Welcome to Episode 74 of the Trail Running Ireland Podcast, sponsored by EcoTrail Wicklow 2023! 

Imagine a scenario when you are at one of the biggest trail races in the world, the temperature turns, freezing conditions set it, hard rain turns to hard golf balls of sleet and lightning is striking the ground just metres away. How would you react, what would you do? Well John Williams found himself in the middle of that terrifying electric storm last week at Val Daran by UTMB and in todays show, John tells us all about it and how it´s unfortunately the second time that John has been involved in a UTMB race that has been suspended.

We´ve also got our coaching slot coming with Rene Borg from Running Coach Ireland where we anaylyse the term "Specific Endurance" for trail running.

Everybody get your running gear on, lets go!
