Heartbreak Hill Training With Sonia O’Sullivan - Irishman Running Abroad

The GOAT herself joined our listeners in person this week for a run in Phoenix Park. I captured some sounds and asked Sonia why the "run slow to run fast" mantra might not apply to her. We look forward to the World Championships in Budapest and back at an incredible summer of running for Irish athletes including Sophie O'Sullivan.
With the Dublin marathon less than 90 days away I ask Sonia about the most challenging hill on the course. Is it possible to prepare for a "heartbreak hill" or is giving it a name a step in the wrong direction? I take a spin into Vinny Mulvey (Patreon exclusive content visit www.patreon.com/irishmababroad to sign up today) for a chat about marathon training with less than 3 months to go. Is the 10% mileage increase a hard and fast rule or can we jump it a little faster a little sooner. There's also a trip around the Strava parishes and Sonia's tip of the week to enjoy.
