| 4/20/26 | ![]() S04 E29 - Ireland AM Talks to Ultra Runners! | We recently had the absolute privilege of sitting on the Ireland AM sofa to share our story.When you are told a wheelchair could be in your future, it changes everything. It changes how you see life, how you see time, and how you choose to move forward. For us, it meant lacing up our running shoes, getting out the door, and chasing every mile we could.In the full audio from our interview, we talk about how a shared Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis connected us from opposite sides of the world and led to one enormous goal — running 350 miles, the full length of Ireland, in a bid to set a Guinness World Record as the fastest team with MS to complete the crossing.This is more than an ultra endurance challenge. It is about friendship, resilience, hope, and proving that life does not stop after an MS diagnosis. You might have to change your pace, but you do not stop moving.Every training run, every long run, every sore leg, every early morning, and every brutal mile is carrying us closer to our goal of raising £100,000 to help fund vital MS research and bring us one step closer to a cure.Whether you are an ultramarathon runner, a marathon runner, someone training for your first 5K, or someone facing a battle of your own, we hope our story reminds you that progress is still progress — and that even the toughest road can be taken one step at a time.Follow our journey:🌍 www.idiotsgorunning.com🌍 www.msrunsireland.com📱 Instagram: @IdiotsGoRunning📱 Facebook: Idiots Go Running📱 TikTok: @IdiotsGoRunning📱 YouTube: @IdiotsGoRunning#IdiotsGoRunning #MSRunsIreland #IrelandAM #MultipleSclerosis #MSAwareness #Ultramarathon #EnduranceChallenge #RunningCommunity #GuinnessWorldRecord #RunTheLengthOfIreland | — | ||||||

Whether it's a 5-hour shift from the US to Ireland or a massive 10-hour jump from California to Greece, these experts prove that sometimes the best plan is just having the stomach to endure it.From "front-loading" sleep weeks in advance to the controversial strategy of relying on caffeine and a "cold turkey" adjustment, we dive into how the pros handle the disorientation of international racing.The "Front-Loading" Strategy: Why your sleep quality a month before the race matters.The 30-Minute Shift: Gradually adjusting your body clock before you even leave home.The "Cold Turkey" Approach: Why some runners suggest just landing and acting like you’re already on local time.Hydration vs. Hallucinations: The vital role of water when your body doesn’t know what day it is.The Running State: Why your body might actually forget it's tired once the race begins.Nick Weston — The Running CoachAlex Bance — Stonehenge 300 Mile Ultra RunnerBen Taylor — Tough Mudder BenDerek Stefureac — The Corn-on-the-Cob Ultra RunnerAshley Schneider — MS Runs the US CreatorJo Manta — The Greek Ultra RunnerSammy Lupari — The Elite PathfinderProduced by: [Your Name/Company Name Here]🎧 Next episode: Favorite piece of running kit?Follow Idiots Go Running for honest conversations, expert insight, and proof that endurance athletes are just as confused by time zones as the rest of us.📍 Website: www.idiotsgorunning.com📲 Socials: @IdiotsGoRunning (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube)What we learned about racing across time zones:The Experts: | — | ||||||
