An Irishman Abroad Jarlath Regan

Your crazy uncle and your feeble uncle attempted to duke it out last night. And it was not pretty.  It’s a night that put Donald in the driving seat and the Dems scrambling for answers. Can Joe make it to November?

Running your fastest 5km isn’t all about running more. As Sonia explains in today’s episode, it has just as much to do with what you do when you’re not running. Without proper recovery methods nobody gets faster.

Marion McKeone of the Sunday Business Post looks back on a discombobulating week for the MAGA faithful. Does Hunter Biden’s conviction change anything?

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.

Donald Trump has indeed been found guilty of all 34 counts of falsifying business records in a criminal hush-money scheme to influence the outcome of the 2016 election. Were you surprised? Marion McKeone explains the implications of the verdict to me. We examine how we got to this day, how it might impact swing voters, will Eric Trump ever get a hug, how likely are we to see this thing overturned or DJT on the side of a freeway picking up cans with a stick. In a week when pressure mounted on beleaguered President Biden to change his approach with Israel, isn’t all this just a distraction from what is really important in the world right now?
