In empty stadiums across Europe and the Middle East, Stewart McSweyn and Jessica Hull have quietly become a pair of Australia’s greatest-ever distance runners | mickgleeson

In Doha early Saturday, McSweyn smashed yet another national record claiming the 1500m national record. He now holds all of the 1500m, 3000m and 10,000m national records.Refusing to be overshadowed, Hull clocked 8:36.03 in the women's 3000m to become the first Australian woman to hold the 1500m, 3000m and 5000m national records simultaneously.

Only weeks ago, McSweyn broke the 3000m national record and last year at the Zatopek at Albert Park, he claimed the 10,000m record. “Any race you lead you know in such a high quality field you are going to have guys hunting you. I was making sure I held it together, knowing if I slipped up even 2 per cent I was going to get caught by that whole second pack so I had to just keep hammering once the pace dropped down and I was able to execute that.”
