Is Stephen scullion still in ireland? Presumably they'd train together in flagstaff.

He's in Ireland at the moment. The Stephen Haas mentioned in the article is Scullions agent and coach. Don't think he would be stuck for people to train with in Flagstaff.

At 32 he’s probably pushing it age wish but it would be brilliant to see the man running in Tokyo.

Scullion has issues getting out of Ireland and back to US.

There is a podcast here.

Been ploughing away the last few weeks seems to be training with a few of Haas's athletes and seems to be going well based off sessions etc I have seen so far.

Scullion was using indoor cycling as a way to maintain fitness along with his running

One of my favourite podcasts these days.

This episode was particularly good.

Perhaps I'll give the Podcast another chance if he is back running. Enjoyed his Chicago build up but turned it off once he started yapping about the bike :pac:

Any other recommendations?

This one is not Scullion's

Its two Northy lads who look to have taken over the mantle from the JTG. Some really good guests most weeks

Bad Boy Running is a good laugh, if you are looking for something to entertain

Has Mad Len’s Salazar connection ever been satisfactorily explained?

The USADA Report confirmed that though he was at NOP it was Magness who was coaching him however he testified as a defence witness in that case and has supported Salazar throughout (given that he works in marketting for Nike though hardly surprising)

I think that is half the motivation of him stating his return prior to racing as he knows he will have question marks if he just rocks up race fit after a few months off the grid.

Have a few of the above on my app.

Final Surge is good for some interviews.

Sweat Elite is actually really good - (Killian Jornet on last week)

Running Inspiration (NI based as well) has some good guests - but not a regular one for me - its guest dependent - Paul Pollock/ Zack Hanna/ Mick C / David Flynn / Catherina McK / Gary O'H / our own Evan Scully.

The Morning Shakeout - guest/topic dependent.
