#655 - Craig Kirkwood

On 31 January 2026, 16-year-old New Zealand running sensation Sam Ruthe ran a world-record indoor mile time of 3:48.88. New Zealand middle-distance runner Sam Tanner is a two-time Olympian and currently holds several national records and titles. Both Sam's are coached by Kiwi Craig Kirkwood. We chat to CK about his coaching philosophies and his incredible success with the development of young athletes in New Zealand. He emphasises the importance of competition, his experiences of managing injury and the role of plyometrics in training.

We also chat to CK about his success in creating a supportive training environment for his athletes and the ripple effect that has in inspiring younger athletes in New Zealand.
