Episode 48 with Danny O’Sullivan  

Last night I sat down with Danny to have a deeply moving and inspiring conversation. Danny from Tralee Co. Kerry has been an inspiration through his fitness endeavours with running events and most recent completing a sub 10h Ironman in Copenhagen at his first attempt but when you hear his story of what he’s biggest challenges are in life right now it’s sure to inspire many others. 

Danny is a father of two wonderful young children who lost their mother Alison to cancer only 4 months ago at the age of only 37 . In the face of this unimaginable grief that no one should go through,  Danny has turned to his training on a day to day basis not to escape but as a way to show up and to navigate his loss, stay strong for his children, and find purpose in the toughest of times.

We have a very open an honest conversation around many topics:

• How Danny has managed to balance training, fatherhood, and grief
• The role that health and fitness have played in his healing journey
• His time spent in Perth Australia with Alison
• His football career with Kerins O’Rahillys and Kerry
• His deeper passion for running
• His experience racing at Ironman Copenhagen 
• What the future holds for him
• How he continues to cope with the loss of his wife

Danny’s journey is a testament to the fact that endurance isn’t just about sport, it’s about life itself.
