a new track where its athletes can train and compete 🏃‍♂️

Sad to hear sports journo giant David Miller has died aged 91. A well-known football writer, he also covered athletics a lot and wrote Seb Coe's original autobiography.

@albertostretti Another amazing track! ❤️

🔴 What’s the best track you’ve ever visited?

Mine involves cinders, a miniature oval next to a hotel in the Alps and a love of tracks that started on a lumpy school grass oval.

🏟️ Some people chase sunsets. I chase athletics tracks.

From a lumpy 300m grass oval in Blackpool to a tiny track in the Alps, confessions of a track fetishist 👇

Today marks seven years since Eliud Kipchoge went sub-two in Vienna ⏱️

Sawe has since done it officially in London, but I still think Vienna was the more monumental moment.

"You can't run 30 hours a week, you'll destroy your body!" 😅

Ben Dhiman told me how he trains for UTMB, and it involves a lot more ski mountaineering than you'd expect.

Jeffrey Archer, who first appeared in the pages of @athleticsweekly on June 22, 1957, as a promising teenage sprinter, has died aged 86.

The novelist remained busy until his final days, appearing on TV this month to promote his last book.

🐕 Two years ago I bought a canicross harness and set out to turn my cockapoo into a training partner.

But unfortunately I found out he'd rather sniff a hedge 🌿. New piece: https://t.co/m91RIckQ7m

@frodshamlarkins @AthleticsImages Did the results make the pages of AW at the time!?

70th. birthday shout for double Olympic champion and multi world record breaker Sebastian Coe, my photo. shows Seb. training in the Peak District in 1979 @AthleticsWeekly

[jack buckner @jackrbuckner]

for anyone into athletics and middle distance running - this is quite brilliant @Jason_AW - I was lucky enough to get a view from the track for some of these - always a significant distance behind - @sebcoe - a quite remarkable runner !

"He was just the next guy." Josh Kerr on Jakob Ingebrigtsen. "It comes from a place of insecurity." Same rivalry, different quote.

Athletics finally learned to talk trash. The women's 800m still hasn't — and I asked them why.

@conrad_truedson Of course, unforgettable!

Cowards. Clip farming. A war of words that went out live on BBC radio.

The strange history of trash talk in athletics — and why the women mostly skip it.

Berlin Marathon wasn't easy for Brits to watch this morning but here's a round-up of what happened.

26 years ago today: Cathy Freeman, 110,000 flashbulbs capturing the moment, one Olympic Stadium in Sydney — and me filing this report on deadline as it happened. Some things you never forget. 🇦🇺

Beaten in Copenhagen this weekend. Still one of the most compelling runners in the sport.

Why a bad day for Jakob Ingebrigtsen is more interesting than most people's best 👇
