    22 DE MAI.

    Sorcha Loughnane - The Outlier

    Sorcha Loughnane's progress has been remarkable over the last few years. Since her first Marathon she has gone on to represent Ireland in the 50Km European Championships finishing 6th in a time of 3:26:46. She has won the 50Km National Championship title twice and currently holds the Irish National 50Km Record with a time of 3:18:04. This time is also a World Age Group Best performance for O45. She bettered the previous Record of 3:20:33 which Sorcha already held. She has won a few long distance Trail Races outright and recently finished 2nd in the Maurice Mullins Ultra to earn a place on the Irish Team competing in the European Off Road Running Championships 2024 in Annecy, France. Sorcha is also a talented Marathon Runner and finished 3rd in the Irish National Championships 2023. I could go on but would prefer if you'd have a listen and let Sorcha tell you the rest.

    Barry Loftus - Marathon des Sables

    In this episode I'm joined by Barry Loftus, a recent finisher of the Marathon des Sables, a 250Km Stage Race in the Sahara Desert. The MdS is a race that has always been popular with runners from Ireland and it's one that I get asked a lot of questions about. My knowledge of the race is fading and I used this opportunity to ask questions that help with anyone planning to take on this or any other similar event. We talk about the training, the kit selection, what to expect when over there and how to prepare for your return. Barry has also recently published a book that documents his journey to the start line and then his experience in the Desert. Instagram @strandfitness.ie Buy the Book.

    Wayne Spies - Comrades Marathon

    Wayne Spies is an Australian International Ultrarunner. He is famed for his serial participation in South Africa’s iconic Comrades Marathon. What's more, for a man who never showed much athletic talent during his formative years, his achievement is made even more remarkable by the fact that he broke three-time champion and Olympian Vladimir Kotov's 11-year-old Masters record of 05:48:12 on his way to stopping the clock in 05:42:00. I caught up with Wayne at the IAU 50Km World Championships 2023 in Hyderabad, India. We had a very insightful talk about Ultra Running including the training, racing and most importantly the recovery. Wayne places a lot of emphasis on the recovery part of the training. Hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed the talking. If you enjoy this or any of the recent podcasts then please consider leaving a review or sharing. Thanks, John Instagram @johnoregan777

Alex shares his experience and offers advice to anyone planning to run a Marathon. Alex has a Marathon PB of 2:34:23 and in 2018 he set himself a challenge of running 32 Marathons within 16 days.

I went on to Pace London every year until 2015 and was also one of the first Dublin Marathon Pacers. In 2022 I again Paced London (3:30) with a Sports Travel Agency from Los Angeles. #marathon #dublinmarathon #marathonpacing #ultrarunning
