Even if you’re an avid runner, the fear of injury can be huge. Today Sonia examines a few of the core ideas behind staying healthy and injury avoidance. It’s a subject close to Jar’s heart as he spent almost a decade with a severe injury. Overcoming the fear is tough but Sonia is here to help. From training load to variation, shoes to the actual meaning of “listening to your body” this is a must listen for all runners of all levels.

Tony Cascarino is back to finish what Jarlath began in 2013. A conversation reflecting on life, football post Covid, the loss and impact of Jack Charlton, his tumultuous relationship with Roy Keane and lots more. Cas devoted his life to football and Ireland but things took a turn after he wrote an autobiography with friend of the show Paul Kimmage. Together Jarlath and Tony finally set the record straight.

A leak is a very rare thing when it comes to the Supreme Court but it has been a week of rare things in America. One time Trump critic, JD Vance stormed to victory in Ohio with the help of Peter Thiel’s chequebook and an admission that he says stupid things in public. While the whole country remained glued to a celebrity car crash trial like no other, Democrats are counting on their base getting so angry about the possible overturning of abortion laws that they will get to the polls in November. Marion is not so sure. Can feelings of that kind can be sustained and harnessed for that long in a world of scrolling outrage that changes week to week? Finally Jarlath asks Marion why the world can’t seem to look away from Amber Heard and Johnny Depp publicly mutilating each other in a Virginia Courthouse.
If you have a question you’d like to submit for Marion it’s easy, email irishmanabroadpodcast@gmail,com or send a voice memo to the Liveline on 0044 7543 122 330.

Whether it’s Katie Taylor grabbing her title from the jaws of defeat or a club runner like Ellis Cross beating Mo Farah in the Vitality 10000, examples of mental toughness were all around us this past weekend. But what exactly is this quality? Is it a skill? Can it be coached or built? Who better to ask than the woman who made the whole country feel like “it ain’t over til it’s over” every time she took off from the starter’s pistol. Sonia takes me on a deep dive into her thoughts on the strange and evolving subject of resilience. Whether you’re a runner or not, you need to hear this. We also grabbed some sights and sounds from the Vitality event just hours before recording this chat. I spoke to Trevor Cummins, Paul Brennan and Paul Downing about an epic Irishman Running Abroad meetup event.

Nicola Tallant is the award winning Irish crime journalist, writer and podcast behind books such as Clash Of The Clans, Flesh & Blood and The Witness which told the tragic story Joey “The Lips” O’Callaghan. She has made it her life’s work to report on Ireland’s most violent criminals, drug gangs and the wider issues of criminality. When you read her work and listen to her podcasts it’s not hard to see why she is the three time (and current) holder of the Irish Crime Journalist of the Year title. In this conversation I had the chance to ask about current state of Ireland and its drug epidemic, her introduction to the crime journalism and why she is never scared. In the extended cut (Patreon) we have the space and time to talk about the newer crime bosses such as Mr Flashy and what makes them different, verifiable truth and her instinct when looking a source in the eyes, and much more.

From the Ukraine to Virginia, the battle over which version of the truth is more correct has raged this week while Elon Musk learns why even he doesn’t want absolute free speech. I interrupt Marion’s well earned holiday in Ireland to get her take on what just happened with Twitter, that interview with Piers Morgan, the US policy change in Ukraine, history making droughts in California and the Johnny Depp she used to know. There is a lot packed into this one. If you have a question you’d like to submit for Marion it’s easy, email irishmanabroadpodcast@gmail,com or send a voice memo to the Liveline on 0044 7543 122 330.

Nobody knows 10,000 metres quite like the record holder and legend Sonia O’Sullivan. She talks to me today about why this distance can be so tricky to run fast and so much fun to train for. With only a week to go until the Vitality 10,000 in London, a race Sonia has run in the past, we dial in coach Trevor Cummins in Cobh. He explains why we all need to find out where we are with 10K before heading out and trying to run it as fast as possible. Sonia reveals a cheeky little equation you can use to calculate your best time and I have a revelation about why I am tanking in all my long runs! We head around the parishes to see what our listeners have been running, get Sonia’s tip of the week and much more. Why not get the full episode with even more advice on the sessions that work best for 10K training by becoming a supporter of Irishman Abroad on patreon.com/irishmanabroad

Whether he was representing Robert DeNiro or the estate of Andy Warhol, working homicide in New York City or defending his friends, Eddie Hayes won respect wherever he went. In this deep dive conversation he talks to me about the route he took from being a street fighting kid struggling to survive his abusive father to fighting the biggest cases for the biggest clients imaginable. He reveals why the art business was far dirtier than the mafia, explains why he feels no remorse for “hurting people” along the way, his dealings with Trump, the one time Ghislaine Maxwell made a pass at his wife, the sting he created to fix a problem for DeNiro and much much more. I couldn’t have enjoyed this conversation more. Huge thanks to our mutual friend Marion McKeone for setting this conversation up for me.

I sat down with Marion McKeone for our usual Friday catch up on all things America and one story jumped to the top of our list. The crash of Netflix’s stock this weekend has been epic. Some are saying that the worst is yet to come as subscribers leave the platform behind. Marion explains what is behind the shift and tells me if there is any saving the giant or will Apple, HBO, Prime & Hulu swallow it whole. Ron DeSantis is looking more and more like the Republican candidate for 2024 no matter what the Orange Lad thinks. Is his latest publicity stunt as the anti-woke guru enough to win Trump’s voters in Florida? We also get Marion’s recommendation for what’s good this weekend.

Running is an imperfect science, we should know this but how do we spot mistakes we might not know we are making? Sonia O’Sullivan takes Jarlath through a few of the errors she sees runners of all levels make with their training. There’s advice on everything from recovery, pacing, mindset, motivation, planning and life packed into this huge episode. You really need to hear the whole thing. Recorded while the 2022 Boston Marathon unfolded from Sonia’s training camp in Flagstaff, Arizona, Jar puts listener questions to the Irish athletics icon and reads out two excellent embarrassing running stories. Thanks to our supporters on Patreon who in return for as little as £5 a month gain access to double size episodes, episode notes and our archive from the last 8 years.
