We're on a solo ramble chat down the multiverse of fitness, sports, strength and conditioning and kendrick lamar today   I'm new to this soliloquy craic so I hope ye enjoy it   Sound lads!

Winter time = time to go full Rocky 4 baby...   This short solo podcast goes out for anyone who's in the offseason now, regardless of whether it's GAA that you play or not.    I'm making a big push on these shorter solo episodes and I love hearing about what you fuckers would like me to cover in an episode so feel free to send questions and ideas my way.    Let's take that health, fitness and perf...

Cross-border cooperation continues with this meeting of Team Torres teammates from both sides of the imaginary line. Between myself and himself the ADHD be strong in this episode...   Yannick is a combat sport nutritionist hailing from Newry Co. Down who has a big background training and competing himself before beginning to help fighters with their weight cuts and grubbing to fuel performance.  ...

Chris is the creative director of Zoma Branding, he runs his combat sport clothing business Coffee & Kimura’s, he’s a jiu jitsu purple belt (yup the team torres) and he’s also a good friend of mine 🤝   I intended on making this a podcast about business and marketing but it quickly descended into a ramble chat! One of the highest quality (of course) diving down rabbit holes from competing in J...

Check out part I before getting into this one, but seeing as it got more great feedback than any other episode of the podcast I don't think you'll mind throwing an hour or 2 towards both parts. Here's the link to it: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6P7JqUYHGJrJgYBF45SnfS?si=GV3KRNWOSlebue5MQE1F3A   You can totally transform your life when you look after yourself in a holistic way, but that all st...

2 hallions of the highest order meet in the same building they held the debate as to whether Ireland should accept Britain's deal to make Ireland a free state, who the fuck let us in here man?!?   Me and Lally were as surprised as each other...   The trad daddy of the Irish rap scene, Jordan Kelly AKA Strangeboy joined me in the National Concert Hall in Dublin to go down the rabbit hole and discus...

Two short kings of the health and human performance sphere burn the ear off each other and go down the rabbit hole of injury, athletic therapy vs physiotherapy, achilles ruptures, physical preparation for GAA players and heaps more goodness avic over the course of this conversation live from Seans' rehab and performanceclinic in Dundalk.   I think because he's so good at what he does and his abili...

Two cunny funts come together to bring you lols, laments and life lessons learned the hard way in this edition of our podcast journey into art, business, health and the human condition NOTE: this podcast is from 2 years ago, for a number of reasons it got lost in the hieroglyphs of my mind Anna is an actor and stand up comedian by trade, and has done a whole lot more great work in the time since t...

This one is giving me real "fly on the wall in a gym while two coaches talk shit" vibes and I am here for it!    Fellow coach and former client Chloe and myself go balls deep into ins and outs of the fitness industry, the challenges and positives of running your own coaching business, being "riddled with ADHD" and transformations, motivation + more tangents    Fuelled by cupla pints in Mo chara   ...

The return of the most laidback fitness podcast in the game is back baby!   We're back to give you more wisdom tied up in a bag of laughs and stirred over ice with a shot of Poitin.    Charlie is a writer, but this man is not one for just sticking to the books. He's an adventurer of the highest order and has decided to go the whole way around our wee island on a kayak. A hooligan and hallion of a...

A Wicklow man who makes groovy tunes, loves stout and the town, what more can ya want in a podcast guest? Recorded at "The Big House" Dundalk, featuring Dylan Mullen the spice bag himself.

If you haven’t heard the self titled EP from these two funky fuckers then stick her in the earphones and come back to me!  Sick innit?  I’m a big fan of their music and it was great to chat in more depth about the making of their EP, shooting their first video and more good stuff 4 ya. Mon the town!  Hit the link below to become a Patron of the podcast (there's even some extra benefits for doing s...

Welcome to casting couch....  The human fridge from the footsteps of the Mourne's joined me for this episode, and you'd be fair wrong to expect this chat to be all about lifting weights and calorie defecits.  Tony is an online coach when he's not at his full time job which involves guzzling the guts of 5000 calories into him every day and wearing speedos by a pool or a beach.  Give the wingnut a f...

Howya lads!   "I love the beach and I love twerking", a direct quote from this episode from the wild Celtic woman herself: Bonnie Boux.    Bonnie is an absolute legend of the highest order. I pissed myself via laughter a few times in this chat that swaps between deep conversation and ridiculousness.   She's a women with her fingers in many pies. She's a host, performer, choreographer, comedian, we...

Live from Dundalk's first taphouse, Mo Chara x Higher Training presents a couple of hours of great craic and (in)coherent insight into the work that it took these three young fla's to create the liveliest pub in the town.    Beware, after pint 4 or 5 things begin to go downhill. Luke Kelly got mentioned and I'll say no more.    Watch on Youtube or listen on Spotify, Apple, Podbean or wherever you...

This episode was recorded at the Seeking Judy (@seekingjudy) HQ in Dundalk and I was joined by Emma (@thepositivityplug_) who has been on a journey of self discovery and promotion of healthy living and came along to share some of that with us.   We talk about the daily facades that most of us walk around with, we discuss the tools that we use to help our mental health, what it's like dealing with...

You read the title correct.   Oisin (who is a personal trainer from Athlone) undertook the challenge of eating McDonald's every day for 14 days in the hope of losing weight, which he did.    The podcast is more than just about him eating McNuggets, we get stuck into fat loss as a whole and discuss whether we feel like we need to look a certain way in order to get clients.    Do we need to look a c...

We're branching out into discussing fashion now fuckers! We get into what sustainability in fashion is all about (plus some tips for YOU as a consumer), how Megan started Seeking Judy and the challenges she's faced since then plus loads of weird and wonderful tangents over a can of Guinness.  Even the ould fairies and irish folklore get a mention! Yes that's your friendly neighbourhood Pig drinkin...

16 time county champ, 3 time All-Ireland club champ, 4 Ulster's with Armagh, an International Rules win in 2008 and the list goes on.    But we don't just want to hear about the wins, we want to know how a small town like Crossmaglen became the golden standard of club football in Armagh, Ulster and all of Ireland at one stage.    "Doing the simple things right" sprung up a few times in this conver...
