Irishman Running Abroad: “How To Eat Like A Runner: Sonia's No-Nonsense January Eating Guide"

Jarlath has fallen off the health and fitness wagon so many times in the last 20 years it’s now his routine. Sonia thinks she knows why. She explains why setting the bar too high is the number one reason why New Year’s resolutions tend to fail. Although he’s not known as a running guru Francis Brennan provides one of the best tips on the size necessary for a resolution to work. Jarlath digs into the idea of viewing any healthy changes as additions rather than deprivations and opens up about his fear of blowing his progress on Cadbury Celebrations. We get Sonia's extensive guide to making your own muesli and why it’s not as hard as it sounds, a handy new wrap snack recipe and the definitive guide to making Sonia’s Powerballs from scratch. There’s a heart-breaking listener email, an incident involving Jarlath overstepping the. Line with a dog and definitive discussion of whether toast is a good or a bad thing for runners.  Be kind to yourself and others this January.
