In this week's episode we were delighted to be joined by the 2026 National Marathon Champion, Hugh Armstrong, for an interview. Hugh has had great success in his running career to date, having run 2:12 a few years ago in Seville, represented Ireland in several major championships and most recently being crowned the king of Dublin marathon.
Hugh shares a heartfelt tribute to Ciara at the beginning of the episode which was greatly appreciated, and from there we recap his race a few weeks ago and get to know him a little better. We hope you enjoy this episode!
