AW – Athletics Weekly Magazine  |  AW April 2022
The April issue of AW features an in-depth review of the World Indoor Athletics Championships. From the stunning world records set by Yulimar Rojas and Mondo Duplantis to Ethiopia's dominance on the track, the early signs of a compelling sprinting rivalry developing between Marcell Jacobs and Christian Coleman, to the British team performance, we look at the major talking points from Belgrade.
There's also an exclusive interview with world heptathlon champion Katarina Johnson-Thompson, who has been learning to love her sport once again following the injury heartbreak in Tokyo which thwarted her medal chances, and is now looking forward to defending her global title in Eugene.
Two other star names who will be prominent at the global showpiece this summer are 400m hurdles world record-holders Karsten Warholm and Sydney McLaughlin – former world champion Dai Greene explains why they have taken the event to a new level.
It's Spring marathon season once again and the only World Marathon Major event to be taking place in April is Boston, which boasts fields which are packed with some of the world's finest talent. We look ahead to what will be an historic race and catch up with British hope Charlotte Purdue.
Meanwhile, with the cross country season having just drawn to a close, AW's resident statistician Steve Smythe runs the rule over the performances this winter and ranks the best off-road runners. Sticking with off-road, Ellis Bland also writes eloquently about his concerns for the future of fell running.
As ever, the performance section is crammed with useful information and advice, including training insight from international marathon runner Jess Piasecki, injury advice from physio Paul Hobrough and European indoor 3000m medallist Verity Ockenden, reviews of the latest footwear from running shoe guru Paul Freary and a feature on the True Athlete Project – a charity which is centred on improving athlete welfare.
