You asks Sonia O’Sullivan answers. The mailbag is open and no topic is left uncovered. How to train for a mile, how to recover, how to breathe, how to negotiate peri menopause, how to run back to back marathons, the best supplement right now and does she ever think about that Olympic gold that got away.

Sonia's Mailbag! You Ask, Sonia Answers! - Irishman Running Abroad

Donald Trump has indeed been found guilty of all 34 counts of falsifying business records in a criminal hush-money scheme to influence the outcome of the 2016 election. Were you surprised? Marion McKeone explains the implications of the verdict to me. We examine how we got to this day, how it might impact swing voters, will Eric Trump ever get a hug, how likely are we to see this thing overturned or DJT on the side of a freeway picking up cans with a stick. In a week when pressure mounted on beleaguered President Biden to change his approach with Israel, isn’t all this just a distraction from what is really important in the world right now?
