You know, I like to be fit and healthy, so the best way I know is to just get out there and run.

Running was an outlet for me to, I guess, feel good about myself and take out some of the angers that were going on in my life.

Sonio Sullivan is going to take the world title back to Ireland.

It's 27 days to the Dublin City Marathon as we record this.

By the time you listen to it, it'll be 25.

And I'm sure the clock is ticking down in loads of people's heads to whatever it is you're training for.

It's not normal for it all to go smoothly, is it, Sonia? It would be very strange for a training block to just go one end to the other absolutely perfectly.

Has that ever happened? Does that ever happen? There's always bumps in the road, right?

Well, you don't know because most people who are training for a marathon or big race, if they do have bumps in the road, they

just play it quietly for a few days and they don't really talk about it too much and

they just hope that they can ride the waves and get through it and then come out the other side.

Yeah.

So I think that's a big thing is people, if they do have an issue where something crocks up unexpected,

that kind of, I suppose, it takes you out of the perfect plan.

Yeah.

Then they try to have the minimum of the structure as possible.

And it's the easiest way to do that in some ways, the opposite of what we're going to do to then,

is to talk about it.

Yeah. Well, I guess I have taken that approach myself in that my bump in the road happened on

Sunday. I found myself out on my long run and just nothing. Like the key turning in the engine and nothing happening.

A weak as a kitten is how I described myself at 26 or 27 kilometers in this supposed

32K run.
