Ep 23 with Moire O´Sullivan: Mother, Widower, Writer, Entrepreneur and Mountain Running Champion

Published: March 16, 2021, 7:15 a.m.

Welcome to episode 23 of Trail Running Ireland. The show is hosted by Eoin Flynn, UTMB Finish Line Race Announcer and 10 times Irish International Mountain Runner. 


We´ve got a master class this week from coach René Borg from Running Coach Ireland on one of the most effective ways to stay fresh, healthy and injury free and not end up over-trained when it comes to race day.


Our feature interview is with Moire O´Sullivan, three time Irish National Adventure Race Series winner, two time Irish Mountain Running Champion, an Irish Orienteering age-group winner, the first person to complete the Wicklow Round and a completer of the Denis Rankin Round. Moire is also a mother of two fantastic sons, and shortly after Christmas 2018, Moire´s husband Pete took his own life after suffering with depression. "A Quarter Glass of Milk" is Moire’s new book on how she went about picking up the pieces after that tragedy and how the mountains and the running community played an important part in that process.
