This is the cross country episode of the year with epic results popping off both locally and internationally. We review all of the recent action from the McConnell Shield in Ballyclare, the Novice XC in Stranolar as well as some brilliant results out of the States and San Sebastián. A few other talking points hit the agenda such as Caitriona Jennings' amazing 100 Mile World Record this past week. In Part 2 of the episode we were delighted to welcome Dara Furey and Allan Bogle from City of Derry Spartans to help us preview the Irish National Cross Country in a few weekends time. The Derry men talk to us all about what to expect on course, how the event came about and who the big hitters will be on the day. This is not an episode to be missed and we look forward to seeing any listeners up in Derry in a few weeks. Until then, hooroo!
