An Irishman Abroad

After relocating to America, Sonia explains to Jarlath how the ghost town of Nike’s HQ campus employs a steamroller to manicure its grass, the weird coincidence that produced a chance meeting with a competitor from her past and how she managed to charm her way into getting a vaccination within 48 hours of hitting American soil. The focus then turns to the most overlooked perils of running and how we might avoid these dangers. There’s a tribute to our fallen running club ambassador Gillian Ryan and the announcement of a run in her memory on May 2nd. Paula Radcliffe takes inspiration from Sonia and ing time listener Séamus McAteer is the first caller to the Irishman Abroad WhatsApp Live Line.   Join our running event on strava.com/clubs/irishmanrunningabroad and help raise vitally needed funds for our chosen charity partner jigsaw.ie and all the work they do to support young people in Ireland.     To gain access to the entire back-catalogue of over 400 Irishman Abroad episodes that are not available on iTunes f
