AW – Athletics Weekly Magazine | AW October 2025
The latest issue of AW (published on October 9) looks back over a memorable edition of the World Athletics Championships and features interviews with some of the key figures who were at the heart of the action in Tokyo.
The AW team covers a wide range of subjects – from the impact of the championships on the host city to the changing landscape of top-class sprinting given that the past, present and future generations were all on show in Japan.
With her 200m silver medal, Great Britain’s Amy Hunt enjoyed a breakthrough that puts her at the forefront of the sprints scene and, in an exclusive interview, her coach Marco Airale talks through how they have worked together through a great deal of adversity to reach a global podium.
Hunt’s British team-mate Jake Wightman, the 1500m world champion in 2022, has also had to bounce back from a series of blows to get to the top level again and he also discusses how he kept going when fate seemed to be conspiring against him.
Columnist Katharine Merry assesses the performance of the British team as a whole, while former Olympic and world 400m champion Christine Ohuruogu analyses the remarkable developments taking place in her favourite event at the moment.
There are also exclusive interviews with 5000m and 10,000m champion Beatrice Chebet, marathon bronze medallist Julia Paternain, heptathlon silver medallist Kate O’Connor and Swedish distance athlete Andreas Almgren, as well as an in-depth look at how his team-mate Mondo Duplantis continues to defy gravity in the pole vault.
Away from the World Championships review, Britain’s Jessica Warner-Judd looks ahead to her marathon debut in New York, while UTMB winner Tom Evans delves into his training regime, Malcolm Arnold talks about his coaching life and products editor Paul Freary picks out some of the fastest running footwear on the market right now.
