For our first feature interview, we speak with Irish Trail running legend, Columbia Athlete Eoin Keith. Eoin talks about

• and how what he has learnt from racing all around the world, is helping him get through the current situation
• Eoin brings us through his hat trick of UTMB podiums in Argentina, France and Oman as he became the first Irish winner of an UTMB race.
• Eoin also gives us his thoughts on the his own future racing plans and the future of Trail Running in Ireland
