Cross Comeback Podcast
In a return to the podcasting due to social media pressures - which involved seven people liking a tweet - we tee up what should be a cracking edition of the National Cross Country Championships on Sunday. Santry Demesne will play host to the best and brightest of Irish athletics, with places on offer at the Europeans in Dublin which, as we learn during our show, is both a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and a twice-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Join us as we update everyone on the reasons our absence from the Irish athletics airwaves over the past six months and run the rule over the fields in the U20 and senior races in Santry, along with expressing our admiration (real) for Andrew Coscoran and our love (fake) for Abbotstown. Let battle commence.

Diamond Resurrection, NCAAs Untested, Healy Scorcher
On this week's podcast we get stuck into the rebirth of the vintage Diamond League meetings in Oslo and Stockholm. Steeped in history, the meets have flagged in recent years but have come back to prominence with some impressive marketing, great local athletes and top class competition. This was proved with the number of bums on seats. Cathal caught up with some of the interesting characters on the circuit including teenage sensation Jakob Ingebrigtsen, long distance and social media guru Julien Wanders along with the man of the moment Juan Miguel Echevarria - who quite literally nearly jumped out of the long jump pit in Stockholm. The NCAA championships proved its outrageous standard of competition once more but equally as outrageous is the lack of drug testing. On the doping front we also catch up with the convincing Asbel Kiprop who is giving up his fight for innocence. Domestically we chart the rise of Cork sprinting heroine Phil Healy and some of the studs at the Irish Schools championships.

Problem with "Potential"; Centrowitz-Past Present and Prefontaine
In this week's podcast we look at the leading Irish results from last weekend, before delving into our topic of discussion for this episode: the problem with potential and athlete development. We then go international to the Prefontaine Classic (31:30 into the podcast) with interviews with Matthew Centrowitz, Christian Coleman and Shelby Houlihan. This was the last time the event will be held in the original Hayward Field before it's demolished and rebuilt. Is it really that 'HISTORIC'? 'Centro' reflects on the Asbel Kiprop doping situation along with his favourite memories from Hayward Field. Coleman talks about his hiccups since winning the world indoors while Houlihan talks about her big breakthrough and the gold dust of the Jerry Schumacher/Bowerman Track Club regime. There were plenty of good performances from Irish athletes at home and abroad. Phil Healy was one of the headliners at the AAI Games while the juniors grabbed attention at the IFAM meeting in Oordegem - The women's U20 4x100m relay team set a new national record and Sarah Healy broke the youth 1500m record. This leads into our discussion on potential. Do we keep going back to the source when a talent hits a roadblock? Should we look at athletic scouts and identify those for the long game. It becomes a merry-go-round instead of developing what we have, which would create a consistent path for the next generation. Alternatively we keep going back to the 'talent.'
