An Irishman Abroa‪d‬ Jarlath Regan

Marion is back on the road after the bizarro-fest known as CPAC. We get the full review of the Orange Lad’s fire hose speech, the anti-mask freak outs, the Proud Boy paraphernalia for sale, Ted Cruz’s lead balloon standup routine and aggressive friendliness. Then it’s on to the new threat that shut down the Capitol building yesterday as we look at the plucked from the air deadlines of QAnon. There’s time to talk about Harry and Meghan date with Oprah and why it is being flogged to death by the network. We hear why Jarred & Ivanka are MIA and why Melania has yet to serve those divorce papers. Finally we look ahead to Marion’s next career as an astronaut and our upcoming episode with Laura Whitmore.

It’s remarkable that it has taken us 6 months to get to the issue of balance in running given it is perhaps the most essential component of biomechanics and the training itself. Sonia leads Jarlath through the basic theory of teaching your feet to react to changes in your body position. There’s a look at some of the more unusual training exercises to improve the reaction of our proprioceptors and how to pronounce proprioceptors. There’s the new book club section with the announcement of our first book choice, “Shoe Dog” by Phil Knight. Sonia then broadens the discussion of balance into our wider training and explains to Jarlath why running slowly needs to be the biggest part of his week.

Mark Horgan joins Jarlath for an in depth discussion about the production and impact of his global hit podcast series, “Where Is George Gibney?”. We hear of Mark’s first awareness of the case and how eve the was confused as to whether Gibney was imprisoned for the initial sexual abuse charges against him. Jarlath digs into the exact judicial loophole that allowed Gibney to leave the country and evade. We get an inside look into Mark’s initial hesitancy to pursue the project out of concern for the victims, the overarching aim to tell their stories and his own views on how we sometimes try to explain away pure evil in others. 
The victims and their courage is a central focus of the discussion and Jarlath asks Mark about the significance of Gary O’Toole in the process. Later in the conversation we hear about the moment Mark confronted Gibney face to face and how Florida gun laws had him and Ciaran Cassidy on edge at all times. Now that Mark has returned to his old stomping ground with the Second Captains team and the dust has somewhat settled, there is time to reflect on what just happened. What does a new Garda investigation into Gibney mean? What will Mark do next and would ever consider leaving the team and doing it by himself?

Marion is on her way to CPAC. Jarlath, like a lot of people, hasn’t a notion what that is. Marion explains its significance and how Donald Trump’s appearance there on Sunday could be the beginning of his next run for the White House. Before all that they look at Tiger Woods and his near miss this week. Jarlath also asks about Florida and why it seems to be the most bizarre state in America.  There’s also a look ahead to this Sunday’s episode with the creator of the “Where Is George Gibney” podcast Mark Horgan and tonight’s comedy club with Ardal O’Hanlon.

Lockdown malaise can kill a run before it happens. Sonia chats to Jarlath about motivating ourselves when it feels like we can’t get out the door. Trying to encourage your friends, family or kids to join you on a run can seem like an impossible task. Jarlath asks Sonia if there’s an easier way to get your child interested in exercise. For the first time we hear about her challenges motivating both of her daughters. We also get some timely advice on running hills and admission from Sonia on the difficulty she has with our latest Strava event.

This week, Virgin Media News Reporter Richard Chambers makes a welcome return to the show after many requests from listeners in recent weeks for an episode just like this.
Richard gives us the most up-to-date status on the vaccine rollout in Ireland, explains the reasons for its slow progress and addresses whether Boris may have been right about the power being truly with a country's independence from Europe.
