AW – Athletics Weekly Magazine AW Feb 2021 Back Issue

The February issue of AW is packed with features from across the world of athletics.
We speak exclusively to European 1500m champion Laura Muir about how she has rediscovered her confidence after a difficult year, being mindful and finding a deep love of running, plus she reflects on a memorable weekend in Glasgow two years ago, where she completed the 'double double' at the European Indoor Championships.
We also take a look at the history and evolution of indoor athletics, from the very first meetings staged in draughty halls right through to today's state-of-the-art facilities, as well as reliving some great indoor performances.
There's also an in-depth look at the current cross country equality debate which has divided opinion in Britain, while we remember Ron Pickering – a man who has left a lasting legacy on the sport 30 years on from his death – and Andy Turner pays tribute to his late coach Lloyd Cowan.
The Performance section is full of good advice, too – from what it takes to excel at the long jump through to training insight from sprinter Andy Robertson and reviews of the latest shoes from Paul Freary.
Add in features with ultra runner Damian Hall about bringing more adventure to your running, coaching thoughts from Toni Minichiello and Mark Coogan, as well a round-up of the best results from the past month, and there is something for every track and field fan out there this February!
