Summary

You can’t go around them, hills are a fact of life for all runners. The great Sonia O’Sullivan is the proof that running up and over them can provide a huge bang for your training buck. Today on the Irishman Running Abroad she sets out the keys to doing it right. We hear from her hand picked squad of listeners heading to Cobh to run her homecoming road race. We get a taste of my extended interview with the Irish hill running king Ricki Wynne and we reflect on the tragic death of Kelvin Kiptum.
