If a run happens in the woods and there’s no watch there to record it and post it to Strava, did a run ever happen at all? Is the measuring of running ruining running? Sonia O’Sullivan and comedian Jarlath Regan ask whether the focus on data and super advanced technology is sucking the joy out of running? Later in the episode Sonia looks at the limits of data analytics for elite athletes and the one measurement even elite coaches are reluctant to ask their athletes about. One listener hits a big milestone and Jarlath experiments with low heart rate running. “Running is a long term relationship with yourself” according to Sonia. How can we make it one that lasts rather than a fling? Pop over to Patreon to see footage from Jarlath’s latest road trip and listen to an extra 30 mins deep dive on this subject.

Jarlath Regan sits down with Rozanna Purcell to talk life changing decisions, passion and exploring Ireland. Roz is a broadcaster, content creator and author based in Ireland who has travelled the world for multiple reasons. At first it was for modelling but then she did what very few manage to do.

In this great insight into Ireland she brings her passion for hiking to the page. Rozanna shares 50 of her favourite hikes from all around Ireland, from Donegal to Kilcash. Each hike includes levels of difficulty, all the details you need to know about the trail, where to get the best views along your journey and incredible places nearby to visit, from food stops to stunning beaches. Rozanna also shares practical tips for the outdoors, including layering, backpack essentials and useful precautions, apps and websites, making this an essential guide for both beginners and intrepid explorers.
