This week on the Any Given Runday, we welcome long-distance and Irish International runner Ian Fitzgerald (@ian_is_running_1 on Instagram) to the show

Having finished 2nd in the National 50k Championships last year in Donadea, what better time to have Ian on the podcast with that race coming up again this Saturday... at least that's Seán's opinion anyway as he picks Ian's brain for all the help he can get come Saturday!

We also talk to Ian about:
- Going from a 3:46 marathon to aiming for a sub-2:30
- Running gear/runners
- Running a 100k for Ireland in 2023 and how hot water helped save his race
- The Dublin Endurance Project, a sub-elite training group
- His thoughts on the Berlin Marathon and how it compares to Dublin
- How to avoid burnout in running
- Running for speed vs running for speed endurance
- His approach to training, tempo runs and pacing for the long run
- Running with Inner City Running
- Running with his local club, Donore Harriers

And so much more
