The Global Gael - From The Couch To The Norseman Finish Line With Willie Murphy
After coming up short in a Celtman triathlon, Dubliner Willie Murphy felt he was pretty much done with the sport - but then his name was pulled out of the hat as one of only 260 racers at the 2023 Norseman - the world's most extreme triathlon - and he had to think again. But there was a a problem. Willie had lost all his motivation and hadn't trained in ages, so how on earth could he get from being on his couch to the finish line of the Norseman - a 3.8km swim, 180km bike ride and a marathon that finishes at the top of a mountain - in just eight months? Hear his amazing story on this week's Global Gael.
