The Irish National Athletics Championships are here, it's drizzling outside and Sonia O'Sullivan is back in the country. It must be summer! Jarlath Regan and Sonia O'Sullivan look back on the biggest weekend at Morten Stadium, the rise and rise of Rhasidat Adeleke, Thomas Barr and Mark English's dominance, the crowds, the craic and Sophie O'Sullivan's journey to a national championship.

Running your fastest 5km isn’t all about running more. As Sonia explains in today’s episode, it has just as much to do with what you do when you’re not running. Without proper recovery methods nobody gets faster. Jarlath quizzes the GOAT on what works best, drops into a Vinny Mulvey 5km Camp to get his opinion and asks Cathal Dennehy what a recovery run looked like when he visited Kipchoge’s home in Kenya. We also look back at the European championships in Rome and ahead to the Paris Olympics. Hear the full conversation and get Sonia’s weekly training plans over on Patreon. Email the show?
