• an excellent run at the World Trail and Mountain Running Championships being the 2nd Irish runner home in the 45km Short Trail Race
• 2nd o45 at the World Masters Mountain Running Championships
• and then going on to win the 045 Title at the National Marathon Championships 2 weeks ago in Dublin in a time 2h26m
• aswell as coaching the new sensation of Irish Athletics, Ava Crean to the Marathon National Senior Title at just 19 years of age

Lots to talk about indeed with John and then as always we have the excellent René Borg from Running Coach Ireland talking to us about the fourth performance pillar after  VO₂max, lactate threshold, and running economy — Resilience.
