For the Love of Donkeys, Virtual Marathons and the difference in the mental approach to the Long Run

In this week's episode of the podcast, Seán and Eric talk about their experiences last week at the Arnold Sports Festival in Birmingham, England... along with their newfound need for a donkey.

We also catch up with Seán's progress as he trains for a marathon in two weeks time and how a difference in mental approach to a long run can have a huge difference on results!

Any Given Training Day Yoga Coach Jill Leonard joins the lads to talk about doing the London Virtual Marathon last week, best practices for planning a virtual marathon at home and planning on doing the Dublin Marathon in 2 weeks time as well.

No Easy E on the podcast this week so Seán is riding solo. We're breaking down today's episode into two parts.

The first part is on Alcohol consumption and running. Don't worry, we are not going to get all preachy about not drinking alcohol, especially after our conversations on the podcast over the last few weeks. But we talk about the different effects alcohol can have on you both physically and mentally in your state and decision making that can further hinder your progress.

We mention these three links in the podcast:

In the second part of the podcast, Seán talks about his biggest running mistake and how you can avoid it.
