An Irishman Abroad

Sonia returns to the hills and roads that built her this week. Yes, it’s the 2023 Ballymore Cobh AC Sonia O’Sullivan 10 Mile Road Race and I was there to capture all of the sights and sounds of this unique event. Hundreds of runners of all levels lined up to take on the hills and I brought the microphone along for the ride. Thanks to Steve Daly, my running companion on the day, there is a condensed video of the race available to watch on www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad. From the pre-race vaseline to the post-race after party, this episode captures it all and is bound to give you a little bit of homesickness. Later in the episode Sonia and Vinny Mulvey advise me on how to navigate “maranoia” as the London Marathon looms large on the horizon. My big goal this year is Dublin. If you’ve like to train with me and Sonia, why not subscribe now and come with us on the journey.   I am also on tour right now. I’ll be doing my latest standup show in Liverpool, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Armagh, Galway, Cork and Trale
