Unbelievable, won a 24 Hour race, with no food 😳
Another brilliant Podcast Eoin. Loved the advice about training with regards to including all aspects of training in our plans. So important to include strength and conditioning plus hop on the bike to mix it up.
Thank you Moira for sharing. I'm so sorry you lost your husband so early in life. Mental Health is as you say rife. I am in high admiration of you and how you have managed this part of your life. Thanks Eoin for having Moira on the podcast. I'm sure people listening will be helped in some way knowing they are not alone. Peace and Love ❤
