Amanal Petros shares his experience and insights after winning his first major marathon title at the Birmingham 2026 European Athletics Championships.

Welcome to week 1 of our new Autumn series which we're starting off with a bang! We are lucky enough to be joined by Amanal Petros who has just won his first-ever major title with a championship record in the men’s marathon at the Birmingham 2026 European Athletics Championships. Amanal didn’t just survive a very tough course, he thrived on it! He shares insights into his training in Kenya and high altitude benefits, race strategies for tough courses & weather conditions and his preparation for the Frankfurt marathon. Discover how he prepares for tough courses, manages heat and humidity - Tokyo was both the toughest and easiest!-  and his mindset for success.  We'd love to hear from you with your questions, comments and nominations for the Honour's Board which has now moved to The Shakeout episode on a Thursday.
