Does running need to get more difficult with age? Have we all got a certain number of miles before injuries will start to plague us? Sonia O'Sullivan talks to Jarlath about the misconceptions and solid theories behind running over the age of 40 and beyond. What adjustments should we make to recovery, intensity and load? Is there a particular type of running we should avoid? Sonia has the answers. Vinny Mulvey helps Jarlath back on the road to recovery after a 4 week lay off with SI joint pain. We hear how the first run back goes from the side of the road. We also get Sonia's opinion on the most talked about story in Irish athletics this week. Carl Luas!

Pain comes in the same packet as running. Sonia O'Sullivan sends Jarlath to one of the top physical therapists in Ireland to figure out why he has been injured for the last four weeks. Vinny Mulvey talks to Jarlath about his understanding of the pain game with running, when to stop and the biggest risks of overloading the body. Vinny, an elite athlete in his own time, tries to puzzle out what Jarlath did wrong and empathises with him over the mental challenges of being hurt through running. Later in the show we get a trip around the running parishes as Sonia admires some of the club members who completed the New York City marathon over the weekend. Patreon members get a further thirty minutes in this episode and a bonus deep dive episode with Vinny Mulvey.
