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.

The sun is out. Well, it is here anyway.

But the urge to get out there and run farther and faster has never been greater.

But have you ever noticed that when the weather tends to pick up, you tend to pick up injuries?

Today on Irishmen running abroad with Irish Athletics,

icon, former world champion, record breaker and Olympic silver medalist, Sonio Sullivan, I ask,

is it possible? Is there any way to avoid injuries this summer? For as long as I can remember,

I took this kind of fatalistic view to all of this stuff. I had it in my head that I was cursed to be injured forever.

And you'd be forgiven for thinking that if you're consistently picking up knocks,

nicks, niggles and pulls.

Today I'm asking the best what she did to remain relatively injury-free during her career

and what she now advises runners like you to do to avoid

the dreaded layoff. If there is time, we will also take a look at what you can do for your

head if the worst happens because this is a big part of it. When you get injured, it's tough.

The head stuff is pretty tough. So if we have time, we're going to get to that.

Sonia, it's great to have you back on the line. How are you doing? I'm good. It's good to be back.

Always good to be back in a different place. It feels like it changes things up. Imagine if I was in

the same place all the time. I can't imagine. I feel like you're allergic to that.

Would you?

Yeah.
