Round-Up | Almgren's stunning New York finish to win on marathon debut and tributes to Ciara Mageean

Hannah and Rich round-up the best of the racing from the New York City Marathon, where Andreas Almgren lived up the hype by winning on his debut over the distance by producing one of the quickest ever finishes. There's reaction to Sheila Chepkurui's win, with Jess McClain's second place putting an American on the podium for the first time in eight years, and Marcel Hug being given a big test by Daniel Romanchuk. But we start the podcast by paying tribute to 2024 European 1500m champion Ciara Mageean, who has died at the age of 34 following a battle with cancer.
