The spirit of Parkrun is not centred around beating your fastest time but if there’s a wall there, you may as well try and jump over it some time. You can sit on it, arrange to meet friends at the wall, chew the fat and have fun but occasionally it’s ok to jump it. With the help of the Queen of Irish athletics you can instantly take minutes off your time. You’re not going to believe how glaringly obvious and ingenious her tips are. Profound wisdom that is hard won from her years training and winning all around the world. Later in the show elite physical therapist and coach Vinny Mulvey joins me to discuss the best way to prepare your week to run fast on a Saturday morning and how to make a Rocky trilogy in a month of Parkruns. You’ll be standing with both fists in the air at the end of this episode.

Will The Rock be a future candidate for President of The United States? Will Trump be convicted and go to jail over the missing files? And who killed Tupac? On this week’s podcast, Marion tackles America’s most un-answerable questions, from politics to celebrities to celebrities entering politics and back again.
Who will be the next celebrity to take American politics by storm? Marion parses out who could be the next Trump. With former comedian Zelensky running the show in war torn Ukraine and America’s history with celebrity presidents, Marion discusses future stars turned global politicians.
What does a competent Government mean for public opinion in the States? Marion discusses how a capable Government is equated with dullness as Biden has led a stable term in the Oval Office. In the aftermath of Trump’s disastrous tenure, Marion feels Biden’s stable government is not viewed as it probably deserves.
After Trump’s indictment will we see prison time for the former President? Marion gives a couple of the most jaw dropping theories doing the rounds on what could happen if he is convicted, including the possibility of a pardon by the current Democratic president!
What issues should Americans be up in arms about? Should Americans seek to abolish the Electoral College and the Senate? Marion breaks down which states are shafted in representation by the current electoral system.
Why do American’s have such low sympathy for Biden’s embattled son Hunter?
—- Over on Patreon — in the XL edition of the show you can hear:
Is there ever a possibility of assault rifles being taken off the streets in America. Marion brings new hope as California’s Governor Gavin Newsom works to pass a new amendment that could alter the iconic second amendment. What do the Democratic Governor’s ideas involve and could they come to fruition?
What is the state of abortion law after the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe V Wade? Marion discusses the patchwork quilt of injustice that has taken over the US as women are suffering in restrictive states. However, even conservative states are fighting back with Kansas holding a referendum on abortion rights that could bring hope in other places in the future.
Are American’s worried about AI? More importantly, should they be? Marion and Jarlath chat about AI use in America and what it means for workers across multiple sectors as it has the potential to affect the job security of many, from truck drivers to screen writers. Marion also looks at how it could affect disinformation campaigns in the upcoming election.
Finally, they address the all important mystery of who shot Tupac Shakur on the Vegas strip in 1996? Marion presents an interesting theory as Jarlath discusses the idea of reparations for slavery in America.

Marion McKeone of the Sunday Business Post heads to Miami to experience all the madness of Donald Trump’s second indictment. The circus is back in town just when it looked like the show was over. Are there some delinquent children that are so disruptive we are better off removing and ignoring them than pursuing each and every crime and misdemeanour they might be guilty of? Is letting Trump back in the door too high a price for justice?

Sonia O'Sullivan chats to comedian & running newbie Jarlath Regan about the latest news in world athletics and how to adjust your running training when things are no longer going to plan. The ability to change is what separates the good from the great. Sonia is Ireland's greatest track athlete ever so she knows a thing or two about adjust. As a coach at Union Athletic Club in Nike's Portland HQ, her job is to spot the changes other athletes need to make. She identifies the best way to get your self out of a training funk through self assessment and honest feedback from people you trust. Later in the show she takes questions from the listeners on "over training", returning from injury and how to adjust your training as you get older. It's a jam packed episode with Jarlath taking on a gym session with elite Irish coach Vinny Mulvey for the very first time.

The only way is up now for DeSantis. As he begins his campaign in person, what new set of circumstances could hand him the win even after this debacle. A tornado, physical or legally hitting Trump, is not out of the question. We look at Ron’s chances alongside some other politicians in the running and where they fall in the GOP rankings. (Go to www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad to access the full.)
How did one woman’s complaint lead to the banning of American poet laureate Amanda Gorman’s poem in a Miami school district? Marion discusses DeSantis’ regressive laws in Florida and how they’re impacting education, such as controlling the discussion of slavery in classrooms across the state.
What’s going to happen with the debt ceiling? As Marion feels my eyes roll back into my head discuss this never ending snooze fest of a news story. Could this trigger a global recession? And do American’s want a president that is right and conciliatory or wrong and strong? As always, Marion explains.
I’ll be doing my latest standup show in Liverpool, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Armagh, Kilkenny, Naas, Birmingham, London and Tralee to why not grab a ticket while you can. All the other dates have fully sold out!

In 1987 at the Cork City Sports meet, a seventeen year old Sonia O’Sullivan ran a time for 3000 metres that would have qualified her for the 1988 Olympics. It was the race that put her on the map. We go back to that summer’s evening when the legend in the making took a bus from Cobh to Cork to stomp her opposition into the ground. Injury adversity would strike soon after but it was this taste of success that drove her through the long weeks of rehab that would follow. How exaclty was the mindset of athletes in 1987 different today? What can it teach us about resilience and toughness? Is talking about problems the right answer to all problems or can we make them bigger by expanding the headspace they occupy?
The Irishman Running Abroad Podcast is Ireland’s number 1 running podcast and each week examines a different aspect of training. This week we catch up with the GOAT as she travels to Washington to visit her daughter Sophie - an NCAA athlete on the rise herself. The “grand” forests and hills, the lunch box of champions and a trip around the Strava parishes for Sonia’s runners of the week make up the rest of this jam packed episode of Ireland’s favourite running podcast.
