This weekend's interview on the Inside Running Podcast, Brad Croker sits down with Olympic silver medallist Evan Jager for an in-depth conversation on one of the most unique careers in distance running.

Evan Jager is one of America’s most accomplished distance runners, best known for his dominance in the 3000m steeplechase. An Olympic silver medallist at the Rio 2016 Games, Jager broke a 28-year-old American record in the event and became a consistent force on the global stage, regularly competing against the world’s best.

Coached for much of his career by Jerry Schumacher as part of the Bowerman Track Club, Jager has also claimed multiple U.S. national titles and represented the United States at several World Championships and Olympic Games. Known for his smooth hurdling technique and tactical racing, he remains one of the most respected steeplechasers of his generation.

In a rare, English-speaking interview, Crokes interviews Marius Bakken.

Marius finished 9th at the 2001 World Championships in the 5,000m. During his career, he held Norwegian records at 2000, 3000 and 5000m, which stood for over 20 years.

He competed at two Olympic Games and has a 5km PB of 13:06.

Despite having a successful career on the track, he’s probably better known for being the pioneer of The Norwegian Method and Double Threshold training.

Throw back to our interview with 2:13 marathoner and now coach to Sam Tanner and Sam Ruthe, Craig Kirkwood.

Craig Kirkwood, runner and coach sheds light on the career of running he’s had, going through the several personal bests earned from around the world and how getting the best from his own training led to his start as a junior. He recalls earning high praise from Arthur Lydiard and his experiences competing and training in the NCAA in Oklahoma before heading off to the UK where he represented New Zealand at the 1999 World Cross Country Championships in Belfast. During his time in London, Craig developed his skill as a coach and agent organising athlete training and racing including the likes of Daniel Komen, watching their workouts and observing the level of professionalism they put in. Craig goes into stepping up to the marathon, getting selected for the Manchester Commonwealth Games before a freak injury derailed him then coming home to New Zealand. He shares his insight to the domestic scene, why New Zealand distance running sets the bar really high and his earnest approach into coaching, particularly young charges such as Sam Tanner and his philosophies around training and self belief, and closing with his thoughts on how the domestic running scene will go through the short term future and current state of the sport.

Brad catches up with Olympian and former 5000m star Mike Power, reflecting on a career that stretched from running laps in a school carpark to lining up at the Prefontaine Classic with a 3:58 mile and breaking the U/16 1000m World Junior Record. Their conversation traces Mike’s journey from Little Athletics in Dandenong to a scholarship at the University of Arkansas, offering insights into how the U.S. college system helped shape him during the pivotal transition from junior to senior competition.

They revisit Mike’s path to the Sydney 2000 Olympics—navigating the qualifying process, the build-up to competing on home soil, and the role Athletics Australia played in supporting him through that experience.

Mike also opens up about life beyond the Games: the struggle to find the right coach, the decision to step away from elite racing, and the emotional toll of a cancer diagnosis. Wrapping up, he shares his reflections on the U.S. collegiate running environment and what it's taught him about athlete development and culture.

Brady introduces James Hansen, a versatile Australian distance runner who recently placed fifth in both the 1500m and 5000m at the national championships. Hansen also won the 5000m at the Adelaide Invitational and the Hong Kong Diamond Mile in 2017.

He discusses his current training in Launceston, Tasmania, which involves lightening his load for an upcoming race. He explains his decision to focus on domestic races this season due to his partner expecting a baby in July.

The conversation then delves into Hansen's personal bests, including 1:49.7 for 800m, 3:36.8 for 1500m (a recent achievement he's particularly proud of), 3:57.2 for the mile, 7:49 for 3000m, 13:31 (track) and 13:34 (road) for 5000m, and a significantly faster 28:20 for 10km on the road compared to his 29:02 track PB, which he attributes partly to super shoes. He also touches on his wins at the Point to Pinnacle half marathon, a challenging uphill race he uses for hill training.

Hansen discusses managing pre-race nerves, especially for big races like Nationals, and his self-coaching philosophy, which has been influenced by various coaches over the years. He describes his current training week.

He acknowledges his naturally muscular build, which sets him apart from typical distance runners, stemming from a dedicated gym routine in his younger years.

Malcolm takes it back to the beginnings at schoolyard rivalries in Albury, starting at sprints and winning the 800m, and how his love of running helped channel his hyperactivity. The first half of this interview concludes with how he joined Nike in the early 80s through Raylene Boyle and heading to AIS under pressure, not knowing who Pat Clohessy was and setting the record for the longest suspension at the AIS.

Brady’s chat with Malcolm Norwood resumes starting from his suspension from the AIS leading to a 3rd place in the State 10k and then taking a break from the sport, then coming back to racing in Europe under the mentorship of Ron Clarke and dealing with emotions.

Mal then talks about coming home and running the 3-day Otway Classic, recounting the process for picking the team, employing tactics and strategy and duelling Sean Quilty.

With his career transitioning from track to road, Mal talks about running the London Marathon to supplement his Twin Cities performance to qualify for the Barcelona Olympics and the complicated selection process involved as well as an incident that happened just before the London Marathon before going into the lasting impact of the injury through the Tokyo Marathon, World Championships in Germany to his final marathon at Gold Coast and how his retirement came about.

Malcolm closes with his post-professional career, stepping out and in with the world of running sharing some philosophies on training, the state of running and anecdotes about drug testing.
