🎙️ Episode 3 — Can Andrew Be Trained? (feat. Nick, the “Running Coach”)

This week, the Idiots bring in Nick — the man brave enough (or foolish enough) to take on the impossible: training us to run 350 miles from Mizen Head to Malin Head — the full length of Ireland!

Matt, Colin, and Andrew sit down to talk all things training, planning, and panic…

• Is Nick officially our running coach?
• Can Andrew actually be trained?

And how do three idiots even begin to prepare for 12 days, 350 miles, and 19,000 feet of Irish hills?

It’s messy, funny, and surprisingly insightful — proof that even the most chaotic plans can start to look possible with the right people on board.

350 miles. 3 idiots. 12 days.
Follow our journey — it’s going to be messy, funny, and unforgettable.
