Flip The Script

Welcome to Season 2! In this episode I talk about turning 30, my DNF at Kerry Way Ultra and I talk about failure and how it can be utilised as a positive force. I also speak about the love and admiration I have for those who support the podcast by listening and sharing. 

The final Episode of Season One! In this episode I tell a story of when I stayed with a family for a rugby blitz in Tuam at aged 11 and the madness that ensued at the house. I also make a number of big announcements. Season One over and out, thank you all so much. Peace and love, Con.

In this episode I talk about my Kilorglin 12 hour race. The stuff I ate and drank, the people I met, some thoughts that I had and much more. Hope y'all enjoy. Peace and love, Con.

In this episode I tell a funny story from my childhood involving a handmade raft. I also discuss the merits of the 5,4,3,2,1 Grounding Technique and I read a meditation script I wrote.

In this episode I tell the story of Oisín, Niamh and Tír na nÒg. It is a story that has many nuggets of wisdom but had taught me a lot about decision making. I also discuss why I chose to move to Achill Island and how it has shaped the way my life has gone this year.

In this episode I recount an uncomfortable situation I was in of late. I also chat about how to get momentum back into a goal that has gone stale and how not to take things personally. 

In this episode I talk a little about mantras. I use mantras to help with both day to day difficulty and with running ultra marathons or getting through tough weighted hikes. I also talk about how our perception of what is good or bad can impact on our lives.

Hair of the dog that bit you. I tell the story of how Cú Chulainn got his name. I also remind the listener and myself that a nig set back does not mean the end of the road. It just means we may have to try a different path.

In this episode I talk about the story of my very first time on a motorcycle in Vietnam and the chaos that ensued. I also talk about taking ownership and responsibility of the good things in my life. We make these good things happen and it is important for us to realise that we are cause of our own good fortune.

In this episode I talk about how a disappointing week of training has yet again lead me inward. To find out what lessons lay inside a week that didn't quite go to plan. We must dismiss the ego and dig within our being and figure out how was should feel and act. Live your life your way and don't let ego take over. Peace and love.
