Episode Notes

Hannah and Rich switch focus to the track and field season, which ramps up this weekend with the World Athletics Relay in Gaborone, Botswana.

There's a full preview of that, plus a look back at some great early season performances - including Gabby Thomas on her return from an Achilles injury - and we also talk about Allyson Felix's announcement that she's coming out of retirement.

With the Novuna UK Athletics Championships around 50 days away, we also catch up with long jumper Molly Palmer - who made her GB senior debut at the World Athletics Indoor Championships.
