An Appointment With… A podcast series where I get time with experts who are notoriously busy, popular and difficult to tie down, and bring you with me.

Season 2, Episode 10: John O’Regan; Part 2

Chatting with ultra-athlete John O’Regan always brings so much more than conversations about tempo and chub-rub.

This is the second part of a two-parter which is a great conversation whatever step you’re about to take, even if it’s simply that terrifying first one away from the sofa.

In this episode, we cover ground from the simple and straightforward, to the pretty out there – like how John is going to participate in the first race in space, slated for 2025.

We also talk kit, wearable tech, The Dublin City Marathon (and all the hoo-ha around that), John’s expeditions with Mark Pollock… and his collaboration with visually impaired extreme adventure athlete Sinead Kane.

There’s plenty here to inspire and digest, and hopefully you’ll be lacing up your trainers before you’ve had time to think much further.
