  • Has become one of my favourite podcasts period.

    The lads get the best out of their guest interviews. They seem to make people relax and then share brilliant insights. Also love the range of guests and the “not so quick-fire” questions👌

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#186 Eamon Hayes returns
Q: Why move the finish to Washington Street and what safety improvements are being made?
The finish is moving to a wider Washington Street to create a safer, faster, more spectator-friendly finish with better crowd dispersal and easier ambulance access, reducing bottlenecks near the old finish.
#186 Eamon Hayes returns
Q: How many races are there and what are the capacities for Cork City Marathon events?
There are three races (10K, Half Marathon, and Marathon), with planned increases in capacity year over year, and a new Grand Parade start to accommodate more runners while maintaining safety and logistics.
#184 Damian Hall
Q: How do you decide when to push through versus backing off in an ultra?
Early on it's about distance and process over outcomes; with experience, focus shifts to pacing, nutrition, and terrain adaptation, recognizing when to conserve energy for later stages.
#184 Damian Hall
Q: What advice would you give about toenails and footwear for long ultras?
Shoes should fit with extra space for swelling, use proper socks (Toes and Miles, etc.), and ensure toe nails are not overly tight; proper footwear and sock choice are crucial to prevent blisters and toe damage.
#184 Damian Hall
Q: What's your thinking on beta gels over caffeine gels?
Beta fuels act as a lactate buffer and are different from caffeine gels, which provide a quick energy spike; many athletes use both with training to learn what suits their body, and some tolerate both together.
