Aussie Globe Trotting, Mile/3k/5k Star Stewart McSweyn (Guest)

Last week did a live video talk with Aussie miler, 3k, 5k star, Stewy McSweyn, as he entered quarantine. He's still locked in his quarantine and it's out now as a podcast.

McSweyn recounts his great 2021 year, his globetrotting ways, discusses who is the GOAT of Australian distance running, what country is best in the 4x mile, and what his relationships is with his rivals Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Timonty Cheruiyot.
