Another HUGE week on the Easy Double Podcast 🔥 If you’re new here, make sure you follow the show and get in touch via @easydoublepod or [email protected]. Plenty to unpack this week, headlined by Marugame Half Marathon, the Millrose Games, and the John Terrier Classic.We dive deep into one of the wildest weekends of indoor track in recent memory — from Sam Ruthe doing genuinely absurd things as a 16-year-old, to the prestige and chaos of Millrose at The Armory in New York. At Millrose we cover: Women’s 3000m and World Indoor standard chat Men’s 800m and “who the hell is Colin Sahlman?” The Men’s 2 Mile (not quite the WR hype… but still tasty) Women’s Wanamaker Mile, with Jess just a second off her own NR The Men’s Wanamaker Mile — Cam Myers is HIM, Yared, destruction, and what it all means for Ollie We also break down Marugame Half, a race stacked with Australian history, brutal wind conditions, and big performances — including Liam Boudin climbing the all-time list and another elite run from Izzi. London Marathon elite fields announced - CRAZY Athletes suspended for gambling — where’s the line and what does it mean for the sport? Including an indoor 1500m race for Eoin and how the lads are balancing travel, racing, and consistency. What we’ve been watching, what’s worth your time, and what absolutely isn’t. This week’s offender: people walking in the bike lane when there’s a perfectly good path right next to it — Swan River edition. Easy Double singlets: materials, pricing, huge thanks to Bix, and how/when you can get one Hall of Fame: run a PB in the singlet and you’re in Nomio partnership updates and upcoming interviews As always, thanks for listening — rate, review, share with a mate, and we’ll see you next week 👊 🏃‍♂️ Results Rundown📰 Running News📈 Training Weeks📺 YouTube Diaries😤 Double Trouble📣 Announcements

We kick things off this week with a recap of some indoor action. We start in Boston where Cam Myers wins the 3000m in 7:28, while there are also some very strong runs from the Irish duo Andrew Coscoran and Nick Griggs. In other events, Americans run riot with Josh Hoey and Hobbs Kessler running record-breaking times. Previews: The Boston Marathon releases their elite fields and they do not disappoint, with top Americans and Aussies hitting the start line. The Marugame Half Marathon in Japan releases their elite fields, with a lot of athletes heading to Boston using this as a warm-up race. Double Trouble is headlined by Turkey's attempt to sign Kenyans to their country—yes, they are trying to buy Kenyans to run for them. We discuss more running news and get an update on the lads' training. @easydoublepod [email protected]

We kick things off with reflections post-trip, including how Eoin’s Valencia result is settling with a bit of distance from race day, and what recovery actually looks like when the fitness is there but the body’s still catching up. Running results & news this week include: The Doha Marathon (Jan 16) — big names, a fast winning time, and a massive prize pool (€250k / ~$410k AUD) raising questions about where road racing is heading. Cam Myers opening his season indoors at the University of Washington Preview with a 3:49.81 mile — and why skipping World Cross might actually make sense. Mark English breaking the Irish 600m record in 1:15.80… and the noticeable absence of his ASICS kit. Ruthe at the Potts Classic (Hastings) running 1:45.86 for 800m, with Sam Tanner close behind — and more kit changes raising eyebrows. A frank discussion on Zac Faccioni being dropped from OAC Oceania — short contracts, injury risk, and whether brands are failing athletes by not investing long-term. Previews: New Balance Grand Prix — Jan 24 Dr Sanders Invitational — Jan 25 Training weeks & real life: New shoes in the rotation Feeling flat and fatigued Under-fuelling chat (and why it sneaks up on you) As always: honest takes, strong opinions, and a look ahead at what’s coming next. @easydoublepod [email protected]

This week on the Easy Double Podcast, we sit down with Nomio to properly unpack one of the most talked-about performance products in running right now — what it is, how it works, who it’s actually for, and how runners can use it in the real world. Leading that conversation is Evan Jager — Olympic silver medallist, North American record holder in the steeplechase, and now Athlete Relations Manager at Nomio — bringing a rare perspective that bridges elite performance and practical application. We cover:• What Nomio does • When and why runners might use it• How it compares to — and can be stacked with — bicarbonate• Side effects, recovery, sleep, and day-to-day use• What the current science says and where future research is headed And, of course, we couldn’t resist touching on Evan’s own career — from Olympic silver in Rio to the decision to step away from professional racing and move into this next chapter of the sport. A clear, honest conversation designed to help runners make better-informed decisions about performance nutrition — with elite insight along the way.

We kick things off with the Australian Cross Country Selection Trials under the lights at Stromlo.
