Summary

The language of running comes under the microscope this week as Sonia and Jarlath untangle some of the more complicated concepts, terms and phrases doing the rounds today. In typical no nonsense fashion the Irish athletics legend explains how simple terms such as splits, intervals and strides have very different meanings. There’s a few laughs to be had at Jarlath’s expense as explains his brief relationship with plyometric training. And Sonia gives us the details of a cocky runner who made the mistake of mockery during last weekend’s Tasmanian 10K. There’s news on this weekend’s event for Jigsaw and a few of your questions answered as usual. Hozier plays us out with his classic running anthem “Almost”.     Join us on https://www.strava.com/clubs/irishmanrunningabroad to get even more access and info.   To gain access to the entire back-catalogue of over 400 Irishman Abroad episodes that are not available on iTunes for just the price of a pint every month visit www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad.   Our charity partner is jigsawonline.ie.
