An Irishman Abroad

Creating your own training schedule for the week might seem difficult but with the help of the greatest Irish track athlete of all time and now coach at Union Athletic Club, Sonia O'Sullivan, it can be easy. She talks to Jarlath about the core aspects to consider when sketching out your running timetable for any given week and takes a closer look at marathon training in the second part of the show. It's been a busy week and Sonia is finally back in Ireland for some much needed rest. (She calls a 70km bike ride a rest.) Meanwhile Jarlath is on the way back to London for shows this week. Jar awaits a big telling off for running in two races on Saturday - the Ratoath Half and the Drumiskin 5K. This is a really thorough episode looking at all the aspects of planning with some big big laughs thrown in for good measure. — If you’d like to contact me, that is easy too. You know what to do! 1.
