After an eventful week Jarlath puts your questions to Sonia in our monthly “Ask Sonia Anything Episode”. Sonia‘s trip to the east coast for two indoor track meets almost hit the skids when snow and ice hit New York. The Irish icon fills us in on her Michelin Man run around Central Park and dips straight into our listener questions. We then head round the parishes from Raheny to Kenya. Olympic marathon hopeful Jan Corcoran jumps on the live line directly after training camp in the mountains. We get a full progress report from Jarlath breakthrough with the #Breaking20 challenge and Coach Pete Julian learns about Sonia’s three strike policy on sandwich offers the hard way.
