Irishman Running Abroad with Sonia O'Sullivan: “Why Every Running Mistake Is Normal & Fixable" (Plus Special Guest Coach Trevor Cummins)

Why do we have it in our heads that there is a right way and a wrong way to run? Why are we obsessed with speed rather than enjoyment? Has Strava and the smart watches conditioned us all to want the wrong things from lacing up our shoes and enjoying this simple thing? Sonia breaks down a few of the most common mistakes she sees in amateurs and pros, while looking back and critically assessing her own bad habits over the years. There’s Sonia’s tip of the week, your questions answered and Jarlath brings a new coach onto the team, another Cobh legend, Trevor Cummins. Trev has helped Sonia thousands of others over achieve and now he turns his expertise to Jarlath’s recovery and you the listeners’ running habits.
