Show Notes

Welcome to Episode 115 of the Trail Running Ireland Podcast. In this weeks show we talk to one of the most exciting young talents on the Irish Mountain Running scene. Jared Martin led the Irish team home in the European Championships last summer in the Elite Mens Up and Down race and he is currently preparing for the World Championships in Spain in September. We´ll chat through Jareds progress over the last few years and look at how he will prepare for the Worlds in 12 weeks time. We also have René Borg from Running Coach Ireland who will be chatting to us about nutrition for our big Trail races, should it be carb based, should we be fat adapted and or should we look at a periodised fueling approach. It´s a fascinating topic that we can all take something from. Everyone, get your running gear on, lets go. https://www.patreon.com/c/trailrunningirelandpodcast
