Show Notes
Welcome to the episode 8 highlights show of Trail Running Ireland. The show is hosted by Eoin Flynn, UTMB Finish Line Race Announcer and 10 times Irish International Mountain Runner.
For our feature interview, Eoin spoke with Paul O´Callaghan, who has just completed the first ever Wicklow Round Back to Back 200km, 52 mountain peak challenge, and unsupported to boot.
Paul talks to us about:
- His mindset as he prepares and executes incredible endurance challenges
- How his trail running career only started in his mid 40s
- How he keeps his body strong and how he recovers
- The highs and lows of his successful back to back Wicklow Round
- The importance of family and friends and the simple life
An incredible story from Paul and we´re lucky indeed to have him with us as he is the type of person who likes to keep a low profile despite his incredible running performances.
A big thank you to our show sponsor, EcoTrail Wicklow, taking place on Sept 26th 2020.
