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.
