Always worth a listen 👌

Episode 137 of the Trail Running Ireland Podcast now out. 🎧🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️🏔

In this weeks show we’re talking about something nearly every runner has an opinion on: running with other people.

➡️ Is running with others actually better for us?
➡️ Can it improve performance and motivation?
➡️ Or can it quietly push us into training harder than we should and blunt performance levels?
➡️ Lets discuss!

Everyone, get your running gear on, lets go!

Roady running things…can help build the engine for traily advantages 😉

⭐️ Ep 2 now out! ⭐️

In Episode 2 we discuss why effective marathon training needs to feel "easy" as well as how to grow your marathon engine through consistent aerobic work that you can repeat and absorb daily, weekly and monthly.

We also chat about how to build the long run without wrecking the rest of the week and indeed the entire marathon build!

New 🌟

Episode 1 now out!!

If you've got an Autumn Marathon in your calendar, you've probably already asked yourself one uncomfortable question. Am I behind?

Maybe your longest run is nowhere near what the plan you downloaded says it should be.

Maybe spring got eaten by work, or family, or a ni**le that wouldn't go away.

Or maybe you've got a finish time written down somewhere, and lately you're not so sure your training actually backs it up.

So — fifteen weeks out — what actually matters right now?

Rene Borg and Eoin Flynn from Running Coach Ireland are here to help listeners judge their real starting point and choose a marathon approach that fits the training they can consistently absorb.
