The weeks episode we invite Derek Meaney from Dublin, Ireland onto the podcast. Another wonderful conversation with Derek celebrating a massive milestone of being Alcohol Free for 18 months. He shares how the process was easier by having an Alcohol Free Coach and that everything that has changed has surprised him. Derek has been running for over 10 years but since going Alcohol Free his performance has supercharged - Breaking his PB's at ALL distance in 2024. What an amazing year he has had. We are certain you will enjoy the conversation and be inspired by Derek's story.

Each week Andy and Rich will bring you a few minutes of tips and thoughts from their wealth of experience of running over the past 15 years and from there combined 9 Years of Alcohol Free living.

This week it's just Andy and Rich having a catch up and chatting about what's going on in both their worlds - another candid honest conversation. Both are excited to embark on their training to Spring Marathons and to share the joys with a group of runners going on a life changing journey over the coming months.

Andy has the uncertainty of not knowing if the Valencia Marathon is happening in 2 weeks on the 1st December and reflects on another year of running - Rich reflects on the ups and downs of life. Looking forward to the end of a challenging year and starting to look forward to 2025.

In this week's episode with just Rich and Andy we have a great catch up - Talk about whats been effecting us this week and discuss the really sad news of the lose of Liam Payne from One Direction and the effects of Alcohol. The Boys make decisions about Races in 2025 and are excited to announce plans to take a groups on an adventures toward Spring Marathon.

This week Rich and Andy have a great chat with Alcohol Free legend, Andy Garwood. Andy's story is full of inspiration from him deciding to take a break from Booze back in 2017 all they through to 16 months ago dusting down his trainers and giving running one more try. What has happened over this period is so inspirational and proves his message that 'its never too late to change' is so so true. Even though we talk about age being just a number we have to remind ourselves just how hard it is to change as we get older and in Andy's 60th year on this planet he will be taking on his first Marathon in Amsterdam next weekend.

We hope you enjoy our conversation.
