The concept behind Athletics Chat is this: editor Larry Eder and European senior writer Stuart Weir speak once a week on topics of the week in athletics. We provide a full program (30-40 minutes) plus highlights done as clips.
In this clip, we feature our thoughts on the late Neil Black, the former UK Performance director, who passed away unexpectedly last month.
The production is done by Mike Deering, of The Shoe Addicts. Special thanks to Mike for managing the filming as well as the final production.

Larry Eder has had a 52-year involvement in the sport of athletics. Larry has experienced the sport as an athlete, coach, magazine publisher, and now, journalist and blogger. His first article, on Don Bowden, America's first sub-4 minute miler, was published in RW in 1983. Larry has published several magazines on athletics, from American Athletics to the U.S. version of Spikes magazine. He currently manages the content and marketing development of the RunningNetwork, The Shoe Addicts, and RunBlogRun. Of RunBlogRun, his daily pilgrimage with the sport, Larry says: "I have to admit, I love traveling to far away meets, writing about the sport I love, and the athletes I respect, for my readers at runblogrun.com, the most of anything I have ever done, except, maybe running itself." Also does some updates for BBC Sports at key events, which he truly enjoys. Theme song: Greg Allman, " I'm no Angel."
