Today's guest is 2:33 marathoner and coach Nick Weston. He is also a 4 time iron man finisher and 6 time 100mile ultra finisher and we talk about his transition into the marathon.

Nick opens up about his experience of chronic fuelling and the consequences early in his endurance journey. This was an incredibly powerful conversation that could affect many runners pushing their miles up.

We talk about good fuelling practices as well how Nick ran his personal best in the marathon without looking at any pace or elapsed time.

Nick is also the 3 hour pacer at the 2026 Belfast marathon and he shares some insights into what to expect if you join him on the day or before in the lead up to the race.

On 7th and 8th February 2026 there will be a brand new NI running show at the Eikon Centre.

Today's guest is the event's director Oonagh Cattigan. She has a background of many years putting on big events in England and is combining that with her passion for running.

Oonagh got into running through a local 5k after returning to Northern Ireland as a new mother and describes the amazingly positive mental benefits she gets from running.

We talk in detail about the plans for the NI running show, what to expect and how to get involved as well as Oonagh's first marathon experience and her planned second in Belfast next year.

Today's episode is a recap of my race at the Seeley Cup 10k from the weekend past and the takeaways from it.

Coming 4 weeks off the back of NYC marathon, I always viewed this race as one that might not happen for me, but having something in the calendar really focused my recovery efforts.

With near perfect conditions, a flat(ish!) course and a fast field, I felt I could get close to my best but maybe more importantly, take part in a big local race that I hadn't done for 10 years.
