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 angles that were going on in my life.

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

COVID-19 took down our team captain Neil Fusco this week with numbers continuing to rise.

And our big race, the Antrim Coast half marathon, just six weeks away.

Catching the dreaded virus might not be inevitable, but some kind of bump in the road might be.

Today on Irishmen running abroad, Ireland's greatest track and field athlete of all time,

my coach and yours, Sonio Sullivan, get stuck into navigating those tricky routes back from the point

where your reserves are tested while the clock is still ticking. The urge might be to rush back

from an illness niggle or nick or wobble. Well, Sonia's here to help you avoid this common error,

get you thinking right and visualising the outcome you want from whatever race you might have on the horizon,

give you, as usual, a few indispensable training tips.

Our squad captains, Neil and Ashling, will join us on the live line to discuss their week's training

and what they are seeing among the squad, who were last week told to take it handy by Sonia.

She said, enjoy a bit of a down week before the final push.

Well, Sonia, it is great to have you on the line just hours before your athletes take part in the world championships 1500 metre final how is it going

in oregon it's it feels must feel for you like a month has passed since we last spoke yeah i mean the

time it once the championships gets started it just seems to go by so so quickly. And then you start to lose track of

the days as well. So yeah, good thing I kind of remember that it's the start of a new week for us

as well this week. As we were coming to the end of our week four easy week, relatively easy week

or down week. But actually the Sunday run I thought was, I did it myself

this morning and it was tough enough. Actually, I have a great story about my run this morning.
