Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars from 265 ratings
  • 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.

#209 Cian Charlton
Q: Where did this decision come from for that?
Charlton says he had worked in vintage clothing for years and wanted to create a running brand with a distinct style. He saw room for another Irish brand, spent months developing designs and samples, and launched Negative Split because he enjoyed the creative process and wanted to give the idea a try.
#209 Cian Charlton
Q: What decided you to pack up the GA to more concentrate on running?
Charlton says he had not been heavily involved in Gaelic games and began drinking and running more during college. He was drawn into the Rome Marathon by a friend, struggled through it, then realized he wanted to improve. Joining a running club later helped him train consistently and make progress.
#210 Aidan Loughnane
Q: What advice would you give someone running a marathon when they start to fall apart?
Look up, take in the surroundings and crowd, and smile. A difficult patch does not mean the race is over; slow down or walk briefly if needed, remember the training, and enjoy the day.
#210 Aidan Loughnane
Q: How did running become part of your recovery from mental health struggles?
After therapy and an early attempt he disliked, Loughnane returned to running during the pandemic. Trail running gave him a sense of freedom and pride, and helped him make space to face his thoughts. He also emphasizes that running is a tool, not a complete cure or a person's identity.
#208 Mark Fleming
Q: What is Mark's training philosophy leading into Dublin?
He stresses sticking to a coach's plan, avoiding overtraining, maintaining consistent mileage, and prioritizing recovery and sleep as the foundation of performance.
