Jarlath Mckenna had an absolute belter of a day this year on the West Highland Way Race. Snatching that coveted first place with aplomb.

Yes...Jarlath entered the danger zone, but how did he react, how did he deal with it? We've got all of the answers and more as he joins us for a race debrief.

We don't just speak about the WHW though, we cover Jarlath's early days of running and his transition to ultra marathons which followed a rather tasty period running marathon distance.

It's in ultras though that Jarlath has made a real breakthrough in the last few years. From winning the Green Man Ultra in consecutive years (2016 & 2017), to setting a new course record on Lakes In A Day (record still stands) to winning 1st place at the Anglo Celtic Plate in 2023, his list of achievement keeps growing.

We do get to talking about his experience on 22 June 2024 on the way, his pre-race tribulations and also how he's been since, and of course we talk about what's next for Jarlath.

A fascinating chat with the humblest of fellas, Jarlath was a pleasure to talk to. This is the listen you've been waiting for. Enjoy.
