An Irishman Abroad

The strange power of doing less is the focus of this conversation with the great Sonia O'Sullivan. A "down week" isn't just essential to big race preparation, it's the central pillar of any training plan. Sonia reveals her team captains for the "Irishman Running Abroad Half Marathon Challenge" and we hear the names of some of the individuals who have been called up to the squad. Together they will train under the watchful Strava eye of the former world champ in the hope of running their best in Larne on August 28th at the Antrim Coast Half Marathon.   In the exclusive Patreon extended cut (available now via www.returnofthecraic.compatreon.com/irishmanabroad ) Sonia gives us her "Ranaldo Strides" workout, explains the benefits of being late for your Park Run and takes to her home county to shoutout some incredible performances in the rain at the Cork City Marathon. Don't forget the new fully "clickable" episode notes are attached to the episode on Patreon. They feature the bananas gym circuit courtesy to
