The ladies featured here might be super speedy - they're all bona fide sprint sensations - but this episode certainly isn't. It's an epic, 90-minute romp through some of the biggest names in British sprinting: Jodie Wiliams (06:51), Shannon Hylton (25:26), Beth Dobbin (33:04), Paula Dunn (51:00), Abi Oyepitan (61:02), and Dina Asher-Smith (78:14). Tell us about it; we've no idea how we managed to persuade such sprint queens onto our little pod, either... Eight UK athletes currently hold the European A standard of 23.20, which is both fantastic and a sign of how far sprinting has come for this country's female athletes in recent years. Paula and Abi were amongst those paving the way (or laying the track; however literal you like your metaphors), and this week's other guests are furthering the cause, one sub-23 minute run and banging entrance track at a time. On your marks, get set, enjoy. Oh, and leave us a review, won't you? @BackstraightB & @Claire_GThomas
