A special World Mental Health Week episode where Jarlath asks Sonia about her mental wellness during her career. Sonia opens up for the first time about the deep lows that followed the huge highs of her career and the lack of understanding during the 90s on the issue. 
There’s a big announcement about a running challenge that listeners can join in with to make a huge difference for our chosen charity partner Jigsaw.ie and young people across Ireland. 
Later in the episode we get a special bonus interview with the author of The Running Book - John Connell. Don’t forget our next event is this weekend. Download and listen to hear it all.
