Show Notes
Nine weeks since his last recording, life’s thrown a whirlwind his way: a five-week family trip to Ireland, patchy training, a breakthrough 40-minute run, and a near-disaster coaching a team through the Galway Mountains. Picture this: Damian, hauling 29 kilos up a brutal peak, catches the group only to hear, “Have you seen Paul?” Cue the panic—Paul’s vanished, the clock’s ticking, and sunset’s closing in.
✔️ Running breakthrough: 40 minutes on Ireland’s dark roads—28 straight, then 12 more ✔️ Ireland chaos: No gym, late drives, and family-work juggling dent training quality ✔️ Mountain scare: Paul goes missing on an 8-hour loaded hike; Damian hauls 29 kilos to regroup ✔️ Back setback: Hack Squat clack halts a two-week training gap, but rehab cuts it to five days
