Dublin Sprint: A Breeding Ground for Irish Olympic-Level Sprinters


Listen Later

Coaches Jeremy Lyons, Gerard O'Donnell, and Aideen Synott have created a high performing environment for sprinters in Ireland to thrive both collegiately and post-collegiately. Through years of hard work and collaboration, they've enabled the likes of Sophie Becker, Cillian Greene, and Jack Raftery to become Olympians, European medalists, and household names in Irish Athletics.

In this episode, Jeremy and Gerard began by discussing how the club came to be and the characteristics they look for in prospective athletes before diving deep into the details of their annual training plan and how they manage volume, intensity, and density throughout the year, but perhaps what is most impressive and noteworthy, is how they adapt when met with constraints and opportunities in season.

If you like learning from passionate coaches who think outside the box to get the most out of their athletes, look no further than this conversation -- thank you Jeremy and Gerard.
