Easy Double podcast

Welcome back to the Easy Double Pocast for episode 57!
The World Indoors delivered some serious moments and we've got it all covered — the middle distance events were stacked and we break down who stood out, who surprised us, and how the Irish, UK and Aussie contingent got on.
🇮🇪 Over in Irealnd the Dunboyne 10km went down in Ireland and we've got the results.
🏃🏻‍♂️🚲 Training talk is in good form too — all three of us are feeling fit and the sessions are starting to show it.
This weekend is a big one on the global racing calendar. The Maurie Plant Meet brings the heat in Australia, Berlin's half marathon is shaping up to be a cracker, and Sound Running's The Ten, on of the deepest 10,000m track races is turning heads stateside — we break down who to watch for.
📺 YouTube Diaries is back — Jimmy Whelan is shaking things up with Salomon as Clayton Young makes a big move, ditching ASICS for Brooks as he builds for Boston
As always there's a bit of waffle along the way!

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.

London Marathon is now just seven weeks away, and the build continues with three of the fastest men set to toe the line in April.
Ryan is joined again by Tim Vincent (2:09), Jake Smith (2:11) and Jake Barraclough (2:14) to check in on how training is progressing as the block begins to get serious.
Between the three athletes there’s an average marathon PB of 2:11:52.
In this episode we cover:
• Accountability check-ins from Episode 1 – mobility, nutrition and heat training
• Tim Vincent’s 61:17 half marathon at Bashir’s Run (#13 Australian all-time)
• Whether that performance changes confidence or race expectations for London
• How elite athletes use half marathons within a marathon build (taper, fuelling, carb loading)
• Jake Barraclough’s Tokyo Marathon DNF and what really happened at 30km
• Jake Smith preparing for the Bath Half Marathon, where he returns as defending champion

We also answer listener questions on:
• Brutally honest thoughts on PRF
• What elite runners listen to on long runs (or if they listen to anything at all)
• Bath Half predictions and whether Jake Smith is fitter than last year
• How elites actually set marathon race pace
• Whether good sessions late in the block change your goals
Finally we finish with a London Marathon readiness score, with each athlete giving an honest percentage of where their fitness currently sits.
The road to London continues.
