Free with YouTube's ads, posted by Welsh Athletics.

In this episode of Beyond the Track, we kick things off with a breakdown of the recent Valencia Marathon. We look at how Welsh athletes performed on the international stage, including an incredible run from Natasha Wilson, who smashed the Welsh national record in stunning fashion. Then we dive into the heart of the episode: celebrating Pontypridd Roadents, the newly crowned Welsh Athletics Club of the Year.

We explore what makes this club so special - from their standout achievements and club culture to the depth of talent across their squads. We talk team selection, training philosophy, the athletes who are making waves, and the community spirit that continues to drive the Roadents forward.

Whether you're part of a club, a fan of Welsh athletics, or simply love hearing stories from the sport, this episode offers a packed, inspiring look at one of Wales’ most successful and dynamic running communities.
