Asafa Powell on sprinting secrets and the search for speed

The latest episode of the AW Podcast features an exclusive interview with former 100m world record-holder Asafa Powell, who discusses his move into coaching, pays tribute to his late mentor Stephen Francis and suggests what could be holding the current generation of sprinters back. We also hear from the 16-year-old Bronson Hearn-Smith, European U18 200m champion and the latest recruit to Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom talent agency. The team reflect on the passing of former European 1500m champion Ciara Mageean, the extraordinary marathon debut of Andreas Almgren in New York and explore the topic of athletics’ Unsung Heroes – the athletes who don’t quite get the recognition they deserve.
