Sonia has read every email, letter and postcard. She has deliberated long into the night to find the best collection of talent and stories to form her squad for the road to Cobh 2024. Today we reveal who they are and hear some of their inspirational journeys. Which member of the team are you most like? There's someone for everyone. You can match your training plan to their's and take the journey Cobh too. This is a one of a kind episode with something for everyone in it. Sonia explains the difference between and easy and a "regular run". It's a subject that ex-elite athlete, now elite physical therapist, Vinny Mulvey and I have been exploring for the last 60 days. For the London Marathon 2024 I'm running for Kidney Care UK and I'm using low heart rate training to build the aerobic base that failed me in Dublin last October. So far it has been a revelatory experience. At first, mind numbingly boring, then agonising, then joyous - the process of learning to run properly slow on my easy days has not been easy. Vinny takes me on the Seb Coe loop of Ashbourne, Co. Meath to explain some of the more difficult questions surrounding low heart rate training.
