In today's episode of Conversations About Running we are joined by British elite middle distance athlete, Callum Elson. Callum is a 1500m specialist with a personal best of 3.35, who tasted his first global success at the inaugural road running world championships in 2023 where he took the silver medal behind Hobbs Kessler. Callum has enjoyed a spectacular rise up the ranks of British middle distance running and until recently had his sights firmly set on gaining an Olympic qualifying spot. Callum then went on to qualify for the world indoor championships where disaster struck as he was spiked through the Achilles tendon by a fellow competitor. With the Olympic dream put to one side, Callum is now focusing on rehabbing a torn achilles. Callum's rise to the top table of British distance running has been achieved partially by his unique approach to social media and content creation. Both the injury and Callum's YouTube channel are topics of this podcast episode. We hope you enjoy our chat with Callum Elson.
