Episode Notes

We are stoked to be joined by Emmett Dunleavy for an interview on the Back Straight this week. For those that aren't familiar with Emmett, he is one of Ireland's leading coaches and has a roster of athletes competing the very pinnacle of the sport. Emmett chats to us all about coaching; how he got into it, his philosophies and where he hopes it leads Athletics Ireland as we rocket towards LA 2028. In addition to the great coaching chats, Emmett shares is boundless knowledge on lactate threshold training among other pivotal training tools and additives that many of the top athletes are incorporating into their regimes and reaping the rewards. A huge thank you to Emmett for joining us, this is not one to be missed!
