Irishman Running Abroad With Sonia O’Sullivan

The Recovery Key To Your Fastest 5K with Vinny Mulvey & Cathal Dennehy

Running your fastest 5km isn’t all about running more. As Sonia explains in today’s episode, it has just as much to do with what you do when you’re not running. Without proper recovery methods nobody gets faster. Jarlath quizzes the GOAT on what works best, drops into a Vinny Mulvey 5km Camp to get his opinion and asks Cathal Dennehy what a recovery run looked like when he visited Kipchoge’s home in Kenya. We also look back at the European championships in Rome and ahead to the Paris Olympics. Hear the full conversation and get Sonia’s weekly training plans over on Patreon. Email the show?
