Summary

Sonia takes Jarlath to the fabled Bushy Park while she visits London with Jessica Hull to prepare for the world indoor championships. They return to her house in Teddington and take dive into the most important run of the week - The Long Run. Sonia’s Ten Mile Road Race takes place on the first weekend in April and today’s episode is part of a four part mini-series as they prepare to enjoy the event together. Jarlath explains how he managed to break 20 and Sonia points out a few key lessons that all of our listeners can take from the experience. How long is too long for your weekly big run? How should you fuel up for it? What shoes should we wear? Is a walking break a bad idea? We also take a trip around the parishes and get in much greater detail on Patreon.com/irishmanabroad.
