"Whenever I try to sum up what that period was like after Atlanta, it's kind of hard to explain. I didn't drop out of that race to save myself...My legs were obliterated. They were not in good shape after that race. It was heartbreak. Because as runners, running is such a big part of us and part of our identity whether that's a good thing or not. It's not just our job. I felt like I poured everything into that buildup and did everything I could. On that day, it just didn't work out. My body broke down...It is heartbreaking when you invest so much and go all-in for it to not work out. And then to walk away from that race with nothing to look forward to. Even if there was something, I didn't feel good running for a while so it wouldn't have mattered anyway. It was tough. I felt like I failed so badly. I never failed like that before...To pick up the pieces, I was like, 'What can I control? What can I focus on right now?' I was sad for a little bit. I talked to my coach. I talked to my husband. I talked to my chiropractor. My coach, Ray Treacy, said, 'You're going to lose a year of races from the looks of it so invest this time wisely.'" Olympian Emily Sisson joins the CITIUS MAG Podcast to discuss how she rebounded from dropping out by mile 22 of the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in February 2020 to dominating the women's 10,000-meter final at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials last month in 31:03.82 for a new meet record. Sisson led for the final 21 laps in 85-degree heat at the new Hayward Field. She ended up winning the race by 13 seconds ahead of Karissa Schweizer and Alicia Monson. In this episode, you'll hear how she got over the heartbreak from Atlanta and decided to make the most of the pandemic year to train and regroup for the track. She shares insight from how her coach helped her cast any doubt aside and reminded her of what's made her into an NCAA champion, world championship finalist and two-time U.S. champion. Plus a little bit on her plans for the marathon and track and her future...

This month marks the 30th anniversary of Portlaoise AFC's incredible run to the 2nd Round of the FAI Cup, the only time in the club's history that they have made it to that competition.  On this week's Talking Sport Podcast we have a Down Memory Lane special with three members of that team - captain Aengus Burke, John O'Loughlin and Con Dunne.  They recall how they qualified for the FAI Cup through the intermediate competition needing replay wins over Whitehall, Mid Athletic and Lusk as well as incredible 4-3 win away to Drogheda Celtic.  They then beat Home Farm 3-1 in Rosleighan Park before 4,000 turned up to watch them take on Kilkenny City in the 2nd round, a game they led 2-1 in with ten minutes to play and had two goals disallowed only to lose 3-2.  The lads look back fondly on those times under manager Christy Cahill and how they rubbed shoulders with huge figures of the Irish game like Ray Treacy, Paddy Mulligan and Brian Kerr.  Plus they describe the makeshift scaffolding and bales of straw that were needed to make Rossleighan Park suitable to host those big games and how the ground didn't even have dressing rooms at the time, meaning they'd to tog out at the squash courts on the Ballyfin Road and then make their way to the pitch.  In a good-humoured chat with presenter Steven Miller, the lads reminisce on that glorious era for the club and how they'd love to see days like that again. 

In this bonus episode, Mike DeMars speaks with Laura Nagel, a former member of the women's cross country and track teams, about her experience at Providence College.

We start off getting an update from our guest co-host Julie Culley. At (10:57) we are joined by friend of the show, two time Olympian and 29 US champ Molly Huddle. We start out talking about running, specifically her victory at the 10k at the US championships. At (13:41) we talk about her London Marathon last April and try to find out what kind of runner Molly considers herself. At (16:00) we circle back to the US championships in Des Moines to discuss race tactics. At (20:16) we ask Molly about 29 US titles and oversized checks. At (22:42) we talk about the group that Ray Treacy coaches after college. At (23:55) Molly tells us why she trains part time in Arizona and we ask about her support from her husband Kurt. At (28:04) Farley wants to confirm the headline, does Molly consider herself a marathoner. At (29:45) Julie asks two questions at once because she figured out very quickly that Chris will hog the mic and she might not get the chance to ask her second question later, Julie asks what the transition from the track to the marathon will look like this fall, and what Mollys downtime will look like. At (33:29) we talk about her sponsor Saucony and her current shoe choices and then at (36:10) we talk about her contributions to Runners World, running consistently and some strategies to stay mentally strong over her career. At (39:35) Molly talks about the transition from the track to the marathon and talk a bit about the next year of running. At (44:27) we have some quick questions about the Artiken bracelets and Mollys Donuts and at (46:44) Molly tells us about submitting her request to add the female running emoji. At (48:24) Docs gets to ask a question about Notre Dame. At (49:21) Julie steals Farleys thunder which is why Docs says she can keep coming back, but Farley asks what 2020 and beyond look like for Molly. We are back at (52:50) to wrap up the interview and pat ourselves on the back for breaking multiple stories. At (55:26) we talk about an upcoming extravagant kids birthday party on a pirate ship. At (1:01:28) Farley has an exciting story about checking Docs mail. No seriously, it has a dog in the story so it is PTN approved. At (1:06:23) we talk about baseball, Bryce Harper and Charlie Manuel and tie it to an iconic running coach.

We're joined by former Shamrock Rovers defender Peter Eccles and Hoops fan Tommy Tormey. We discuss yet another Bohs defeat, the potential new signings, Dermot Desmond and the Europa League draw with Tommy before Peter arrives at the 57 minute mark. 'Pedro' talks the four-in-a-row, his love of scoring a goal especially against Linfield in the European Cup, the leaving of Milltown and moving to Australia and Leicester. He captained the club in 1993-94 at the RDS to became the only man to win five league medals with Rovers. The lads share their highlights from that season and examine the reasons behind the quick break up of Ray Treacy's team. They remember Peter's fans-run testimonial for his 12 years of service, his Ireland cap and a horrific leg-break on his debut for Crusaders.

Ben True joins The CITIUS MAG Podcast with Chris Chavez to discuss his win at the 2018 United NYC Half. He takes us through how the race played out since I finished 33 minutes behind him and haven't been able to watch a replay yet. With his 62:39 winning time, Ben became the first American male open division winner in the event's history. He finished ahead of Dathan Ritzenhein and Chris Thompson on a chilly and windy morning in New York City. Ben immediately dismisses any marathon plans and talks but shares a quick story about how he's actually covered the marathon distance before and what his thoughts are toward the 26.2 mile distance.  Among the questions discussed: - Feelings about the race now that he's had time to process it. - The decision to race a half marathon - How and why he started working with Ray Treacy (also Molly Huddle's coach) - The Lone Wolf mentality and how he stays motived through solo workouts - What does he consider his best race ever? - Funniest interaction and story with a drug tester Listener questions include:  - What does he do to stay healthy? - Are oats part of his pre-race go-to? What's his favorite post-race meal? - Beer Mile: Hassan Mead vs. Ben True - What's the best place to run in Lebanon? - Favorite form of cross training when it's not skiing season? -  Responding to allegations from his neighbor on why the neighborhood smells of home-brewed coffee - Will he ever make a return to posting his workouts on Strava?
