Whether you're injured or PB'ing every race, finding running easy or bored off your head by the thought of it...chances are some form of cross training is going to enhance your experience. Sonia O'Sullivan, the queen of Irish athletics, makes the case for the one part of running that most people avoid. She talks to Jarlath Regan about the massive return you can see from even a little swimming, cycling or gym work. If the thought of that makes you groan, Sonia's wise words might turn your head.
It's a little over a week until she lands back in Ireland and her home town of Cobh. That's right, the Ballymore Cobh AC annual home-coming dance - the Sonia O'Sullivan Cobh 10 Mile Road Race is almost here. We hear from a few members of the squad Sonia handpicked to coach over the last 12 weeks. How should your pace change in race consisting of big hills and rolling descents? Sonia has the answer.

Sonia has read every email, letter and postcard. She has deliberated long into the night to find the best collection of talent and stories to form her squad for the road to Cobh 2024. Today we reveal who they are and hear some of their inspirational journeys. Which member of the team are you most like? There's someone for everyone. You can match your training plan to their's and take the journey Cobh too. This is a one of a kind episode with something for everyone in it.Sonia explains the difference between and easy and a "regular run". It's a subject that ex-elite athlete, now elite physical therapist, Vinny Mulvey and I have been exploring for the last 60 days. For the London Marathon 2024 I'm running for Kidney Care UK and I'm using low heart rate training to build the aerobic base that failed me in Dublin last October. So far it has been a revelatory experience. At first, mind numbingly boring, then agonising, then joyous - the process of learning to run properly slow on my easy days has not been easy. Vinny takes me on the Seb Coe loop of Ashbourne, Co. Meath to explain some of the more difficult questions surrounding low heart rate training.To hear the full episode and gain access to Sonia's full training plans and advice for training for every distance from 5k to the marathon head to www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad

If a run happens in the woods and there’s no watch there to record it and post it to Strava, did a run ever happen at all? Is the measuring of running ruining running? Sonia O’Sullivan and comedian Jarlath Regan ask whether the focus on data and super advanced technology is sucking the joy out of running? Later in the episode Sonia looks at the limits of data analytics for elite athletes and the one measurement even elite coaches are reluctant to ask their athletes about. One listener hits a big milestone and Jarlath experiments with low heart rate running. “Running is a long term relationship with yourself” according to Sonia. How can we make it one that lasts rather than a fling? Pop over to Patreon to see footage from Jarlath’s latest road trip and listen to an extra 30 mins deep dive on this subject.

Marathon week is a tense time. Even though you’re meant to be relaxing a bit, the sense of “hurry up and wait” can have you thinking some pretty silly thoughts. Sonia O’Sullivan helps to calm the mind with some solid tips and stories from her week and running career. We then sift through the race day tips and hints from our loyal legion of listeners. Finally I go to Vinny Mulvey for a race week rub down. Refreshing my legs and my self belief, Vinny is full of sound advice on keeping things very simple just when your mind wants to over think.
