Shownotes

In Episode 73 of Two Men on the Run Podcast, Matt and Jon-Jo reflect on one of the standout nights in the racing calendar - the iconic Armagh International 5K.

Jon-Jo shares his experience racing at Armagh this year, describing the atmosphere, the noise, and the sheer spectacle of an event that consistently produces fast times and unforgettable performances. The Two Men on the Run explore what makes the race so special and why it continues to attract stacked fields year after year.

Looking ahead, Jon-Jo outlines his plans for the half marathon - where his fitness is heading and what the next phase of training looks like.

Meanwhile, Matt sets out a different challenge. After years focused on the marathon, he plans to train more like a miler and target the 5K in a bid to rebuild speed and sharpen up. The discussion turns to how he intends to structure his training around family life, balancing ambition with realism.

From the electric streets of Armagh to a reset in training philosophy, this episode is about momentum, perspective and building towards what comes next.
