Episode 47 - Joan Healy

Joan Healy is as dedicated as they come. Joan is an Irish runner specialising in the 60 meter sprint. Over the years, Joan has shone on the track to the point where she is now 4th on the all time Irish list for the 60 meter indoor event, which she ran in a blazing 7.31 seconds in 2020!

It’s been an extremely challenging 18 months for Joan, who has suffered a number of debilitating injuries. This meant she missed out on World Relays last March, and also  put a halt to her Tokyo Olympic hopes, however these concerns are now behind her and she looks to the latter end of 2021 with excitement and determination.

Joan has put an incredible amount of work to into getting her body and mind in the right place and she is now  fit, firing and ready to attack qualification for the World Indoors and Relay Championships that take place in Belgrade and Oregon respectively. During our chat, Joan takes us through her journey to date, home life, training structure and preparation, mindset,  nutrition and so much more during this chat! Enjoy!
