  S04 E36 - Mizen To Malin 350 Mile Ultra - Part 02

  Sep 6, 20261h 34mS4

  MIZEN TO MALIN — PART 02: MIZEN HEAD TO MILLSTREET The Mizen to Malin adventure begins. In Part 01, we leave Mizen Head and battle through the opening three days of our 350-mile journey across Ireland. By the end of Day 03, we’ve made it to our B&B in Millstreet — tired, sore and beginning to understand just how enormous this challenge really is. Two runners with MS. One brilliant support crew. A Guinness World Record attempt—and a long road still ahead. This is the honest, unpolished story of MS Runs Ireland: the running, the exhaustion, the laughs and the people helping us keep moving north.

  S04 E30 - DAY 00… The Road To Mizen

  Jun 28, 202622 minS4

  DAY 00… THE ROAD TO MIZEN Today is not a running day. Today is the chaos before the chaos. Cars packed. Kit everywhere. Food boxes loaded. Chargers hopefully remembered. First aid packed like we are opening a small pharmacy. Coffee ready. Nerves very much kicking in. We are making our way to Mizen Head, the very bottom of Ireland, where this whole ridiculous, beautiful adventure begins. Tomorrow we start running from Mizen to Malin. Around 350 miles. Two runners with MS. One massive challenge. A Guinness World Record attempt. A nightly podcast. A crew held together by caffeine, kindness and probably Haribo. This journey is about MS, hope, research, friendship, and showing what can still be possible when life throws something massive at you. Tonight we sleep near the start line. Tomorrow… we move.
