Nächsten Montag beginnt die Leichtathletik-EM in Birmingham – und Felix und Max stimmen euch ein. Diesmal nicht einfach Meldeliste rauf und runter: Die beiden hangeln sich am Zeitplan entlang, Tag für Tag, vom 800-Meter-Vorlauf am Montagmorgen bis zum Marathon-Sonntag. So wisst ihr genau, wann ihr wo einschalten müsst.
Vorher gibt es aber noch einiges aufzuarbeiten. In Oordegem läuft Maximilian Rath als U18-Athlet die 5000 Meter unter 14 Minuten, Adrian Engstler knackt erstmals die 1:46 über 800 Meter und Alina Reh meldet sich nach langer Pause auf der Bahn zurück. Tobi Tent jagt derweil weiter der Kadernorm hinterher. Und bei den Commonwealth Games dominiert Josh Kerr das Meilen-Finale nach Belieben – lässt die EM aber aus. Max hat dazu eine klare Meinung.
Dann der große EM-Check: Was ist für Alex Stepanov über 800 Meter drin? Wie fit ist Jakob Ingebrigtsen, der per Wildcard über 5000 Meter startet – und welcher Rennverlauf bringt Mo und Flo Bremm aufs Podest? Dazu die 800 Meter der Frauen mit Smilla Kolbe und Majtie Kolberg, Gesa Krauses Griff nach Gold im Hindernis-Finale, Robert Farkens Medaillenchance über 1500 Meter und ein Marathon-Wochenende mit ordentlich Höhenmetern, bei dem das deutsche Männer-Team auf Mannschaftsgold schielt.
Am Ende wird es ernst: Felix und Max loggen ihre Medaillen-Predictions ein. Und Max legt eine Wette auf den Tisch – holt Läuferdeutschland zehn Medaillen, läuft er die längste Distanz beim Innsbruck Alpine Trail. Bei vier Goldenen sogar die vollen 112 Kilometer. Ihr wisst also, wofür ihr die Daumen drückt. Vorher sehen wir uns am Mittwoch um 21 Uhr beim Live-Fantasy-Draft auf Twitch, und ab dem Wochenende läuft die tägliche EM-Coverage auf Instagram.

“You can’t recreate the feeling that Josh created for me as a coach in any synthetic way. It had to have been done the way that he did it.” My guest for today’s episode is Danny Mackey, the head coach of the Brooks Beasts Track Club. Almost two weeks before we recorded this, Josh Kerr ran 3:42.66 at the London Diamond League and took 47 hundredths of a second off Hicham El Guerrouj’s mile world record — a mark that had been on the books for 27 years. Danny is the guy who wrote the training for it. He’s been coaching Josh for eight years now and this year he’s also got Brandon Miller running 1:42.19 to win in London seventy minutes before Josh’s race. It was an epic day for the Brooks Beasts. This one is a coach’s-eye reconstruction of how a world record actually gets built. We go back to the workouts in Albuquerque in 2024 when Danny first told Josh he thought the record was there. We get into the PowerPoint pitch to Brooks. Danny walks through how he writes training. We talk about the ninety-minute whiteboard meeting where a few grown men argued over tenths of a second for pacing and what Danny was thinking standing trackside with 350 meters to go. And finally, how this has transcended beyond the running community. The best part comes toward the end when he reveals who this was all for. We last had him on in 2023 after the World Championships after Josh won gold, so it was only fitting that we got him back on after another momentous occasion.
