Any Given Runday

This week on the Any Given Runday podcast we are joined by Fergal Guihen (@Rossie_to_Aussie on Instagram), who is 11 months into a 23,000-kilometre cycling journey from Roscommon to the Sydney Opera House, Australia, raising over €50,000 so far for Northwest Stop Suicide Prevention and Mayo Roscommon Hospice. From overcoming a torn ACL 6 months before taking off to pedalling through the Alps, sandstorms, desert heat and the Tibetan Plateau with temperatures reaching as low as minus 22 degrees! Fergal shares captivating stories of endurance, cultural encounters, bike mishaps and acts of kindness.
