The Alan Williams Podcast

Show Notes

Pal Gilmartin is not your average guy. In August 2924 he took on a gruelling challenge in aid of Motor Neurone Disease....

The Warriors Run is a thing of legend in Sligo. A 15km run up and down a mountain. It's a run that can break the best of athletes but Pal didn’t just do the run...he did it twice. Without a break!

In this episode of the podcast Pal explains his reasons for taking on the challenge, the emotional journey behind it and what kept him going when things got tough. He also gives an amazing insight into what it's like mid-event during a challenge like this.
