Irishman Running Abroad with Sonia O'Sullivan: “Sonia's Essential Guide For Your Return To Running"

Following a bizarre incident involving a stray dog, Sonia finds herself on the examination table looking down the barrel of a health situation she has never faced before. The journey back to running after a layoff is something the Irish legend reflects upon with Jarlath. Together they examine the essential components of a thoughtful comeback. Sonia opens up about her like of self-kindness during her career and how that has changed now. An email from a listener allows Jarlath to realise something his coach has been telling him for 6 months and there’s a review of the Cobh 10 mile virtual road race plus lots lots more.  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 for just the price of a pint every month visit www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad.
