Listen now
Description
This week on TRACK! we are joined by UK middle-distance running royalty, Christina Boxer. Christina was a consistently selected GB athlete between 1978 and 1992 over the 800 and 1500m distances.  She is a 3 time Olympian, Gold medalist at the Commonwealth Games and has the distinction of being the first British female to run under 2 minutes in the 800m. Christina followed her time competing as a respected athletics journalist with ITV and BBC as well as embarking on a coaching career that has seen her work with Jo Pavey and Charlotte Moore. We are lucky to have Christina as a coach at Worcester AC which has allowed us to get to know her and convince her to give up her time for a chat. In the pre-show we discuss the return of racing to the UK with some brilliant performances. We cover the latest from Beth Potter's performance at Podium 5km and the Olympic Marathon selection story including Charlotte Purdue’s appeal against her non-selection. Thanks for listening, we hope you enjoy.
