Conquer The Marathon - A live Talk With Dublin Front Runners

This was a live talk I recorded with Dublin Front Runners on Sunday 14th June 2026

Enhanced Games: The Mirror Elite Sport Didn't Ask For

The Enhanced Games promised a glimpse into the future of enhanced human performance. But after all the headlines, controversy and talk of performance-enhancing drugs, what stood out most to me was something completely different. The athletes weren't suddenly miles ahead of the world's best. If anything, the competition highlighted just how extraordinary elite athletes really are. Talent, dedication, discipline and years of relentless work still matter more than any pharmaceutical advantage. In this episode, I discuss why I don't have a major issue with the concept of the Enhanced Games, the honesty of a competition where nobody is pretending to be clean, why some athletes deserve credit for chasing the financial opportunity and how the event holds up a mirror to elite sport itself. Most importantly, I explore what the Enhanced Games revealed about greatness: there are no shortcuts to becoming truly elite.

Why I Walk So Much

For the past year, I’ve been focused on something that most people overlook when it comes to fitness and performance: low aerobic training. In this episode, I talk about why I’ve spent so much time walking, keeping my training at a lower intensity and building a strong aerobic base instead of constantly pushing my body to the limit. I break down how slowing things down has actually allowed me to improve my endurance, recovery and overall work capacity. By spending the last year building a stronger engine, I’ve noticed that when it’s time to push harder or train at a higher intensity, my body responds far better than it used to. I can handle more workload, recover quicker and stay consistent without burning out. This episode is about playing the long game understanding that real performance isn’t built overnight, but through patience, consistency, and creating a foundation that can support bigger demands over time. If you’ve ever wondered why walking and easy training matter, or why elite athletes spend so much time training below their maximum effort, this conversation will give you a new perspective on fitness, health, and sustainable progress.
