  • Mark Casserly - High Performance Muay Thai & K1 Coach
    Mark Casserly is one of the most well known and respected fighters in Ireland and when you start listening to this interview you'll understand why.  In this episode we talk about Mark's training and coaching philosophy and his lessons learned from a lifetime of training in the Martial Arts.  We also talk about how Mark uses his Martial Arts Skills in all aspects of his life and his recent interest in Trail Running.  Mark shares some of his coping skills for high stress situations along with some other tools and tips and I'm sure there'll be takeaways for everyone in this conversation.
    Towards the mid point of the the interview Mark countered my attack and had me on the ropes and if you can stay focussed on the conversation you'll see how it played out.

  • Tips for Running your first 5K

    This podcast was prompted by a recent conversation I had with a group I met while out running.    They were fans of the podcast and were asking questions I get asked so often.  It was the reason to start recording again.

  • Tenzing Hillary Everest Marathon

    On May 29th 2007, I took part in the Tenzing Hillary Everest Marathon with blind adventurer, Mark Pollock.  This race which boasts the highest start line for any race in the world took us almost 2 weeks of trekking to reach the start line.   Then, on the 54th anniversary of the first succesful ascent of Mount Everest we assembled at the Khumbu Icefall above Base Camp to begin our Marathon back to the Sherpa town of Namche Bazar.  This was to be an incredible challenge and in this podcast I share my own experience of how I came to take part in this amazing adventure.



    Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary reach Everest summit at 11:30 a.m. on May 29, 1953,  Tenzing Norgay, a Sherpa of Nepal and Edmund Hillary of New Zealand, become the first explorers to reach the summit of Mount Everest, which at 29,035 feet above sea level is the highest point on earth.

  • Looking Beyond the Finish Line.

    Over the past 17 years I’ve competed in some of the most extreme races in the world taking in the 7 continents (twice) plus a Marathon at the North Pole and have represented Ireland on 10 occasions in the Ultra Marathon, but my running career was almost over as quickly as it had started.
