You know, I like to be fit and healthy, so the best way I know is to just get out there and run.

Running was an outlet for me to, I guess, feel good about myself and take out some of the angers that were going on in my life.

Sonio Sullivan is going to take the world title back to Ireland.

Week five of the Irishman running abroad Road to Larn the Antrim Coast half marathon was a busy one.

Sonia said us the plan and quite a few of you struggled to stick to it, myself included.

We will talk to our team captains later on in the show about the questions that a hard week of training and

sometimes it well sometimes you hope that it will um help the past the pass the time to pass a bit better.
