Sonia O'Sullivan dials in from Spain as she helps her daughter Sophie prepare for the World Athletics Championships. The clock is ticking. What can an athlete pro or amateur hope to cram in before their big exam. Is it more about the head game at this point or can we plan a great final ten days before our big races? Sonia looks back on her 1995 gold at the worlds and helps Jarlath with his understanding of training paces. Later in the show top physical therapist and coach Vinny Mulvey joins the show to fill us in on his week in the Alps with the On Running Team.
