Episode 1 of The Final Split

Conor Curran, Mark Malone, and Gerard Heaney reunite for the first show to talk training, Irish running news, and the week’s biggest talking points.

Gerard shares an update from Sydney as he builds fitness back toward bigger mileage and regular sessions.

Mark talks through managing a hernia and keeping his running easy, while Conor reflects on his own training week, track sessions, and winter racing plans.

Elsewhere, the boys discuss Dublin Marathon’s new entry price, the launch of the splits.ie results platform, the Armagh Road Race’s expanded women’s programme, and standout Parkrun performances from around Ireland.

Plus: shoe chat, race news, Melbourne Marathon, and a preview of the upcoming interview release with rising Irish distance talents Callum Morgan and Eimear Maher.
