In this episode I chat with my coach and long time friend Donncha Long about the sub 3 hour program that both he and I used for the Cork City Marathon. I missed out by 51 seconds but Donn smashed it running 2:56! We also chatted about Ironman as Donn is a certified Ironman coach. We talked sea swimming skills, transitions and how to make the most of your training on a bike. And of course we talked Ultra as both of us gear up to Kerry Way Ultra Full 200km race in September. Peace and love, Con.

In this episode I follow on from the first part of this podcast where I discussed my experience of becoming a father. I discuss how it is okay for fathers not to know everything all of the time, how the dynamic of mother/baby relationship can effect a father and much more. I hope that fathers, expecting fathers and non fathers can take something from the episode. Peace and love, Con.

In this episode I talk about the history of NY Hip Hop starting from the formation of break beats and break dancers, the evolution of DJ's and MC's and the driving factors behind the success and down fall of New York Hip Hop and its revival in the mid 1990's. Grab a pen and paper for this episode as I list off mant songs and albums for you to check out. The episode ends at NY Hip Hop in 1995 and a future part 2 episode will continue from that point to the 2000's and beyond. Peace and love, Con.

In this episode I chat about injury and illness and how these things can sometimes ground us to a halt when we are trying to achieve a goal. I chat about how I deal with them in a way that allows me to retain fitness and I also discuss how much fitness you actually lose when not training and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Peace and love, Con.

In this episode I chat to clinical dietician and endurance nutrition expert Evan Lynch. We discuss the most important things to keep in mind when seeking to maintain a healthy weight and relationship with food and we also discuss nutrition for endurance athletes. Peace and love, Con.

In this episode I talk about some mental cues to use when you're in your own head during something hard - be it a presentation, an interview or a tough training session. Peace and love, Con.

Be the person you want others to be. Peace and love, Con.

In this episode I chat about the difference between the "goal" mindset and the "growth" and how they can each play a part in the achievement of what we set our sights on. I have had a goal orientated mindset in certain times throughout my life but I felt it didn't allow me the flexibility necessary to gain a better understanding of myself. Peace and love, Con.

In this episode I talk about changing my body composition for better sporting performance and how I am doing it sustainably with my mental well being in mind. I think the modern day view on fat loss has plainly gotten out of control. I'll discuss this topic more in coming podcasts. Peace and love, Con.
