Appropriate fish, roads to Oregon, and Oz-esque winds: we're back ahead of the summer to end all summers

Send us a text

After a brief sabbatical (Claire was feeling a bit swamped), we're back - and all roads lead to Eugene. The Worlds are a week and a bit away, with Commonwealths and Euros looming large, and the British squad has been announced. It's big, it's teeming with talent, and it's getting us as extremely excited as we always are for anything involving supremely fit individuals running, throwing, and jumping.

Jody and Bayo were at the trials, so report back on a gusty and eventful couple of days, before the team delve into the 78 athletes named for Oregon's Greatest Show.

Daryl dazzled, middle distance running was straight flames, and we're obsessed with Max Burgin. Plus ça change.

Anyway: it's terrific to be back. We've missed it, and we've missed you. 

Let us know your thoughts in all the usual places: your podcast provider, Twitter (@BackstraightB & @Claire_GThomas) and Instagram (@backstraightboyspodcast & @clairegthomas).

Back soon with a Worlds preview plus more information on the fun collab we're doing with World Athletics throughout that big meet across the pond. 

J, B & C xoxo
