AW – Athletics Weekly Magazine  |  AW April 2021
The April issue of AW magazine sees the focus placed on Europe's top young talents.
Following a brilliant European Indoor Athletics Championships, there is an exclusive interview with Norwegian star Jakob Ingebrigtsen about his plans for global success and moving his career to the next level.
There is also an exclusive chat with The Netherlands' Femke Bol about her success over 400m and the 400m hurdles, plus we look closely at the Dutch training group which is making such a big mark on athletics.
Our European Indoor review also looks at performances such as the 800m win by the 'fearless' British teenager Keely Hodgkinson, while there is an interview with 3000m champion Amy Eloise Markovc about how she now feels like she belongs at the top.
Elsewhere in the issue, as athletics begins to emerge from the pandemic, we look at how British clubs have coped with Covid-19 – from the creative ways they have engaged with members to the plans they have for bouncing back after such a difficult time.
We also look in depth at the NCAA scene in America, while author Michael Stocks takes us through the highs and lows of 24 hour racing.
Our packed Performance section features advice from coach Lewis Moses about the dangers of expecting too much too soon when it comes to resuming racing, plus we look at why the dialogue needs to change around female training, there's an examination of the art of triple jumping, training insight from Stewart McSweyn, physio Paul Hobrough's advice on avoiding hamstring trouble and running shoe guru Paul Freary's reviews the latest footwear and technological gadgets.
There are also the usual monthly fixtures, with exclusive opinion columns and features.
