Irishman Running Abroad With Sonia O’Sullivan Jarlath Regan

You asks Sonia O’Sullivan answers. The mailbag is open and no topic is left uncovered. How to train for a mile, how to recover, how to breathe, how to negotiate peri menopause, how to run back to back marathons, the best supplement right now and does she ever think about that Olympic gold that got away.

Sitting down for prolonged periods is bad for everyone especially runners. For a lot of us it is unavoidable and likely to cause an injury like the one Jarlath suffered before the London Marathon. This week with the help of Sonia and Vinny Mulvey, he invested in some simple exercises to offset the impact of all that sitting making podcasts! These simple techniques could help you improve your form, avoid injury and get strong fast. Vinny Mulvey goes a bit deeper over on Patreon in the extended cut of the podcast. We find out what marginal gains can be found in making small changes to your lifestyle. www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad

Whatever your target over the 5 kilometre distance, Sonia has the advice to get you there. Today we start the process of helping Jarlath and the listeners get their 5k experience to where they want it to be. What’s the key to setting the right goal? Why won’t one particular thing get you there? Now is the time to join in and have fun getting faster.

Sonia’s squad of hand-picked listeners head to Cobh after 3 months of training under her guidance. Jarlath takes us inside the race weekend, the build up, the race itself and the celebrations in the pub afterwards.

If you’re running you need a bit of cross training in your week - why do we all find it so hard? And can Sonia O’Sullivan help? Yes she can!
