Über den Podcast
A running podcast hosted by Ryan, Dean and Eoin — three sub-elite runners and training partners based in Perth, Australia / Dublin, Ireland. Each week we break down the world of distance running — from training, racing and shoe tech to the stories shaping the sport. Along the way we’re joined by elite athletes, coaches and personalities from across the global running scene. Expect honest conversations, deep dives into performance, a few questionable theories, and plenty of banter from the easy miles. Serious about running, not too serious about ourselves. Welcome to the Easy Double

This week we're joined by Steve Gravina, Clinical Director at Front Runner Physiotherapy, who brings over 18 years of experience working with athletes, including eight years in elite AFL with the West Coast Eagles.
For anyone serious about their running, this is an episode well worth your time.
Having both spent far too much time on Steve's treatment table over the past 12 months, Ryan and Dean take the opportunity to pick his brains on just about everything runners should understand about injuries, rehabilitation and, most importantly, how to avoid ending up injured in the first place.
Some of the highlights from the conversation:
🦴 Bone stress injuries & returning to running – Why bone injuries can take weeks to reveal themselves, the dangers of progressing too quickly and how to safely rebuild training without risking another setback.
🚦 Niggle or injury? – How do you know when discomfort is a normal part of training versus a warning sign that something isn't right? Steve shares a practical framework runners can use to assess their symptoms.
📈 Training load & injury prevention – Why gradually increasing mileage isn't necessarily enough to protect you, how accumulated fatigue catches up with runners and why recovery is just as important as the training itself.
🏋️ Strength training for runners – How often should we be in the gym? How heavy should we lift? And what does an effective strength programme actually look like for someone whose priority is running?
🧠 The psychology of injury – A fascinating discussion on how prolonged injuries can change the way our brain processes pain, why pain doesn't always mean ongoing tissue damage and the mental challenges of being sidelined.
👟 Super shoes & changing injury patterns – Steve shares some interesting observations from the clinic about an apparent increase in bone stress injuries around the hips and pelvis, and whether modern footwear could be playing a part.
😴 The fundamentals of staying healthy – Sleep, nutrition, training surfaces, shoe rotation, mobility and the habits Steve believes make the biggest difference to long-term consistency.
We also hear about Steve's time behind the scenes at the West Coast Eagles, including how elite sporting teams make decisions around injured athletes and some surprisingly quick (and not so quick!) 2km time trials.
The biggest takeaway? There's far more to staying injury-free than simply managing your weekly mileage. Understanding how your body responds to training, recognising early warning signs and building the capacity to tolerate load are all crucial to long-term improvement.
Whether you're currently injured, navigating a return to running or simply trying to string together consistent months and years of training, there's plenty to take away from this one.
A huge thanks to Steve for being so generous with his time and knowledge, and to everyone who submitted questions!
🎧 Enjoy the episode, and let us know your biggest takeaway in the comments!

We start off episode 89 paying tribute to Irish running legend Ciara Mcgeean, who sadly lost her battle with cancer early Sunday morning at the young age of 34. Ciara was an inspiration to everyone along with being such a beautiful person inside and out and will be sadly missed amongst everyone.
New York Marathon dominated the agenda with Andreas Almgren storming to victory on his debut with a 2:06:01 while on the womens side Sheila Chepkirui pulls off an upset over Hellen Obiri, and Jess McClain dips her on the line. We break down why this unpaced race was the best marathon to watch all year and also cover the Abbott 5K Dash and Noosa Bolt Results over in Australia.
📺 In YouTube Diaries segment, we dive into Almgren’s “Entering the Unknown Part Two” on Nomio’s channel and explore what’s next for the Swede.

Welcome to the final episode of our bi-weekly series The Road To Dublin, where we follow three athletes building toward the Dublin Marathon on October 25th.
We followed three runners who had three very different Dublin Marathon experiences. Bri nails her debut (2:57, national medal). Troy battles stomach issues at 5k as his heart rate hits 215bpm. Will struggles with fuelling and wind on his comeback.
We break down what went right, what went catastrophically wrong, and what's next.
Enjoy!

This week we're joined by one of Australia's finest runners, Matt Ramsden.
Fresh off a 28:31 and a podium finish at the Australian Road Running Championships, Matt joins Ryan and Dean to reflect on a career that's taken him from a promising junior in Perth to the world's biggest stages.
We take a trip down memory lane, from his early battles with Ollie Hoare and Jakob Ingebrigtsen to joining Melbourne Track Club, signing with Nike and pacing Joshua Cheptegei to both his 5,000m and 10,000m world records.
Matt opens up about the circumstances surrounding his Tokyo Olympic non-selection, the Achilles injury that derailed his Paris ambitions, and the perspective he's gained through those setbacks.
We also get a fascinating insight into the realities of professional running contracts, his training philosophy, and how he's now juggling life as an elite athlete, full-time lawyer and head coach of Ram's Running.
With his competitive fire returning and a track 10,000m debut on the horizon at Zatopek, there's plenty more to come from the self-proclaimed (well, Ryan-proclaimed) Starboy of WA running.
Enjoy the episode!

Shownotes
Jakarta Half Marathon saw Dean race in brutal heat, finishing 11th in a stacked international field. Dublin Marathon delivered drama along with 75km/h winds, elite Irish talent battling brutal conditions, and Road to Dublin crew finding out just how unforgiving the marathon can be. Valencia Half served up close finishes and Spanish national record intrigue. Bernie Ten in Tasmania showcased Australia’s domestic depth with Ed Marks dominating and Georgie Gregec running wild.
📰 Running news hits different this week. LA Olympic marathon window opens November 1st with 70 spots (down from 80—still scratching our heads on that one). But the headline: Perez Jepchichir provisionally suspended for EPO. Multiple Olympic and world champion, four-time major winner, world record holder in the half. Caught six weeks before Sydney. We break down what this means for the sport, the systemic issues, and why trust in elite distance running just evaporated.
👊 Double Trouble explores doping culture, agent accountability, and whether East African distance running can be salvaged. It’s heavy, it’s necessary, and it’s honest.
Personal wins: Ryan’s injury scan came back positive (stress response resolved), Dean’s back from Jakarta, and Eoin's soaking up Spanish sun .

With Dean enjoying another holiday on Rottnest, Ryan and Eoin are joined by the mileage king himself, Jake Barraclough (Ran to Japan), for a bumper episode of Easy Double.
Jake takes us inside life as the Marathon Monk, training alongside some of Japan's fastest runners at ND Soft. We break down his latest 216km training week (a down week, apparently), including 30km runs finished with flat-out kilometre reps, marathon-specific sessions, and the differences between Japanese and Western approaches to training and fuelling.
He also discusses his recent back injury scare, racing plans and preparations for December's Marathon Project, alongside his experience rubbing shoulders with Clayton Young at the Great North Run.
Meanwhile, Eoin kicks off his Irish cross country season with a fourth-place finish at the Autumn Open as he builds towards the National Championships.
Elsewhere, the boys cover the Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon, Amsterdam and Beijing Marathons, Andreas Almgren's frightening training ahead of his marathon debut in New York, and a listener-submitted Double Trouble tackling one of running's biggest pet hates: discarded gel wrappers on race courses.
Plenty of running chat, questionable accents and big mileage. Enjoy!

Jakarta Running Festival: Building Indonesia's Biggest Running Event | Race Director Donny
From 16,500 participants in 2024 to 37,000 in 2026, the Jakarta Running Festival has quickly established itself as one of Southeast Asia's premier running events, becoming Indonesia's first World Athletics Gold Label race in the process.
With Dean heading over to compete in the elite half marathon and Raf Baugh taking on commentary duties for the international broadcast, Ryan and Dean sit down with Race Director Donny to learn more about the event's remarkable rise.
We get a fascinating insight into what goes on behind the scenes of organising a major international running event, from shutting down the streets of one of the world's busiest cities to attracting world-class athletes and managing the challenges of racing in Jakarta's notorious heat and humidity.
In this episode, we discuss:
How the Jakarta Running Festival has grown to 37,000 participants in just three years.
The journey to becoming Indonesia's first World Athletics Gold Label event.
Building a world-class elite field, including multiple sub-60-minute half marathoners.
Prize money, athlete recruitment and the commercial realities of organising major running events.
The challenges of racing in 24–26°C temperatures with high humidity.
Course design, road closures and the logistics of delivering a two-day running festival.
The explosion of running participation across Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
Jakarta's ambitions for the future and what Australian events, particularly Perth, could learn from its success.
Plus, we find out what Dean can expect on race day, how Raf landed the commentary gig, and whether Donny could one day bring his race-directing expertise to Perth!
A great conversation for anyone interested in the growth of running, the business behind major events, and what it takes to create a world-class race experience.

Shownotes
What a week of marathon running and no need to fear if you missed any of it as we have you covered.
Perth Running Festival brought the goods with Dominic Ngenu’s strong solo win in the marathon, Dean racing hard in the 10K and finishing third, and impressive times across the board.
Melbourne Marathon delivered the spectacle, Kipchoge doing Kipchoge things, Tommy De Canto showing experience and running a PB, and Jimmy Whelan learning the hard way that 2:08 ambitions on debut don’t translate.
Chicago saw Clayton Young’s gutsy come-from-behind American record, Charles Hicks right there hunting, and the women’s race owned by Izzy Bat-doyle smashing the Australian/Oceania record in 2:20:38.
📰 In running news, the stories were everywhere. Perth’s got problems to fix, no kilometer markers on course, missing elite drinks, and a few questions about social media strategy. But the depth of Australian marathon running is genuinely unhinged. Seth O’Donnell solo 61:20 in the half. Nicola Sheridan from Ireland flying a 2:29 after switching to Sydney. The domestic talent pool is ridiculous.
📺 YouTube Diaries gets a big one this week. Marcus Malone dropped a 50-minute documentary called Ordinary Excellence, the Grant Fisher story. Long-form content done properly, childhood, college, coaching relationships, build-up to New York. It’s storytelling, not highlight reels. Shout to Joey Bowden for the tip-off.
👊 Double Trouble stays light as Ryan gets some grief!
Plenty in this one. Enjoy!

Please meet: Bri McGhee, a final-year dietetics student running her very first marathon.
David Troy, the national 10k champion, gearing up for only his second time over the 42.2km distance.
Will Boyle, an Asics frontrunner coming off an injury that ruled him out of London, now looking ahead to an exciting Dublin build.

A big one this week as we’re joined by Sam Maxwell — Managing Director of Emageo Group and Elite Athlete Coordinator for the Perth Running Festival — ahead of race weekend in Perth.
Sam takes us behind the scenes of building an elite field: recruiting international athletes, appearance fees and prize money, pacemakers, visas, anti-doping and the challenge of growing Perth into a genuinely world-class marathon. We preview Sunday’s races, unpack the headline names coming to WA and hear about the longer-term ambitions for the event.
Then it’s back to regular Easy Double business.
Dean is FINALLY back racing, opening his season with a solo 14:46 5,000m — although he very nearly didn’t make the start line. We break down his race, the return to spikes and what it means ahead of another hit-out at the Perth Running Festival this weekend.
Elsewhere, we cover Jakob’s home-town RunFest, Manchester and Cardiff Half results, the latest running news, Nike dropping THREE new racing shoes — the SwooshFly, Alphafly 4 and Apex — and London Marathon’s move to a two-day event.
Plenty in this one. Enjoy!

Berlin Marathon brought the drama as Tigst Assefa was looking to break the femle marathon world record before an achilles injury derailed her in the final 2km, finishing 2:11:04 and straight into surgery. Guye Adola floated to victory looking impossibly smooth, and Jake Smith grabbed a massive lifetime best.
In Ireland Eoin was back racing with a 5K road race in Dublin, building toward his November goal.
📰 In running news Jack Rainier looks to DNS Melbourne marathon while the shoe wars heating up with Mizuno's 96-gram hyper warp threatening to either revolutionise or blow away in the wind. Vinny Strava (Vinnie Maori) is doing genuinely unhinged marathon prep for Chicago with 40+ mile days at marathon pace, double thresholds on treadmills. The man's a follow.
📺 YouTube diaries are everywhere now. Nomio's dropping training content, Clayton Young's got new ones, Graham Blanks showing his process. The transparency's brilliant.
👊 Double Trouble goes rogue as we debate what belongs on Strava (spoiler: zoo walks with 19 animal photos are acceptable if they commit hard enough), and Dean's got a story about riding a flat-tired bike in jeans three pints deep to make an interview with Cam on time.

Episode 82 is here and the inaugural World Ultimate Championships delivered.
The boys break down a massive three days of racing in Budapest, with huge prize money, stacked fields and some of the best championship-style racing we’ve seen all year.
👑 Jakob is back — Jakob Ingebrigtsen takes down a loaded 5000m field, closing in 12.6 for the final 100m to beat Cole Hocker and an army of Americans. We discuss how the race played out, why none of us picked him and whether we underestimated just how dangerous Jakob remains over 5K.
💰 World Ultimate Championships — Claudia Kazimierska continues an incredible end to the season, Audrey Werro takes another huge 800m win, Gudaf Tsegay’s rivals are caught sleeping in the women’s 5000m and the men’s 800m produces another chaotic finish. We also give our verdict on the new championship format, the enormous prize money, qualification system and whether World Athletics has finally landed on something that works.
🇦🇺 Cam Myers hypothetical season continues — after his incredible end to the year, we ask whether Cam could have mixed it with Jakob and Hocker in that 5000m final.
🗽 Fifth Avenue Mile — Marco Langon takes a huge win in New York in 3:45, Adam Spencer lands on the podium and Gemma Reekie flies to a course record in the women’s race.
🚴 70.3 World Championships — Dean takes us briefly into the dark side as the Norwegian Method boys Christian Blummenfelt and Gustav Iden feature in another ridiculous triathlon battle.
🇮🇪 Irish racing — Eoin takes us through Ratoath and Charleville Half Marathons as Dublin Marathon preparations begin to get serious, including an impressive first half marathon from Road to Dublin’s Bri.
🇬🇧 Great North Run — one of the biggest half marathons in the world delivers another deep field, with plenty of familiar names further down the results.
Plus Ryan moves approximately 200 metres across East Perth, wheels a wine fridge down the street while carrying cycling shoes, Dean discovers every recovery contraption known to man, Eoin destroys himself doing sprint drills, and the usual Easy Double fact-checking goes about as well as expected.

The Diamond League Final in Brussels was not without any drama.
Cam Myers takes arguably the biggest win of his career in a stacked 1500m final, outkicking some of the biggest names in the world — before Jakob Ingebrigtsen lets rip post-race and labels his rivals “cowards”. We break down the race, the pacing controversy and the fallout that followed.
Elsewhere, Emmanuel Wanyonyi continues his dominance over 800m, the women’s 5000m produces some seriously quick Australian performances, Jess Hull adds another 3:54 to the collection, and Femke Bol’s reported 4:20/km threshold pace leaves us questioning everything we know about running.
Away from Brussels, the Australian road mile record goes down in Germany, Clayton Young publicly announces his plan to attack the American marathon record in Chicago, and two more athletes find themselves on the wrong side of anti-doping.
And to finish, Double Trouble returns. Record ratification gets a well-deserved grilling before Ryan ventures into considerably more dangerous territory with a take that might have him checking the Instagram comments with one eye closed…
Enjoy!

Eoin's Irish debut: 14:01 in Antrim, a HALF MARATHON WORLD RECORD & Diamond League madness
It's a huge episode of Easy Double this week as Eoin returns from the Antrim Coast 5K after pulling on the Irish vest for the first time—and delivering a massive performance.
We get the full story behind his 14:01 run, from the build-up and race-day routine to mixing it with an international field, closing in 2:43 for the final kilometre and then immediately being whisked away for his first-ever doping control.
We break down all of that and plenty more from another massive week in the running world, including:
🇮🇪 Eoin's Irish debut — the emotions of representing Ireland, how the race unfolded and just how close he came to breaking 14 minutes.
🧪 Inside doping control — Eoin reveals exactly what happened after being selected for testing immediately after the finish.
🥤 Bicarb, beetroot, Nomio & caffeine — Eoin talks through his complete pre-race protocol and we discuss how much difference the "one percenters" actually make.
🌍 A ridiculous new half marathon world record — Yomif Kejelcha runs an astonishing 56:51 in Argentina, including a largely solo second half and a negative split.
💎 Diamond League action from Lausanne & Silesia — Femke Bol's incredible transition to the 800m continues, Emmanuel Wanyonyi delivers again and the world's best distance runners battle it out as the season reaches its business end.
🇦🇺 Australian National Cross Country Championships — we break down the brutal conditions, the standout performances and the athletes who impressed us most.
👶 Plus, we try to put an incredible 17:49 5K from a 10-year-old listener's son into some kind of context.
It's a long one—but there was simply too much happening in the running world to leave anything out.

It's a bumper episode this week as we break down all the action from the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham—plus plenty happening closer to home for the Easy Double boys.
Ryan is back in Perth but unfortunately brings an injury update, with a suspected femoral neck stress reaction putting the brakes on his marathon build. Meanwhile, Dean finally pins a number on again—and casually runs 14:52 at parkrun on his return to racing.
Then it's into a huge week of European athletics:
🇳🇴 Jakob Ingebrigtsen is back. After all the uncertainty around his fitness, Jakob produces a brilliant tactical 5,000m victory—and suddenly the Jakob vs Josh Kerr conversation feels very alive again.
🇸🇪 Andreas Almgren's incredible 10,000m. Forget waiting for a kick—Almgren takes on a stacked field from the front, runs 27:23 and completely dismantles the race. We break down the tactics and some inside insight Ryan picked up from Jordan Donnelly before the championship. - 🇮🇪 Mark English finally gets his European gold, delivering another tactical masterclass in the 800m.
🇮🇹 Nadia Battocletti dominates the 5,000m and 10,000m double and further establishes herself as one of the very best distance runners in the world.
🤯 One of the most unpredictable men's 1500m finals you'll see, with Stefan Nillessen taking gold and Andrew Coscoran producing a huge finish for his first major medal.
🏃 Championship marathon carnage on an incredibly tough Birmingham course.
🆚 We debate Josh Kerr's decision to skip Europeans and whether his selective racing approach could ultimately hurt his legacy compared with Jakob's extraordinary championship record.
💉 Plus, another doping case hits athletics and we discuss what it means when athletes are caught through biological passport abnormalities.
🎥 Ryan and Dean share a couple of running watches from the week, including Josh Kerr's Breaking the Mile film, old-school marathon training and why—despite everything that's changed in running—so much remains exactly the same.
⛽ And a look at the maths behind marathon fuelling, why "hitting the wall" isn't quite as mysterious as it once seemed, and how modern fuelling strategies are changing what's possible over 42.2km.
Plus the usual training chat, questionable takes and Double Trouble to finish.

Eoin gets the call-up! 🇮🇪
A big week for Easy Double as Eoin drops some unexpected news—he's officially been selected to represent Ireland over 5K! 🇮🇪
After hitting the qualifying standards, Eoin gets his first senior Irish singlet and will line up at the new international 5K in Larne alongside an Irish team featuring Jack Moran, Eoghan McIlhenny, Colm Rooney and Tony McCambridge.
We get into all of that, plus:
- 🇮🇪 Eoin's Irish call-up—how the selection came about, why he thought the opportunity had disappeared after Nationals, and what it means to finally get the chance to represent his country.
- 🔥 Eoin Recaps his 3000m PB in 8:12 A quick trip to the UK for BMC provided the perfect opportunity to cash in on the Font Romeu training camp.
- 🏃♂️ European Championships Preview — The long awaited return of the Norwegian King Jakob Ingebrigsten, is he back back as he races the 5000m. Including a look at some of the other start fields.
- 🚶 Race walking doping drama—we revisit the Commonwealth Games 10,000m walk after Kenyan athlete Stephen Ndangiri's anti-doping case following an out-of-competition test ahead of Glasgow.
- 💉 Why would a race walker even take EPO? After giving race walking a hard time last week, we attempt to understand just how much physiology matters once everyone at the top level has mastered the technique.
- 🤖 Ryan's relationship with ChatGPT gets another mention as the boys wonder whether it's time for a full debrief on his latest training.
- 😂 Plus the usual Easy Double tangents, questionable athletics knowledge and Eoin discovering that severe sleep deprivation might actually improve his podcasting.

Episode 74 sees the boys spread across three countries as Ryan checks in from the Wirral, Eoin returns from his altitude camp in St. Moritz, and Dean holds the fort in Perth.
There's plenty to unpack as Eoin reflects honestly on life at altitude, the reality of racing against some of the world's best, and the challenge of trusting the process when the performances don't quite match the training. The lads also revisit Ed Eyestone's brilliant appearance on the podcast and look ahead to Ryan and Raf heading to Glasgow for the Commonwealth Games.
Then it's time for a full breakdown of an unforgettable London Diamond League. Josh Kerr's astonishing world record mile takes centre stage, with analysis of what made the performance so special, whether anyone saw it coming, and what it means for the future of middle-distance running.

Episode 73 is here, and while Eoin is off on a road trip, Ryan and Dean have plenty to get through.
We break down an action-packed weekend of athletics, including the Monaco Diamond League, where a world record fell, Agnes Ngetich continued her incredible rise, Emmanuel Wanyonyi produced one of the performances of the year over 1000m, and we discuss what these results mean ahead of a huge championship season. We also cover the Morton Games in Ireland, Eliud Kipchoge's latest marathon appearance in Brazil, and Tom Samuel's decision to leave the NCAA and turn professional.
Then it's all eyes on Project 222.
Josh Kerr has publicly declared his intention to attack Hicham El Guerrouj's iconic mile world record of 3:43.13, aiming to become the first man ever to run 222 seconds for the mile. We discuss just how realistic that target is, whether Yared Nuguse could spoil the party, and make our own predictions for what could be one of the most anticipated races of the season.
As always, there's plenty of training chat, a few laughs along the way, and another edition of Double Trouble to round things off.

What does it really take to build an Olympic marathoner?
In this episode of the Easy Double Podcast, we're joined by legendary coach Ed Eyestone—two-time Olympian, NCAA champion, and the architect behind one of the most successful collegiate distance running programs in the world. Having coached Olympic marathoners Connor Mantz and Clayton Young, along with Olympic silver medallist Kenneth Rooks, Ed shares the principles that have shaped decades of success at BYU.
Joining Ryan and Dean is coach, Raf , who brings a unique coach-to-coach perspective throughout the conversation. Raf's experience as both an elite athlete and long-time coach allows the discussion to go beyond the usual interview, diving deeper into training methodology, athlete development, the balance between talent and hard work, and the finer details of coaching at the highest level.
Together, we explore Ed's journey from Olympian to one of the most respected coaches in world distance running, discussing his own career, the evolution of his coaching philosophy, lessons from training alongside some of the world's best marathoners, and the mindset required to consistently develop athletes capable of competing on the biggest stage.
In this episode we discuss:
Ed's journey from athlete to Olympic coach
Building the BYU distance dynasty
Coaching Connor Mantz, Clayton Young & Kenneth Rooks
Talent vs trainability
Marathon training philosophy
The importance of belief, culture and consistency
What everyday runners can learn from elite performers

The lads are back in what was a massive week of running.
We kick things off with Eoin's unforgettable Tour de France experience in Font-Romeu, from roadside crowds and Ben Healy souvenirs to Tommy Foster's viral TV appearance. Back in Perth, Dean's starting to feel like himself again on the track, while Ryan reflects on a breakthrough weekend at the Gold Coast Half Marathon.
On the Gold Coast, Haftu Strintzos shocked everyone by breaking the Australian marathon record in what was only his 3rd attempt over the distance. In the Half, Izzi Batt-Doyle did what she does best and demolished the field.
Over in Eugene at the Pre Classic, the Aussies were on fire as Cam Myers won the Bowerman Mile while also breaking the Australian record for the mile.
Ryan takes us inside every kilometre of his new PB, explaining the race plan, the gamble of latching onto Izzi Batt-Doyle's group, managing the headwind, trusting the heart rate, and the mindset that carried him to a 67:31. We also discuss what the performance says about his future over the marathon, how cycling may have contributed to the comeback, and whether there's even more to come.
We then recap a huge weekend on the Gold Coast, including Haftu Strintzos' sensational Australian marathon record, Izzi Batt-Doyle's amazing win in the half marathon, standout performances across the marathon and half marathon fields, and what made the event so special.
There is a bit of Double Trouble involved with toilet difficulties on course..
