An Irishman Abroad Jarlath Regan

Marion McKeone of the Sunday Business Post looks back on a discombobulating week for the MAGA faithful. Does Hunter Biden’s conviction change anything? Should anyone running for office have to take a basic cognitive test? How has Elon Musk convinced his shareholders to pay him roughly $50 billion? Is the Washington Post doomed?

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?

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

While ”The Portal” in Dublin revealed something more than people willing to drop their pants for a cheap laugh, Donald Trump’s hush money trial is revealing a lot more than who paid for what.
